Author Description

"The authors aim to introduce the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral on the real line in a natural way as an extension of the Riemann integral. They made the treatment as practical as possible. The evaluation of Lebesgue-Stieltjes integrals is discussed in detail, as are the key theorems of integral calculus as well as the standard convergence theorems. The book then concludes with a brief discussion of multivariate integrals and surveys of L[superscript p] spaces and some applications. Exercises, which extend and illustrate the theory, and provide practice in techniques, are included."--BOOK JACKET.
