    HENSTOCK-KURZWEIL INTEGRATION: ITS RELATION TO TOPOLOGICAL VECTOR SPACES

    by Jaroslav Kurzweil (Mathematical Institute of the Academy of Sciences, the Czech Republic)

    Henstock-Kurzweil (HK) integration, which is based on integral sums, can be obtained by an inconspicuous change in the definition of Riemann integration. It is an extension of Lebesgue integration and there exists an HK-integrable function f such that its absolute value |f| is not HK-integrable. In this book HK integration is treated only on compact one-dimensional intervals.

    The set of convergent sequences of HK-integrable functions is singled out by an elementary convergence theorem. The concept of convergent sequences is transferred to the set P of primitives of HK-integrable functions; these convergent sequences of functions from P are called E-convergent. The main results: there exists a topology U on P such that (1) (P,U) is a topological vector space, (2) (P,U) is complete, and (3) every E-convergent sequence is convergent in (P,U). On the other hand, there is no topology U fulfilling (2), (3) and (P,U) being a locally convex space.

    Readership: Graduate students and mathematicians.
     
    “… the results of the book are very interesting and profound and can be read successfully without preliminary knowledge. It is written with a great didactical mastery, clearly and precisely … It can be recommended not only for specialists on integration theory, but also for a large scale of readers, mainly for postgraduate students.”
