Adjoint classes of generalized-Stieltjes integrable functions (Q1978951)

First, in addition to his previous paper [Real. Anal. Exch. 23, No.~1, 235-240 (1997/98; Zbl 0944.26017)], the author shows that the set \(\widetilde {\text{C}}[a,b]\) of functions \(f:[a,b]\to \mathbb R\) \((-\infty <a<b<\infty)\) bounded on \([a,b]\) and such that they have at most countably many discontinuities in \([a,b]\) forms together with BV\([a,b]\cap \) C\([a,b]\) an adjoint pair with respect to the Riemann-Stieltjes integral. Then, he introduces three additional classes of functions \(g:[a,b]\to \mathbb R\): \(\overline {\text{BV}}[a,b]\) is the set of functions \(g\) regulated on \([a,b]\) and such that \(\sup (\sum _{i=1}^n |g(t_i-)-g(t_{i-1}+)|+ \sum _{i=1}^n |g(t_i+)-g(t_i-)|) < \infty ,\) the supremum being taken over all finite partitions \(a=t_0<t_1<\dots <t_n=b\) of \([a,b],\) \(\overline {\text{AC}}[a,b]\) is the set of functions \(g\in \overline {\text{BV}}[a,b]\) of the form \(g=g_1+\varphi +\psi ,\) where \(g_1\) is absolutely continuous on \([a,b],\) \(\varphi (t)=\sum c_j \theta (t-s_j),\) \(\theta (t)=0\) if \(t\leq 0,\) \(\theta (t)=1\) if \(t>0,\) \(s_j,\) \(j\in \mathbb N,\) are the points of discontinuity of \(g\) in \([a,b],\) \(\psi (t-)=\psi (t+)=0\) on \((a,b)\) and \(\psi (a+)=\psi (b-)=0\) and R\([a,b]\) is the set of functions which are Riemann integrable on \([a,b].\) Finally, he shows that the pairs \(\widetilde {\text{C}}[a,b],\) \(\overline {\text{BV}}[a,b]\) and R\([a,b],\) \(\overline {\text{AC}}[a,b]\) are adjoint with respect to the Ross-Riemann-Stieltjes integral [cf. \textit{K.~A.~Ross}, Am. Math. Mon. 87, 660-662 (1980; Zbl 0446.26005)].
