Noun

IPA: /ləˈbɛːɡ ˈmɛ.ʒɚ/ [US] Forms: Lebesgue measures [plural]
Etymology: Named after French mathematician Henri Lebesgue. Head templates: {{en-noun|head=Lebesgue measure}} Lebesgue measure (plural Lebesgue measures)
  1. (mathematical analysis) A unique complete translation-invariant measure for the σ-algebra which contains all k-cells in a given Euclidean space, and which assigns a measure to each k-cell which is equal to that k-cell's volume (as defined in Euclidean geometry: i.e., the volume of the k-cell equals the product of the lengths of its sides).
