+{% definition Signed Measure %}
+A *signed measure* on a σ-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ on a set $X$
+is a mapping $\mu : \mathcal{A} \to [-\infty,\infty]$ such that

+- $\mu(\varnothing) = 0$,
+- either there is no $A \in \mathcal{A}$ with $\mu(A) = -\infty$
+ or there is no $A \in \mathcal{A}$ with $\mu(A) = \infty$,
+- for every sequence $(A_n)_{n \in \NN}$ of
+ pairwise disjoint sets $A_n \in \mathcal{A}$
+ {: .my-0 }
