Definition: unique positive value, if it exists, associated with a subset of a surface in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, with the following properties:

  • for a rectangle, the value is the product of the two side lengths,
  • for a disjoint union of subsets, the value is the sum of the values associated with these subsets,
  • for more complicated subsets, the value can be approximated by sums and given by an integral
