The Hopf Extension Theorem of Measure

Summary. The authors have presented some articles about Lebesgue type integration theory. In our previous articles [12, 13, 26], we assumed that some σ-additive measure existed and that a function was measurable on that measure. However the existence of such a measure is not trivial. In general, because the construction of a finite additive measure is comparatively easy, to induce a σ-additive measure a finite additive measure is used. This is known as an E.
