A Lipschitzian's condition for the measure of nonconvexity

I'm actually working on the measure of nonconvexity and its application. Especially, the Eisenfeld–Lakshmikantham MNC defined - in a Banach space - by: $$\alpha(A)=\sup_{b\in\overline{\operatorname{...

Bounded ball measure on compact metric space

Fix $c>1$. Let $(X,d)$ be a separable compact metric space, does there necessarily exist a Borel probability measure $\nu$ on $(X,d)$ such that $\operatorname{sup}_{x \in X,r>0}\frac{\nu(\...
