International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2003 Let ν be a finite, finitely subadditive outer measure on P(X). Define ρ (E)=ν (X)−ν (E′) for E⊂X. The measurable sets Sν and Sρ and the set S={E⊂X/ν (E)=ρ (E)} are investigated in general, and in the presence of regularity or modularity assumptions on
