Construction of Regular Non-Atomic Strictly-Positive Measures in Second-Countable Non-Atomic Locally Compact Hausdorff Spaces

Abstract

This paper presents a constructive proof of the existence of a regular non-atomic strictly-positive measure on any second-countable non-atomic locally compact Hausdorff space. This construction involves a sequence of finitely-additive set functions defined recursively on an ascending sequence of rings of subsets with a set function limit that is extendable to a measure with the desired properties. Non-atomicity of the space provides a meticulous way to ensure that the set function limit is σ-additive.
