Integration

This document outlines key theorems regarding integration covered in Math 157 - Analysis I. It discusses the definition of the lower and upper integrals of a bounded function f over an interval [a,b] and their relationship to the integrability of f. It then presents 8 theorems about integral properties such as: 1) The lower integral over one partition is less than or equal to the upper integral over another partition. 2) A function is integrable if the upper and lower integrals can be made arbitrarily close by choosing a fine enough partition. 3) Continuous functions are integrable.

Math 157 - Analysis I:

Integration
The setting: f bounded on [a, b], P : a = t0 < t1 < < tn = b a partition of [a, b], mi = inf [ti1 ,ti ] f (x), Mi = sup[ti1 ,ti ] f (x), L(f, P ) = n mi (ti ti1 ), U (f, P ) = n Mi (ti i=1 i=1 ti1 ), L(f ) = supP L(f, P ), U (f ) = inf P U (f, P ). Finally, if U (f ) = L(f ) we say that f is b b integrable on [a, b] and set a f = a f (x)dx = U (f ) = L(f ). Theorem 1. For any two partitions P1,2 , L(f, P1 ) U (f, P2 ). Theorem 2. f is integrable i for every > 0 there is a partition P such that U (f, P ) L(f, P ) < . Theorem 3. If f is continuous on [a, b] then f is integrable on [a, b]. Theorem 4. the lhs does).

Theorem 5. If f and g are integrable on [a, b] then so is f + g, and a f + g = a f + a g. Theorem 6. If f is integrable on [a, b] and c is a constant, then cf is integrable on [a, b] b b and a cf = c a f . Theorem 7a . If f g on [a, b] and both are integrable on [a, b], then a f a g. Theorem 7. If m f (x) M on [a, b] and f is integrable on [a, b] then m(b a) b f M (b a). a x Theorem 8. If f is integrable on [a, b] and F is dened on [a, b] by F (x) = a f , then F is continuous on [a, b].
