	Integral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The integral of a continuous, positive real-valued function f of one real variable x between a left endpoint a and a right endpoint b is equal to the area bounded by the lines x = a, x = b, the x-axis, and the curve defined by the graph of f.
		Improper integrals usually turn up when the range of the function to be integrated is infinite or, in the case of the Riemann integral, when the domain of the function is infinite.
		The Riemann-Stieltjes integral, an extension of the Riemann integral.

		In calculus, the integral, of a function, is the size of the area bounded by the x-axis and the graph of a function, f(x); negative areas are possible.
		The concept of Riemann integration was developed first, and Lebesgue integrals were developed to deal with pathological cases for which the Riemann integral was not defined.
		Both the Riemann and the Lebesgue integral are approaches to integration which seek to measure the area under the curve, and the overall schema in both cases is the same.

	Henri Lebesgue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To define this integral, one fills the area under the graph with smaller and smaller rectangles and takes the limit of the sums of the areas of the rectangles at each stage.
		The Riemann integral had been generalised to the improper Riemann integral to measure functions whose domain of definition was not a closed interval.
		Although Lebesgue's integral was an example of the power of generalisation, Lebesgue himself did not approve of generalisation in general and spent the rest of his life working on very specific problems, generally in mathematical analysis.

	Riemann integral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the branch of mathematics known as real analysis, the Riemann integral, created by Bernhard Riemann, was the first rigorous definition of the integral of a function on an interval.
		The definition of the Lebesgue integral is not obviously a generalization of the Riemann integral, but it is not hard to prove that every Riemann-integrable function is Lebesgue-integrable and that the values of the two integrals agree whenever they are both defined.
		An integral which is in fact a direct generalization of the Riemann integral is the Henstock-Kurzweil integral.

	Integral
		In calculus, the integral of a function is a generalization of area, mass, volume and total.
		Intuitively, the integral of a continuous, positive real-valued function f of one real variable x between a left endpoint a and a right endpoint b represents the area bounded by the lines x = a, x = b, the x-axis, and the curve defined by the graph of f.
		The integral of f(x) is the area between the curve y = f(x) and the x-axis in the interval [a, b].

	PlanetMath: improper integral
		So there is no ambiguity in using the same simbol for improper integrals and usual Riemann integrals (but we will see that there is an ambiguity when dealing with Lebesgue integrals).
		In particular this function is not summable (in the sense of Lebesgue integrals) on the interval
		This is version 5 of improper integral, born on 2002-02-27, modified 2006-05-09.

	Henri Lebesgue
		The first theory of integration was developed by Archimedes in the third century BC with his method of quadratures, but this could be applied only in limited circumstances with a high degree of geometric symmetry.
		To define this integral, one fills the area under the graph with smaller and smaller rectangles and takes the limit of the sums of the rectangles at each stage.
		Lesbesgue's idea was to first build the integral for what he called simple functions[?], functions that take only finitely many values.

		Intuitively, the integral of a continuous, positive real-valued function f of one real variable x between aleft endpoint a and a right endpoint b represents the area bounded by the lines x=a, x=b, thex-axis, and the curve defined by the graph of f.
		Improper integrals usually turn up when the range of the function is infinite or, in the case of the Riemann integral, when the domain is infinite.

		Motivation of defining measure: since Lebesgue integral is a integral over a set which is not a real number, we have to assign a real number to a set, which is called a measure.
		One of the limitations of the Riemann integral is that it is based on the concept of an "interval", or rather on the length of subintervals
		Riemann integral can be extended to improper Riemann integrals, but can not allow functions that are extended real valued.

	integration
		In the nineteenth century, Augustin Cauchy finally developed a rigorous theory of limits, and Bernhard Riemann followed this up by formalizing what is now called the Riemann integral.
		Instead of using the areas of rectangles, a method that puts the focus on the domain of the function, Lebesgue turned to the codomain of the function for his fundamental unit of area.
		The Riemann integral had been generalized to the improper Riemann integral to measure functions whose domain of definition was not a closed interval.

		Though the origins of integral calculus are generally regarded as going no farther back than to the ancient Greeks, there is evidence that the ancient Egyptians may have harbored such knowledge as well.
		Integral calculus determines the exact distance traveled during an interval of time by creating a series of better and better approximations, called Riemann sums, that approach the exact distance.
		Applications of integral calculus arise whenever the problem is to compute a number that is in principle (approximately) equal to the sum of the solutions of many, many smaller problems.

		The aim of this course is to introduce students to the beautiful theory of Riemann surfaces, as pioneered by the work of Riemann, Hilbert, Weyl, the modern interpretation and application of this work to the study of galois coverings of curves and fundamental groups in arithmetic geometry.
		Riemann surfaces originated in complex analysis as a means of dealing with the problem of multi-valued functions.
		Although the theory of Riemann surfaces is vast, there are a number of excellent books on the subject and it will be possible for us to follow a thread through the subject to two of the cental results and their algebraic applications: namely the Riemann-Existence Theorem and the Fundamental Theorem on Galois coverings.

	An Introduction to the Gauge Integral
		The Riemann integral is simpler to define than any of the other integrals discussed below, and it is the "standard" integral that we teach to undergraduate students.
		Neither the improper Riemann integral nor the Lebesgue integral yielded a fully satisfactory construction of antiderivatives.
		It was already hard enough with the Riemann integral -- for that integral we had to use rather bizarre functions, such as the characteristic function of the rationals.

		By employing a Mellin analysis we construct a general framework to exhibit the relation of the asymptotic decay laws to certain dimensions of the orthogonality measure, that are defined via the divergence abscissas of suitable integrals.
		The local dimensions $d(\mu;s)$ are the divergence abscissas of the singular integrals ${\cal G}(\mu;s,z)$, eq.
		For $\Re(z) < D_2(\mu)$ the integral ${\cal E}(\mu;z)$ is convergent.

		The basic idea of the Riemann integral is to use very simple and unambiguous approximations for the area of S.
		However, in this case the integral corresponds to signed area, that is, the area above the x-axis minus the area below the x-axis.
		Any Riemann sum of f on [0, 1] will have the value 1, therefore the Riemann integral of f on [0,1] is 1.

		However, if the integral $\int f(x)\,dx$ is an improper Riemann integral, the usual one from Calculus, the value of that integral is the same as that of the Lebesgue integral of the same function.
		There are examples where the improper Riemann integral exists, in which the Lebesgue integral does not exist.
		It is not at all obvious but it is true that the integral is a finite Lebesgue integral for almost all $t.$ The proof of this depends on Fubini's Theorem, $(4)$ in the notes on Lebesgue theory.

		With a suitable generalized integral it is possible to treat discrete and continuous random variables identically (as well as the mixed random variables), but this approach lies far beyond the scope of our course.
		Also note that in all these cases the pdf behaves as a linear density function in the physical sense: the definite integral of the density of a nonhomogeneous wire or of a lamina gives the mass of the wire or lamina over the specified interval.
		As in the discrete case this integral may not converge, in which case the expectation if X is undefined.
