Given a nonempty abstract set , and a covering class , and a finite, finitely subadditive outer measure , we construct an outer measure and investigate conditions for to be submodular. We then consider severalother set functions associated with and obtain conditions for equality of thesefunctions on the lattice generated by . Lastly, we describe a construction of a finite, finitely subadditive outer measure given an arbitrary family of subsets, ℬ, of and a nonnegative, finite set function defined on ℬ
