Wikipedia

  1. Null set

    In mathematical analysis, a null set N ⊂ R {\displaystyle N\subset \mathbb {R} } is a measurable set that has measure zero. This can be characterized as a set that can be covered by a countable union of intervals of arbitrarily small total length. The notion of null set should not be confused with the empty set as defined in set theory. Although the empty set has Lebesgue measure zero, there are also non-empty sets which are null. For example, any non-empty countable set of real numbers has Lebesgue measure zero and therefore is null. More generally, on a given measure space M = ( X , Σ , μ ) {\displaystyle M=(X,\Sigma ,\mu )} a null set is a set S ∈ Σ {\displaystyle S\in \Sigma } such that μ ( S ) = 0 {\displaystyle \mu (S)=0} .

    In mathematics, a null set is a set that is negligible in some sense. For different applications, the meaning of "negligible" varies. In measure theory, any set of measure 0 is called a null set. More generally, whenever an ideal is taken as understood, then a null set is any element of that ideal. The remainder of this article discusses the measure-theoretic notion.
