### Darboux

Let $f$ be bounded on $\closedint a b$.

Suppose that:

$\displaystyle \underline {\int_a^b} \map f x \rd x = \overline {\int_a^b} \map f x \rd x$

where $\displaystyle \underline {\int_a^b}$ and $\displaystyle \overline {\int_a^b}$ denote the lower integral and upper integral, respectively.

Then the definite (Darboux) integral of $f$ over $\closedint a b$ is defined as:

$\displaystyle \int_a^b \map f x \rd x = \underline {\int_a^b} \map f x \rd x = \overline {\int_a^b} \map f x \rd x$

$f$ is formally defined as (properly) integrable over $\closedint a b$ in the sense of Darboux, or (properly) Darboux integrable over $\closedint a b$.

More usually (and informally), we say:

$f$ is (Darboux) integrable over $\closedint a b$.

### Riemann

Let $\Delta$ be a finite subdivision of $\closedint a b$, $\Delta = \set {x_0, \ldots, x_n}$, $x_0 = a$ and $x_n = b$.

Let there for $\Delta$ be a corresponding sequence $C$ of sample points $c_i$, $C = \tuple {c_1, \ldots, c_n}$, where $c_i \in \closedint {x_{i - 1} } {x_i}$ for every $i \in \set {1, \ldots, n}$.

Let $\map S {f; \Delta, C}$ denote the Riemann sum of $f$ for the subdivision $\Delta$ and the sample point sequence $C$.

Then $f$ is said to be (properly) Riemann integrable on $\closedint a b$ if and only if:

$\exists L \in \R: \forall \epsilon \in \R_{>0}: \exists \delta \in \R_{>0}: \forall$ finite subdivisions $\Delta$ of $\closedint a b: \forall$ sample point sequences $C$ of $\Delta: \norm \Delta < \delta \implies \size {\map S {f; \Delta, C} - L} < \epsilon$

where $\norm \Delta$ denotes the norm of $\Delta$.

The real number $L$ is called the Riemann integral of $f$ over $\closedint a b$ and is denoted:

$\displaystyle \int_a^b \map f x \rd x$

### Unbounded Above Positive Real Function

Let $f: \R \to \R$ be a positive real function.

Let $f$ be unbounded above on the open interval $\openint a b$.

Let $f_m$ denote the function $f$ truncated by $m$ for $m \in \Z_{>0}$.

Suppose that $f_m$ is Darboux integrable on $\openint a b$ for all $m \in \Z_{>0}$.

Suppose also that the following limit exists:

$\displaystyle \lim_{m \mathop \to \infty} \int_a^b \map {f_m} x \rd x$

Then $f$ is integrable on $\openint a b$ and can be expressed in the conventional notation of the Darboux integral:

$\displaystyle \int_a^b \map f x \rd x$

### Unbounded Real Function

Let $f: \R \to \R$ be a real function.

Let $f$ be unbounded on the open interval $\openint a b$.

Let:

$f^+$ denote the positive part of $f$
$f^-$ denote the negative part of $f$.

Let $f^+$ and $-f^-$ both be integrable on $\openint a b$.

Then $f$ is integrable on $\openint a b$ and its (definite) integral is understood to be:

$\displaystyle \int_a^b \map f x \rd x := \int_a^b \map {f^+} x \rd x - \int_a^b \paren {-\map {f^-} x} \rd x$

### Measure Space

Let $\struct {X, \Sigma, \mu}$ be a measure space.

Let $f \in \MM_{\overline \R}, f: X \to \overline \R$ be a measurable function.

Then $f$ is said to be $\mu$-integrable if and only if:

$\displaystyle \int f^+ \rd \mu < +\infty$

and

$\displaystyle \int f^- \rd \mu < +\infty$

where $f^+$, $f^-$ are the positive and negative parts of $f$, respectively.

### $p$-Integrable Function

Let $\struct {X, \Sigma, \mu}$ be a measure space.

Let $f \in \MM_{\overline \R}, f: X \to \overline \R$ be a measurable function.

Let $p \ge 1$ be a real number.

Then $f$ is said to be $p$-integrable in respect to $\mu$ if and only if:

$\displaystyle \int \size f^p \rd \mu < +\infty$

### Lebesgue

Let $\lambda^n$ be a Lebesgue measure on $\R^n$ for some $n > 0$.

Let $f: \R^n \to \overline \R$ be an extended real-valued function.

Then $f$ is said to be Lebesgue integrable if and only if it is $\lambda^n$-integrable.

Similarly, for all real numbers $p \ge 1$, $f$ is said to be Lebesgue $p$-integrable if and only if it is $p$-integrable under $\lambda^n$.
