 Regular outer measure

An outer measure is regular in this sense when every set admits a measurable hull of equal outer measure. This is different from merely specifying inner or outer approximation of already measurable sets by compact or open sets. Lebesgue outer measure has a hull that is a Borel set: for finite outer measure choose open covers of total volumes within $1/j$ of its value and intersect their unions. Monotonicity gives equality of the hull's outer measure with that of the original set. For infinite outer measure the whole Euclidean space is a hull. This regularity is useful for turning numerical equality of inner and outer sizes into measurability.
