    Zidii Rajpoot
    This document defines the Riemann integral and discusses partitions, upper and lower sums, and Riemann integrability. It states that a function is Riemann integrable on an interval if it is bounded and for any epsilon greater than 0, there exists a partition where the upper and lower sums differ by less than epsilon. It also notes that continuous functions are integrable and defines the upper and lower integrals as the infimum of upper sums and supremum of lower sums over all partitions, and the integral is their common value if they are equal.

    1- The Riemann Integral Partitions, Upper and Lower sums


    Definitions: Let [a, b] be an interval in R. The lower Riemann sum of f over P is
    A partition of [a, b] is . . . L(f , P ) = ∑nj=1 mj (f )∆xj where mj (f ) = inf(f ([xj −1 , xj ]))
    The norm of a partition P is . . . Note:
    A refinement of a partition P is . . . For g : N → R,
    Let P = {x0 , x1 , . . . , xn } be a partition of [a, b], ∑nk =m (g (k + 1) − g (k )) = g (n + 1) − g (m)
    ∆xj = xj − xj −1 , and suppose f : [a, b] → R is bounded. If f (x ) = α is constant, U (f , P ) = L(f , p) = α(b − a)
    The upper Riemann sum of f over P is L(f , P ) ≤ U (f , P ) for all f and P.
    n If Q is a refinement of P, then
    U (f , P ) = ∑ Mj (f )∆xj where Mj (f ) = sup(f ([xj −1, xj ])) L(f , P ) ≤ L(f , Q ) ≤ U (f , Q ) ≤ U (f , P ).
    j =1 For any Q and P, L(f , Q ) ≤ U (f , P )
