$X$ a numerable set, $f$ a positive function, then $mu(A) = sum_{xin A} f(x)$ $sigma$-finite?












1












$begingroup$


Let $(X$, ${mathscr P}(X), mu)$ a measurable space, where $X$ is a numerable set, $f: X rightarrow [0, infty]$ a positive function.
If we define the measure as
$$mu(A) = sum_{xin A} f(x), text{for }Asubset X $$
is $mu$ $sigma$-finite? I feel like this shouldn't hold for every single positive function, any other than $text{ }f(x) = infty text{ }foralltext{ } x in X$ which is pretty ridiculous, but I can't think of any other.

          Actually, $mu$ will be $sigma$-finite if and only if $f(x)<+infty$ for all $xin X$.



          Indeed, if $f(x)<+infty$ for all $xin X$, then ${{x},xin X}$ is a countable partition of $X$ and each element as a finite measure.



          If $mu$ is $sigma$-finite, there exists a sequence of subsets of $X$, say $left(A_nright)_{ngeqslant 1}$ such that $muleft(A_nright)<+infty$ and $bigcup_{ngeqslant 1}A_n=X$. Let $xin X$; there exists some $n$ such that $xin A_n$. Then
          $$
          f(x)=muleft({x}right)leqslant muleft(A_nright)<+infty.
          $$
