This book or any part thereof rust not be reproduced in any form without the ttn permission of the publisher ISBN 0 471 05657 7 Library of Congress Catolog Card Number: 66-2108, Printed inthe United States of America wooatess Preface ‘This book was written to present to a reader having only a modest ‘mathematical background the chief results in the modern theory of integration which was initiated by Lebesgue in 1902. Lebesgue's integral has now become one of the cornerstones of mathematical analysis. This book developed from my lectures in a course at the University of Ilinois and should be accesible to advanced under- sraduate and beginning graduate students; its prerequisites are an understanding of the elementary theory of real analysis and the ability ocomprehend “e ~ Sarguments.” Although itis likely that a reader would have some familiarity with the Riemann integral, I donot presuppose that he has mastered is theoretical details, forthe presenta- tion given here does not depend on the Riemann integral. A solid course in “advanced calculus,” or familiarity with the fist third of my book, The Elements of Real Analysis, should provide adequate back- ‘round for reading this book. thas been my experience, both as student and teacher, that most students have difficulty in seeing the subject as a whole, and that surprisingly many have troubles with some of its major parts. 1 suspect that this is partly atributable to the different approaches to {integration theory, but I think that it may also be due to the character fof the current texts. Most authors who trent abstract measure spaces SMart with fairly extensive and detailed discissions of measure theory; ‘only later do they turn to integration. This tends to give the impression Yi The Elements of Invegration iat an elaborate theory of measure is required for an understanding of integration. I feel that ths is no more true than that a detailed study of set theory is required for an understanding of topology. Other authors prefer to get to the integral and its properties quickly Such books often start with some type of “elementary integral” and ‘extend it to a larger clas of functions, after which they obtain whatever measure theory they wish. Their point of departure varies widely. It may be the Riemann integral on the continuous functions on an imerval ora rectangle; it may be a linear functional on a collection of continuous functions; it may be an abstractly defined integral on & class offunetions. Usually, these treatments inject topological notions at an early stage where, in my judgment, topology is neither needed not desired ‘Although f also wish to develop the integral as soon as it can be conveniently done, I prefer to discuss abstract measure spaces. 1 Fegard the convergence theorems as the raison d'étre forthe theory and consider set theory, measure theory, and topology to be largely imelevant—they cannot be completely disregarded, but they should not be given undue prominence atthe outset, for they only complicate the situation. However, once the initial steps have been taken and the integral has been established, the reader should try to connect the integral with other parts of mathematics. Integration theory is much like point set topology: it is a basic subject, but it is not an end in itself. My purpose has been to strike directly toward the main results; I have not attempted to follow all the avenues which have been opened. Thus, a reader who completes this book is not through; instead, I hope that he will delve into the ‘many questions that Ihave purposely aid aside, 1 put them aside be- cause Ife! that these questions are not truly relevant to an introductory development ofthe basic ideas of integration; this does not mean that they are trivial or uninteresting. There is much that is yet to be done for the reader, but if this book helps speed him on his way, it has acoom- plished its purpose Since this intended as an introduction, I shall deal with real-valued functions and with countably additive measures. Until recently it was ‘thought that countable additivity was a necessary ingredient of any Preface vi “decent” theory of integration, but I believe this has been fully exploded by Chapter III of the treatise of Dunford and Schwartz (5) Although various theoris of vector-valued integration are available, 1 do not touch upon this subject, bu refer the reader to References [2] and (5}, and the papers cited there. For treatments of the “abstract” theory of integration, I recommend References [3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 13] For the “elementary integral” approgch, I suggest that the reader frst ‘consult (14] for orientation, and then sample References (4 6 8 9,11, 13}, In [16, 18} both approaches are developed and related to cach other. In writing this book, I have benefited greatly from my teachers, colleagues, and students. Most of what I present is derived from what 1 learned from some member of one of these three groups of people. ‘Lam particularly indebted to my colleague A. L, Peressni, who read an earlier draftof this manuscript. Professor George Orland made several suggestions, enabling me to strengthen certain theorems and to correct other proofs; Professor N. T. Hamilton proposed an example (now Exercise 10.5) one Saturday afternoon over coffee. Mrs. Carolyn Bloemker ably typed the nal version ofthe manuscript, and the galley proofs were checked by Mr. Charles W. Mullins, who caught a number of errors. To all ofthese people, Iam deeply indebted. In addition, | greatly appreciate the cooperation ofthe staff at John Wiley and Sons {or their help and consideration, Ronext G.

The later work of Newton and Leibniz ‘enabled this method to grow into a systematic tool for such calculations. this theory developed, it has become less concerned with applica- tions to lementary mechanics, for which itis entirely adequate, and more concer analytic questions, for Which the clasical theory of integration is not al ‘Thus a present-day mathematician is apt to be interested in the con- vergence of orthogonal expansions, or in applications to differential equations or probability. For him the classical theory of integration which culminated in the Riemann integral has been largely replaced by the theory which has grown from the pioneering work of Henti Lebesgue at the beginning of this century.

Once ‘again, this inference follows easly from the Lebesgue Dominated Convergence Theorem. ‘AC the risk of oversimplifcation, we shall try to indicate the crucial difference between the Riemann and the Lebesgue definitions of the integral.

To indicate this restriction, we shall introduce the term “charge,” which is not entirely standard, 36 Denntnon, IF X is a o-algebra of subsets of a set X, then a real-valued function 2 defined on X is said to be a charge in case 1) = Oand Ais countably additive inthe sense that if (E,)is a disjoint sequence of sets in X, then (0,8) = Sue. [Since the left-hand side is independent of the order and this equality is required for all such sequences, the series on the righthand side ‘must be unconditionally convergent for all disjoint sequences of measurable sets) It is lear that the sum and difference of two charges is a charge. More generally, any finite linear combination of charges is 8 charge. It willbe seen in Chapter $ that functions which are integrable over a measure space (XX, ») give rise to charges. Later, in Chapter 8, ‘we will characterize those charges which are generated by integrable functions, EXERCISES 3A.

CHAPTER 4 The Integral In this chapter we shall introduce the integral first for nonnegative simple measurable functions and then for arbitrary nonnegative ‘extended, real-valued measurable functions. The principal result is the celebrated Monotone Convergenge-Theorem, which is a basic too! for everything that follow ‘Throughout this chapter we shall consider a fixed measure space (26,2, 1). We shall denote the collection of all X-measurabl funetions on X to R by M = M(X, X) and the collection of all none negative X-measurable functions on X to R by M? = M*(X, X) We shall define the integral of any function in M* with respect to the rmessure 4. In order to do so we shall find it convenient to introduce the notion ofa simple function. Its convenient to requite that simple funetions have values in R rather than in R. 41 Deriwition. A real-valued function is simple if it has only a finite number of values. ‘A simple measurable function g can be represented in the form, where a,¢.R and xs, is the characteristic function of a set B, in X. ‘Among these representations for p there is a unique standard repre- sentation characterized by the fact that the a, are distinct and the E 2 28 The Element of negation are disjoint.
