Integrals of Riemann, Stieltjes and Lebesgue type (26A42) Inequalities for sums, series and integrals (26D15)

Abstract: Let $F:[a,b]longrightarrowR$ have zero derivative in a dense subset of $[a,b]$. What else we need to conclude that $F$ is constant in $[a,b]$? We prove a result in this direction using some new Mean Value Theorems for integrals which are the real core of this paper. These Mean Value Theorems are proven easily and concisely using Lebesgue integration, but we also provide alternative and elementary proofs to some of them which keep inside the scope of the Riemann integral.

Review text

The main result in this interesting paper is a mean value theorem in the spirit of the paper by \textit{J. J. Kohilal} [Am. Math. Mon. 116, No. 4, 356--361 (2009; Zbl 1229.26009)]: if \(F[a,b]\mapsto\mathbb R\) is absolutely continuous then both sets \(\bigl\{c: F'(c)(b-a) \leq F(b) - F(a)\bigr\}\) and \(\bigl\{c: F'(c)(b-a) \geq F(b) - F(a)\bigr\}\) have positive measure. An easy deduction from this result is that if \(F'(x)=0\) almost everywhere then \(F\) is a constant. This result can easily be written as an integral mean value theorem for the Lebesgue integral and the author gives analogue for the Riemann integral that has the corollary: if \(F\) is a Riemann integral with \(F'(x) = 0\) on a dense set then \(F\) is a constant.
