RIEMANN INTEGRATION Introduction ; Historically, the concept of integration came into existence as a means of evaluating area under a curve and was based on the notion of the limit of a sum when the number of terms in the sum tends to infinity, each-term tending to zero. This notion of integral as summation is associated with dependence on geometric concepts, In elementary calculus, the subject of integration is generally introduced as the inverse of differentiation and the integral of a function is sometimes, called an antle derivative, The German Mathematician G.F.B, Riemann (1826-1866) in 1850 gave a purely arithmetic approach to formulate an independent theory of integration. He, not only, made the process of integration free from geometric concepts but also separated the concept of integration from its companion differentiation, In present chapter, we study the theory of Riemann integration which is explicitly based on the order structure of the real line, The functions involved are taken as bounded one on closed bounded intervals. The study of integration regarding unbounded functions and unbounded intervals is dealt in next chapter under the title improper integrals, PARTITIONS 1, PARTITIONS AND RIEMANN (OR DARBOUX) SUMS : Def, : Partition ; Let (a, b| be a closed interval, Let xx, i such that EX 6X, CX, Sassen SX SN x, be real numbers %, = ay Then the set P={A= XX pyannadyy Yom = b| is called a partition ofa, b) ‘The partition P consists of (n + 1) points. Pa tbe 4] are the subintervals of partition and union of all these sub-intervals is la, b]. For example, (.3.2}. {1.1.2 1.4,1.6,1.8 2}, {11.75,1.87,2} are all partitions of interval (1, 2], Clearly, an interval can have infinite number of partitions, (However, the number of points in any partition is always finite). We shall denote by Pla, bl, the family of all partitions of [a,b]. Def, + Norm of a partition : Let {a, b] be a closed interval, Let P=(a = Xyy Xp Xyponn Xe Kprsnonnky =D} be a partition of [a, b]. Let §, =x, -x;., = length of ith subinterval The maximum of the lengths of the subintervals 6,5,,.....8, is known as norm of partition P, It is denoted by || P| ie, | P= max. {3 :1sisn} For example, let P = 13 .al.p, = {1,1.21.4,1,6,1.8, 2} and P, ={1,1.75,1.87,2} be 27) partitions of interval (1, 2), then ||P, = d ||P, f= 0.2, || B | = 0.75. Def, : Refinement of a partition ; Let P and P* be partitions of a closed interval [a, b] such that Pc P*, then P* is called a refinement of P, For example, for the interval (1, 2), (i) | {1,1.25,1.6,1.75, 2} is arefinement of {1.1.5.2}, (i) {1,1.2,1.4,1.6,1.8, 2} is nota refinement of {1 {11.52}, (il) (1.1.5, 2} isa refinement of {11.5 2}, Note that superset is a refinement of subset, Observations ; 1, Itis clear that P UP, isa refinement of P and P, both Its known as the common refinement, 2, IfP* isa refinement of P, then | P*)< ||P. 8, If P** is a refinement of P* and P* is a refinement of P, then P** is a refinement of P, Def. : Upper and Lower Riemenn Sums : Let f be a bounded real valued function defined on a closed interval (a, b).
