Motivated by the limitations of the traditional definitions of the Riemann-Stieltjes and Darboux-Stieltjes integrals, we introduce a generalized Darboux-Stieltjes integral that is equivalent to an earlier generalization by Ross [19]. Our definition builds upon an approach to the Darboux-Stieltjes integral recently introduced by the first author and Convertito [5]. We show that our definition agrees with all previous definitions, but that the class of integrable functions is much larger. We develop all the analogs of the classic results for the Riemann integral, and rectify the problems inherent in the definition of the Darboux-Stieltjes integral in [5]. In particular, we show the Bounded Convergence Theorem holds for our definition and that it agrees with the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral. CONTENTS 1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
