To avoid the use of Stone’s theorem (paracompactness of metrizable spaces), it is given a simple direct proof of this special case of Frolík’s result.

The primary aim is to introduce a generalized concept of general relative multifractal Hausdorff and packing measures. In particular, we delve into the characteristics of the generalized multifractal Hausdorff and packing measures and analyze their impact on the broader multifractal spectrum functions. The investigation explores the connection between these generalized multifractal measures and the nature of general multifractal dimensions within this framework. Further, we establish an equivalence relation between general relative multifractal Hausdorff and packing measures by utilizing density theorems.
