Topological measures and quasi-linear functionals generalize measures and linear functionals. Deficient topological measures, in turn, generalize topological mea- sures. In this paper we continue the study of topological measures on locally compact spaces. For a compact space the existing ways of obtaining topological measures are (a) a method using super-measures, (b) composition of a q-function with a topological measure, and (c) a method using deficient topological measures and single points. These techniques are applicable when a compact space is connected, locally connected, and has a certain topological characteristic, called “genus”, equal to 0 (intuitively, such spaces have no holes). We generalize known techniques to the situation where the space is locally compact, connected, and locally connected, and whose Alexandroff one-point compactification has genus 0. We define super-measures and q-functions on locally com- pact spaces. We then obtain methods for generating new topological measures by using super-measures and also by composing q-functions with deficient topological measures. We also generalize an existing method and provide a new method that utilizes a point and a deficient topological measure on a locally compact space. The methods presented allow one to obtain a large variety of finite and infinite topological measures on spaces such as Rn, half-spaces in Rn, open balls in Rn, and punctured closed balls in Rn with the relative topology (where n ≥ 2).
