Abstract

We examine an effective version of the standard fact from analysis which says that, for any @e0 and any Lebesgue-measurable subset of Cantor space, X@?2^@w, there is an open set U"@e@?2^@w,U"@e@?X, such that @m(U"@e)@?@m(X)+@e, where @m(Z) denotes the Lebesgue measure of Z@?2^@w, that arises naturally in the context of algorithmic randomness. More specifically, our main result shows that for any given rational numbers 0@?@e
