Counting Measure of the Empty Set
The counting measure of the empty set is 0, as there are no elements to count in an empty set.
Counting Measure of a Finite Set
The counting measure of a finite set is the number of elements in the set. For example, for the set {1, 2, 3}, the counting measure is 3.
Definition of Counting Measure
Counting measure on a set is a measure that assigns to each subset of the set the number of elements in the subset, possibly infinity.
Additivity
Counting measure is countably additive, meaning if you have a countable collection of disjoint sets, the measure of their union is the sum of their measures.
Counting Measure of an Infinite Set
The counting measure of an infinite set is infinity () because the number of elements cannot be assigned a finite value.
Counting Measure of a Singleton Set
The counting measure of a singleton set, which contains exactly one element, is always 1. For instance, for the set {42}, the counting measure is 1.
