Restricted Lebesgue Measure and Integral Toolkit on a Compact Interval

On a compact interval, Lebesgue measure restricts to a finite measure space whose sets are the Borel sets of the interval; integrals there agree with integrals of zero extensions over the line, with the Riemann integral for bounded measurable Riemann-integrable and for continuous integrands, and are unchanged off a co-null set; a nonnegative integrand with integral zero vanishes almost everywhere.

Statement

In the settings of Measurable Functions and the Lebesgue Integral: Notation and The Real Line: Standing Notation and Background for Calculus on Intervals, assume the axiom of dependent choice. Let a,b∈Ra,b\in\mathbb{R} with a<ba<b, let [a,b][a,b] be the closed interval, and let λ\lambda be Lebesgue measure on R\mathbb{R}. Write ([a,b],B[a,b],λ[a,b])([a,b],\mathcal{B}_{[a,b]},\lambda_{[a,b]}) for the restriction of (R,B(R),λ)(\mathbb{R},\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}),\lambda) to [a,b][a,b], as in Measurable Functions and the Lebesgue Integral: Notation (ix); thus B[a,b]={B∈B(R):B⊆[a,b]}\mathcal{B}_{[a,b]}=\{B\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}):B\subseteq[a,b]\} and λ[a,b](B)=λ(B)\lambda_{[a,b]}(B)=\lambda(B) for B∈B[a,b]B\in\mathcal{B}_{[a,b]} (Integrals of Functions over a Measurable Subset (i)). Let B([a,b])\mathcal{B}([a,b]) be the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of the metric space ([a,b],d[a,b])([a,b],d_{[a,b]}) of The Real Line: Standing Notation and Background for Calculus on Intervals (iv). For functions [a,b]→R[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}, measurable refers to B[a,b]\mathcal{B}_{[a,b]}, and L1(λ[a,b])\mathcal{L}^{1}(\lambda_{[a,b]}) and ∫f dλ[a,b]\int f\,d\lambda_{[a,b]} are as in Measurable Functions and the Lebesgue Integral: Notation (vi) for this measure space. A function f:[a,b]→Rf:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} is bounded if there is B∈RB\in\mathbb{R} with ∣f(t)∣≤B|f(t)|\le B for every t∈[a,b]t\in[a,b].

The measure space. The measure λ[a,b]\lambda_{[a,b]} is finite, with

λ[a,b]([a,b])=b−a,\lambda_{[a,b]}([a,b])=b-a,

and B[a,b]=B([a,b])\mathcal{B}_{[a,b]}=\mathcal{B}([a,b]).

Riemann integral and Lebesgue integral. Let f:[a,b]→Rf:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} be bounded, Riemann integrable on [a,b][a,b] and measurable. Then f∈L1(λ[a,b])f\in\mathcal{L}^{1}(\lambda_{[a,b]}) and

∫f dλ[a,b]=∫abf,\int f\,d\lambda_{[a,b]}=\int_{a}^{b}f,

the right-hand side being the Riemann integral of ff over [a,b][a,b].

Continuous functions. Let f:[a,b]→Rf:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R} be continuous on [a,b][a,b]. Then ff is measurable, bounded and Riemann integrable on [a,b][a,b], f∈L1(λ[a,b])f\in\mathcal{L}^{1}(\lambda_{[a,b]}), and

∫f dλ[a,b]=∫abf.\int f\,d\lambda_{[a,b]}=\int_{a}^{b}f .
