Dans le contexte triadique de Cantor, partons d'une masse distribuée sur (0,1) avec la densité uniforme égale à 1. Effacer le tiers central divise cette masse en parties égales .. réparties avec les densités 3/2, o, et 3/2 [...] Quand on aura répété la procédure à l'infini, la masse formera ce que nous allons appeler une mesure de Besicovitch [...] Il est clair, pour commencer, qu'aucun intervalle ouvert ne constitue une intermission absolue. 1, record 1, French, - mesure%20de%20Besicovitch
