Counting MeasureIn mathematics, the counting measure is an intuitive way to put a measure on any set: the "size" of a subset is taken to be the number of the subset's elements if this is finite, and ∞ if the subset is infinite. Formally, start with a set Ω and consider the sigma algebra X on Ω consisting of all subsets of Ω. Define a measure μ on this sigma algebra by setting μ(A) = |A| if A is a finite subset of Ω and μ(A) = ∞ if A is an infinite subset of Ω. Then (Ω, X, μ) is a measure space. The counting measure allows to translate many statements about Lp spaces into more familiar settings. If Ω = {1,...,n} and S is the measure space with the counting measure on Ω, then Lp(S) is the same as Rn (or Cn), with norm defined by -
for x = (x1,...,xn). Similarly, if Ω is taken to be the natural numbers and S is the measure space with the counting measure on Ω, then Lp(S) consists of those sequences x = (xn) for which -
is finite. This space is often written as .
