Problem Statement

Let us use the word N N-measure for nonnegative, finitely additive set functions defined on all subsets of the positive integers, equal to 0 0 on finite sets, and equal to 1 1 on the whole set. We say that the system Υ \Upsilon of sets determines the N N-measure μ \mu if any N N-measure coinciding with μ \mu on all elements of Υ \Upsilon is necessarily identical with μ \mu. Prove the existence of an N N-measure μ \mu that cannot be determined by a system of cardinality less than continuum. I. Juhasz
