On decomposable measures induced by metrics. (English) Zbl 1252.28001
Summary: We prove that for a given normalized compact metric space it can induce a $$\sigma$$-max-superdecomposable measure, by constructing a Hausdorff pseudometric on its power set. We also prove that the restriction of this set function to the algebra of all measurable sets is a $$\sigma$$-max-decomposable measure. Finally we conclude this paper with two open problems.
