RELATIONS BETWEEN PACKING PREMEASURE AND MEASURE ON METRIC SPACE

Let X be a metric space andμa finite Borel measure on X. Let pμq,t and pμq,t be the packing premeasure and the packing measure on X, respectively, defined by the gauge (μB(x,r))q(2r)t, where q, t∈R. For any compact set E of finite packing premeasure the authors prove: (1) if q≤0 then pμq,t(E)=pμq,t(E);(2)if q>0 andμis doubling on E then pμq,t(E) and pμq,t(E) are both zero or neither.

The nonlinear term may be singular in its dependent variable and is allowed to change sign. Our results are new even for the corresponding differential and difference equations . As an application, an example is given to illustrate our result.
