Lebesgue outer measure regularity












0












$begingroup$


In $mathbb{R}$, the outer regularity of Lebesgue measure gives $m^*(A)=inf{m(A)mid E text{ is open and } A subset E}$.



Can we replace $E$ as measurable sets instead of open sets? I am not able to prove it. Looking for some hints. Thanks in advance.

          You can but the result is somewhat trivial. Since every open set is Lebesgue measurable, we have
          $$inf{m(E)mid E text{ is measurable},; A subseteq E} leq inf{m(E)mid E text{ is open}, ;Asubseteq E} = m^*(A).$$
          This follows because the left infimum has a greater range.
          By monotonicity, $m^{*}(A) leq m^{*}(E) = m(E)$ holds for all measurable $E$.



          Therefore, we have
          $$m^*(A) leq inf{m(E)mid E text{ is measurable}, A subseteq E}$$
