Extract

Let Rn denote Euclidean n-space. For p ∈ [0, ∞), the normalized Hausdorff p-dimensional outer measure of a set E ⊂ Rn is defined as

where the infimum is taken over all countable coverings of E by sets Ej with

and

(See, for example (4).) Then ℋP (E) measures the p-dimensional size of E. For example, ℋ0 (E) ≤ ∞ if and only if E is finite, in which case ℋ0(E) = card (E). Next if E is an arc or Jordan curve, then ℋ1(E) ≤ ∞ if and only if E is rectifiable, in which case ℋ1(E) = length (E). Finally if p is an integer in [1, n] and if E lies in a p-dimensional hyperplane T in Rn, then

where mp denotes the Lebesgue p-dimensional outer measure in T. Thus as p varies from 0 to n, the measures ℋp interpolate in a natural way between the counting measure and Lebesgue outer measure in Rn.
