Abstract
We have collected definitions and basic results for the (centered ball) density in metric space with respect to an arbitrary Hausdorff function. We have kept the definitions general: we do not assume the Hausdorff functions are continuous or blanketed, and we do not assume the metric space is a subset of Euclidean space. We discuss the covering measure (= centered Hausdorff measure) and packing measure defined from these densities.
