Partitions; Upper and Lower Sums.
DEFINITION 7.1. A partition of [a, b] is a finite set
P = {x0, x₁,x₂,..., Xn}
such that a = xo, b = xn, and x0 < x1 < x₂ < ... < Xn.
REMARK 7.2. Given a partition {xo, x1, x2, ..., xn} of [a, b] and a bounded function ƒ : [a, b] → R,
consider a subinterval [x-1, xi]. Denote
• m₂ = inf{f(x) : f = [i-1, xi]}
M₁ = sup{f(x): ƒ € [xi-1, xi]}
DEFINITION 7.3. Consider a bounded function f [a, b] → R, and consider a partition P =
{x0, x1, x2,..., n} of [a, b]. Define
the upper sum as
n
U (f, P)
ΣM₁ · (xi — xi-1), and
i=1
the lower sum as
n
L(f, P) := Σmi ⋅ (xi — Xi–1).
i=1
DEFINITION 7.4. Consider a partition P = {x0, x₁, x2,..., n} of [a, b]. A partition of [a, b] is
called a refinement of P if PCQ.
PROPOSITION 7.5. Consider a bounded function f : [a, b] → R and a partition P = {xo, x1, x2,..., n}
of [a, b]. If Q is a refinement of P, then
U(f, P) ≥ U(ƒ,Q) and L(f, P) ≤ L(ƒ, Q).
PROPOSITION 7.6. Let f: [a, b] → R be bounded.
(1) If P is a partition of [a, b], then L(ƒ, P) ≤ U(ƒ, P).
(2) If P₁ and P₂ and any partitions of [a, b], then
L(f, P₁) ≤U(f, P₂).
