Riemann–Stieltjes integrability theorem
Continuity of the integrand and bounded variation of the integrator guarantee Riemann–Stieltjes integrability.
Riemann–Stieltjes integrability theorem
Riemann–Stieltjes integrability theorem: Let . If is continuous and is a bounded variation function , then is Riemann–Stieltjes integrable with respect to the integrator function on .
Since every monotone function has bounded variation, this theorem extends existence of the Riemann integral (the case ) to a wider class of integrators.
