The real case is homogeneity of the integral; the case c = ∞ follows from the monotone convergence theorem applied to the multiples kf, which increase to ∞f.
Real . If , then is a real number with , and the claim is Basic Properties of the Integral of Nonnegative Measurable Maps (iv) with .
The case . For let . By the real case, and . Let . Since , Arithmetic in [0,∞]: Monoid Laws, Distributivity, Monotonicity and Cancellation (iv) gives . Moreover is not bounded above in (Infima, the Archimedean Property, Density of the Rationals and Rational Approximation from Below in an Ordered Field Whose Nonempty Sets Bounded Above Have Suprema (ii)), so by Order and Suprema in the Extended Real Line (v), and with the commutativity of the product (Arithmetic in [0,∞]: Monoid Laws, Distributivity, Monotonicity and Cancellation (ii)) and Suprema and Finite Sums in [0,∞] (ii),
So the functions increase pointwise to , and the monotone convergence theorem, Monotone Convergence Theorem (i) and Monotone Convergence Theorem (ii), gives and
the last equality by the same computation with in place of .
