A note on Cauchy integrability

Publication date 23 September 2014

Abstract: We show that for any bounded function

f : [a, b] i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R

and

e p s i l o n > 0

there is a partition

P

of

[a, b]

with respect to which the Riemann sum of

f

using right endpoints is within

e p s i l o n

of the upper Darboux sum of

f

. This leads to an elementary proof of the theorem of Gillespie cite{G} showing that Cauchy's and Riemann's definitions of integrability coincide.
