On dominant integrability (Q1097435): Difference between revisions

Let w(f,a,b) be the oscillation of a function f on an interval [a,b], namely sup\(\{| f(x)-f(y)|:\) \(a\leq x\leq y\leq b\}\). The main purpose of the paper under review is to prove the following theorem: ``Let f be a complex function on (0,1] and let \(0<\delta <1\). A necessary and sufficient condition for f to be dominantly integrable is that it be Riemann integrable on each [a,1], \(0<a<1\), and that \(\sum^{\infty}_{j=1}w(f,\delta \quad j,\delta^{j-1})\delta \quad j<\infty.\)'' Dominant integrability of f means Riemann integrability of f on each closed subinterval of (0,1] and the existence of a real, nonnegative function g, nonincreasing on (0,1], with \(\int^{1}_{o+}g(x)dx<\infty,\) satisfying throughout (0,1] the inequality \(| f(x)| \leq g(x)\).
