Reason: First published version of the proof of the norm bound for vector-valued integrals, by pairing the integral with itself and applying Cauchy-Schwarz pointwise.

Proof

Measurability and boundedness of g|g|. The Euclidean norm satisfies xyxy\big||x|-|y|\big|\le|x-y| for x,yRnx,y\in\mathbb{R}^n, by the triangle inequality, so xxx\mapsto|x| is sequentially continuous on Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Since the components of gg are measurable, sequentially continuous functions of measurable Euclidean maps shows that sg(s)s\mapsto|g(s)| is measurable. If gi(s)Ki|g^i(s)|\le K_i for all ss and ii, then g(s)2=igi(s)2iKi2|g(s)|^2=\sum_i g^i(s)^2\le\sum_iK_i^2, so g|g| is bounded; being nonnegative, bounded and measurable on a set of finite measure, it is integrable and [a,b]g(s)ds0\int_{[a,b]}|g(s)|\,ds\ge0 by monotonicity of the integral.

The inequality. If I=0I=0 then I=0|I|=0 and the inequality holds. Assume I0I\neq0. By linearity of the integral applied to the finite linear combination iIigi\sum_iI^ig^i,

I2=II=i=1nIi[a,b]gi(s)ds=[a,b](i=1nIigi(s))ds=[a,b]Ig(s)ds,|I|^2=I\cdot I=\sum_{i=1}^nI^i\int_{[a,b]}g^i(s)\,ds=\int_{[a,b]}\Big(\sum_{i=1}^nI^ig^i(s)\Big)ds=\int_{[a,b]}I\cdot g(s)\,ds ,

where I2=II|I|^2=I\cdot I by the elementary properties of the Euclidean norm. For every ss, the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, applied to the positive semidefinite quadratic form given by the identity matrix, whose associated bilinear form is the dot product, gives Ig(s)Ig(s)I\cdot g(s)\le|I|\,|g(s)|. By monotonicity and linearity of the integral,

I2[a,b]Ig(s)ds=I[a,b]g(s)ds.|I|^2\le\int_{[a,b]}|I|\,|g(s)|\,ds=|I|\int_{[a,b]}|g(s)|\,ds .

Dividing by I>0|I|>0 gives I[a,b]g(s)ds|I|\le\int_{[a,b]}|g(s)|\,ds. \blacksquare
