Problem 2.16

Show that a set EE is measurable if for each ϵ>0\epsilon > 0, there is a closed set FF and open set O\mathcal{O} for which F⊆E⊆OF \subseteq E \subseteq \mathcal{O} and m(O∼F)<ϵm(\mathcal{O} \sim F) < \epsilon.

Problem 2.17

Assume that m∗(E)<∞m^{*}(E) < \infty. Show that there is a GδG_{\delta } set GG that contains EE and m(G)=m∗(E)m(G) = m^{*}(E). Show that EE is measurable if and only if there is a GδG_{\delta } set that contains GG and m∗(G∼E)=0m^{*}(G \sim E) = 0.

Problem 2.18

Assume that m∗(E)<∞m^{*}(E) < \infty. Show that if EE is not measurable, then there is an open set O\mathcal{O} containing EE that has finite outer-measure and for which

m∗(O∼E)>m∗(O)−m∗(E) m^{*}(\mathcal{O} \sim E) > m^{*}(\mathcal{O})-m^{*}(E)
?
Problem 2.19

Let EE have finite outer-measure. Show that EE is measurable if and only if for each open, bounded interval (a,b)(a, b),

b−a=m∗((a,b)∩E)+m∗((a,b)∼E) b-a = m^{*}((a, b) \cap E)+m^{*}((a, b) \sim E)

Problem 2.20

For any set AA, define m∗∗(A)∈[0,∞]m^{* *}(A) \in [0, \infty ] by

m∗∗(A)=inf⁡{m∗(O)∣O⊇A,O open } m^{* *}(A) = \inf \left\{ m^{*}(\mathcal{O}) \mid \mathcal{O} \supseteq A, \mathcal{O} \text{ open }\right\}

How is this set-function m∗∗m^{* *} related to outer-measure m∗m^{*} ?

Problem 2.21

For any set AA, define m∗∗∗(A)∈[0,∞]m^{* * *}(A) \in [0, \infty ] by

m∗∗∗(A)=sup⁡{m∗(F)∣F⊆A,F closed } m^{* * *}(A) = \sup \left\{ m^{*}(F) \mid F \subseteq A, F \text{ closed }\right\}

How is this set-function m∗∗∗m^{* * *} related to outer-measure m∗m^{*} ?
