Lebesgue criterion for Riemann integrability

A bounded function is Riemann integrable iff its discontinuities form a measure-zero set
Lebesgue criterion for Riemann integrability

Lebesgue criterion for Riemann integrability: Let f:[a,b]Rf:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} be , and let D[a,b]D\subseteq[a,b] be the set of points where ff is discontinuous. Then ff is on [a,b][a,b] if and only if DD has ; i.e., for every ε>0\varepsilon>0 there exists a countable collection of open {Ij}\{I_j\} such that Dj=1Ijandj=1Ij<ε. D\subseteq \bigcup_{j=1}^\infty I_j \quad\text{and}\quad \sum_{j=1}^\infty |I_j|<\varepsilon.

This theorem is the complete structural characterization of Riemann integrability and explains exactly which discontinuity sets are allowed.
