Hausdorff Gauge


A Hausdorff gauge is a continuous nondecreasing function h:[0,infty)->[0,infty) with h(0)=0 and h(r)>0 for r>0. It replaces the power of the diameter in the definition of Hausdorff measure:

 H^h(E)=lim_(delta->0)inf{sum_(j)h(diamU_j):E subset=  union _jU_j, diamU_j<=delta},

where covers are countable. The choice h(r)=r^s gives the diameter convention for s-dimensional Hausdorff measure. A gauge is exact for a set when that set has positive finite gauge measure.
