Size pair

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In size theory, a size pair is a pair (M,\varphi), where M\ is a compact topological space and \varphi:M\to \mathbb{R}^k is a continuous function[1] [2] [3]. The function \varphi is called a measuring function. The topological space M\ is usually assumed to be also a locally connected and Hausdorff space.
