A version holds for Fourier series as well: if is an integrable function on a bounded interval, then the Fourier coefficients ^ of tend to 0 as . This follows by extending f {\displaystyle f} by zero outside the interval, and then applying the version of the Riemann–Lebesgue lemma on the entire real line.
The converse does not hold; not all Lebesgue-integrable functions are Riemann integrable. The Lebesgue–Vitali theorem does not imply that all type of discontinuities have the same weight on the obstruction that a real-valued bounded function be Riemann integrable on [a, b].
Divide the plane into two parts denoted by + (the inside) and (the outside), determined by the index of the contour with respect to a point. The classical problem, considered in Riemann's PhD dissertation, was that of finding a function + = + (),
of a Riemann integrable function defined on a closed and bounded interval are the real numbers and , in which is called the lower limit and the upper limit. The region that is bounded can be seen as the area inside a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} .
The Riemann–Stieltjes integral appears in the original formulation of F. Riesz's theorem which represents the dual space of the Banach space C[a,b] of continuous functions in an interval [a,b] as Riemann–Stieltjes integrals against functions of bounded variation. Later, that theorem was reformulated in terms of measures.
The Lebesgue criterion for integrability states that a bounded function is Riemann integrable if and only if the set of all discontinuities has measure zero. [5] Every countable subset of the real numbers - such as the rational numbers - has measure zero, so the above discussion shows that Thomae's function is Riemann integrable on any interval.
The Riemann integral of a function defined over an arbitrary bounded n-dimensional set can be defined by extending that function to a function defined over a half-open rectangle whose values are zero outside the domain of the original function. Then the integral of the original function over the original domain is defined to be the integral of ...
In the first decade of the 20th century, parallel developments led to the introduction of Hilbert spaces. The first of these was the observation, which arose during David Hilbert and Erhard Schmidt's study of integral equations, [13] that two square-integrable real-valued functions f and g on an interval [a, b] have an inner product
