	PlanetMath: Cantor set
		However, it is possible to construct Cantor sets with positive measure as well; the key is to remove less and less as we proceed.
		Thus we have a whole family of Cantor sets of positive measure to accompany their vanishing brethren.
		The construction of a Cantor set with positive measure in the Cantor Set article provides two steps where we remove an interval centered at 1/2 and then two intervals with centers at 1/8 and 7/8.

	Measure (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Measure theory is that branch of real analysis which investigates σ-algebras, measures, measurable functions and integrals.
		A measure can be extended to a complete one by considering the σ-algebra of subsets Y which differ by a negligible set from a measurable set X, that is, such that the symmetric difference of X and Y is contained in a null set.
		The Haar measure for a locally compact topological group is a generalization of the Lebesgue measure and has a similar uniqueness property.

		The latter is absurd: since we only remove from what we have, in the "worst" case we shall remain with nothing not anything "negative".
		This follows from the fact that Cantor sets of positive measure are continuous 1-1 images of the set C
		However, neither the dimension nor measure are (necessarily) preserved under topological transformations.

		We say that a rectangle is _in F_ if the four points (x_1,y_1), (x_1,y_2), (x_2,y_1), (x_2,y_2) are in F. Lemma: The set of all rectangles in [0,1]^4 which are in F has positive measure with respect to \mu_1(x_1) \mu_1(x_2) \mu_2(y_1) \mu_2(y_2).
		For each rectangle (x_1,x_2,y_1,y_2) in Y, the measure (f_1(x_2) \delta(x-x_1) - f_1(x_1) \delta(x-x_2)) (f_2(y_2) \delta(y-y_1) - f_2(y_2) \delta(y-y_2)) is supported on F and has horizontal and vertical projections both equal to zero when multiplied by f_1(x) f_2(y).
		It is easy to show that this measure is absolutely continuous and thus of the form h(x,y) dx dy for some measurable h.

	Some nowhere dense sets with positive measure and a strictly monotonic continuous function with a dense set of points ...
		If there were no overlaps, the total measure of the intervals removed would be 1, but as there are overlaps, the measure removed is less than 1, leaving a set of positive measure which turns out to be 0.2677868402178891123766714...
		If there were no overlaps, the total measure of the intervals removed would be 1/2, but as there are overlaps, the measure removed is less, leaving a set of positive measure of more than 1/2 which turns out to be 0.5355736804357782247533428..., exactly twice the result when k=1.
		The relationship between the measure of the two remainging sets is not quite a coincidence, since the the measure of the interval remaining after given number of steps when k=1 is exactly half that after one fewer step when k=1/2.

		The set can even have a measure zero complement (which is stronger than having positive measure and being dense), since there exist F_sigma first category sets whose complements have measure zero.
		However, the "positive measure" and "dense" classifications are where the historically interesting developments lie.
		In 1881 Volterra [28] published an example of a function having a bounded derivative that was not continuous on a set of positive measure.

		We still have sympathy for the extremely difficult position WHO finds itself in as an intergovernmental agency trying to work with governments whose highest priority is not the health of the world's people, or even, in some cases, the health of their own people.
		The IHR provide that the trade and travel measures prescribed for each disease subject to the Regulations are the most restrictive measures that WHO member states may take (IHR, 1969, Article 23).
		The IHR have provisions that prevent the departure of infected persons by means of transportation and that limit actions taken against ships and aircraft en route between ports of departure and arrival, against persons and means of transport upon arrival, and against cargo, goods, baggage, and mail moving in international transport.

		He himself has been appointed to occupy in the domain of nature the position of lord and master; he, too, must lead a well regulated life, as befits a rational being, not merely because he himself chooses to do so, but also in obedience to his Creator.
		On the other hand, this position precludes the possibility of any positive international law whatever, for lasting and binding compacts between various States are possible only when the primary principle of right is recognized -- that it is just and obligatory to stand by lawful agreements.
		Besides this an international court should be established to attend to the execution of the various measures promulgated by the law and to arbitrate in case of dispute.

		This is conveniently described by an atomic measure on the time axis which gives a weight equal to one to the instants where the orbit is in $K$.
		We now observe that if we choose $x$ according to the invariant measure $\mu$, we obtain a random atomic measure on the positive real line, that is to say a point process on $\real^{+}$ (we refer to [N.] for the definitions and basic properties).
		This measure is supported by the invariant set of points whose orbit does not meet $K$.

	closed subset of positive measure
		Then there exists a closed subset F of E with mF > 0." Consider [a,b] to be the whole space, so that E^c is [a,b]\E, where \ is the set minus operation.
		We have that E^c is measurable, so that mE^c = inf sum mC_i, where {C_i} ranges over the countable coverings of E^c by disjoint open intervals (since presumably I'm working with the Borel sets generated by open intervals and can make them disjoint by a process similar to the one used in the Gram-Schmidt algorithm).
		However, since (+), we have that the measure of F is positive.
