A positive sequence converging to 0 converges to 0 from the right.
The integral of a compactly supported continuous function against a measure which is finite on the support is bounded by the supremum norm times the measure of the support.
If two sequences of Radon measures have asymptotically the same integrals against compactly supported continuous functions, then they have the same weak limits.
Weak convergence of the blow-ups gives a uniform bound for the mass of balls.
If B has density one at a and the normalized masses of the balls stay bounded, then
the normalized masses of the sets B̄ (a, r i t) \ B tend to 0.
If B has density one at a, then at small scales the measure of a ball is at most twice
the measure of its intersection with B.
The key estimate behind Mattila's Lemma 14.5: if the normalized masses outside B tend
to 0, then the blow-ups of μ and of μ.restrict B have asymptotically equal integrals.
Mattila, Lemma 14.5. If B has density one with respect to μ at a, then
restricting μ to B does not change the tangent measures at a.

Two measures agreeing on bounded measurable sets are equal.
A measure specified as φ μ on bounded measurable sets is μ.withDensity φ.
Lebesgue differentiation theorem for a Radon measure on Euclidean space.
The integral of a compactly supported continuous function against a scaled blow-up.
The key per-scale estimate behind Mattila's Lemma 14.6.
At a Lebesgue point a of φ with φ a > 0, the measure L = φ μ of a small ball is at
least φ a / 2 times the μ-measure of that ball.
At a positive Lebesgue point of φ, appropriately normalized blow-ups of μ and φ μ
have asymptotically equal integrals.
Mattila, Lemma 14.6, at a fixed Lebesgue point of the density.
Mattila, Lemma 14.6. If λ = φ μ with φ ≥ 0 locally μ-integrable, then μ
and λ have the same tangent measures at λ-almost every point.
