Empty Set

Definition 1

For a set of real number intervals I\mathcal{I}, define function l:I[0,)l : \mathcal{I} \to [ 0 , \infty ) as l(I):=supIinfIl( I ) := \sup{I} - \inf{I} and call it Length. If there exists a sequence of intervals {In  nN}\left\{ I_{n} \ | \ n \in \mathbb{N} \right\} that satisfies An=1Inn=1l(In)<ε A \subset \bigcup_{n = 1}^{\infty} I_{n} \\ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} l (I_{n}) < \varepsilon for any ε>0\varepsilon > 0, then ARA \subset \mathbb{R} is called a Null Set.
