What exactly is a probability measure in simple words? @user13985 - glad it was helpful! Hope it is useful for understanding the more technical definitions...! |

What exactly is a probability measure in simple words? @Berci - yes, and it's necessary for my example! (I tried to edit to make it more clear.) You can't get items of measure zero to "add up" to something like $0.2$ unless you take uncountably many of them together in a set. |

Can game theory model altruistic behaviour? Evolutionary game theory studies this question in large part, although not so much from the perspective of your example. The keyword here is "reciprosity" in evolutionary dynamics and evolutionary game theory. I posted some links as a comment on the posted answer also; hope they are interesting/useful! |

Can game theory model altruistic behaviour? "This is not mathematics." I disagree. In fact, the title question ("Can game theory model altruistic behavior") is a substantial portion of the field of evolutionary game theory. Begin with the wikipedia page on reciprosity, consider Nowak's book, and for examples e.g. this paper or this one. |

Looking for a probability distribution in $\mathbb{R}^n$: exponentially decreasing density as distance from point Thanks, I was missing the keyword 'multivariate' which could be very helpful! I cannot tell yet if any of the distributions mentioned in your links are equivalent to the one I'm looking for (since they don't give much geometric intuition and mainly just give the characteristic function), so any thoughts on that would be very helpful! |

A condition that balls have finite measure The only "bad" case I could think of would be something like the completely discrete metric, $d(x,y) = 1$ for all $y \neq x$. It seems like many reasonable conditions could rule such things out, but I'm wondering what the most general could be.... |

A condition that balls have finite measure @xavierm02: I could think of a discrete space, like the lattice of points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with integer coordinates, where $\mu(A) = |A|$. |
