Abstract:

Let ${\mathcal {K}_1}, {\mathcal {K}_2}$ be lattices of subsets of a set $X$ with ${\mathcal {K}_1} \subset {\mathcal {K}_2}$. The main result of this paper states that every semifinite tight set function on ${\mathcal {K}_1}$ can be extended to a semifinite tight set function on ${\mathcal {K}_2}$. Furthermore, conditions assuring that such an extension is uniquely determined or $\sigma$-smooth at $\phi$ are given. Since a semifinite tight set function defined on a lattice $\mathcal {K}$ [and being $\sigma$-smooth at $\phi$] can be identified with a semifinite $\mathcal {K}$-regular content [measure] on the algebra generated by $\mathcal {K}$, the general results are applied to various extension problems in abstract and topological measure theory.
