Regulted functions nd the Perron-Stieltjes integrl Miln Tvrd Dedicted to Professor Otkr Boruvk on the occsion of his ninetieth birthdy Mthemticl Institute Acdemy of Sciences of the Czech Republic 115 67 PRAHA 1, itn 25, Czech Republic (e-mil: tvrdy@mth.cs.cz) Abstrct. Properties of the Perron-Stieltjes integrl with respect to regulted functions re investigted. It is shown tht liner continuous functionls on the spce G L ( b) of functions regulted on [ b] nd left-continuous on ( b) my be represented in the form F (x) =qx()+ Z b p(t)d[x(t)] where p 2 R nd q(t) is function of bounded vrition on [ b]: Some bsic theorems (e.g. integrtion-by-prts formul, substitution theorem) known for the Perron-Stieltjes integrl with respect to functions of bounded vrition re estblished. AMS Subject Clssiction. 26 A 42, 26 A 45, 28 A 25, 46 E 99. Keywords. regulted function, function of bounded vrition, Perron-Stieltjes integrl, Kurzweil integrl, left-continuous function, liner continuous functionl. 0. Introduction This pper dels with the spce G ( b) of regulted functions on compct intervl [ b]: It is known tht when equipped with the supreml norm G ( b) becomes Bnch spce, nd liner bounded functionls on its subspce G L ( b) of functions regulted on [ b] nd left-continuous on ( b) cn be represented by mens of the Dushnik-Stieltjes (interior) integrl. This result is due to H. S. Kltenborn [7], cf. lso Ch. S. H nig [5, Theorem 5.1]. Together with the known reltionship between the Dushnik-Stieltjes integrl, the -Young-Stieltjes integrl nd the Perron-Stieltjes integrl (cf. Ch. S. H nig [6] nd. Schwbik [11],[12]) this enbles us to see tht F 1

2 sopis p st. mt. 114 (1989), No. 2, pp. 187-209 is liner bounded functionl on G L ( b) if nd only if there exists rel number q nd function p(t) of bounded vrition on [ b] such tht F (x) =qx()+ p(t)d[x(t)] for ny x 2 G L ( b) where the integrl is the Perron-Stieltjes integrl. We will give here the proof of this fct bsed only on the properties of the Perron-Stieltjes integrl. To this im, the proof of the existence of the integrl f(t)d[g(t)] for ny function f of bounded vrition on [ b]ndny function g regulted on [ b] is crucil. Furthermore, we will prove extensions of some theorems (e.g. integrtionby-prts nd substitution theorems) needed for deling with generlized dierentil equtions nd Volterr-Stieltjes integrl equtions in the spce G ( b): 1. Preliminries Throughout the pper R n denotes the spce of rel n-vectors, R 1 = R: Given x 2 R n its rguments re denoted by x 1 x 2 ::: x n (x = (x 1 x 2 ::: x n )). N stnds for the set of ll nturl numbers (N = f1 2 :::g). Given M R M denotes its chrcteristic function ( M (t) =1ift 2 M nd M (t) =0ift 62 M:) Let ;1 < < b < 1: The sets d = ft 0 t 1 ::: t m g of points in the closed intervl [ b] such tht = t 0 <t 1 < <t m = b re clled divisions of [ b]: Given division d of [ b] its elements re usully denoted by t 0 t 1 ::: t m : The couples D =(d ) where d = ft 0 t 1 ::: t m g is divisionof[ b] nd =( 1 2 ::: m ) 2 R m is such tht t j;1 j t j for ll j =1 2 ::: m re clled prtitions of [ b]: A function f :[ b] 7! R which possesses nite limits f(t+) = lim f() nd f(s;) = lim f()!t+!s; for ll t 2 [ b) nd ll s 2 ( b] is sid to be regulted on [ b]: The set of ll regulted functions on [ b] is denoted by G ( b): Given f 2 G ( b) we dene f(;) =f() f(b+) = f(b) nd + f(t) =f(t+) ; f(t) ; f(t) =f(t) ; f(t;)

M.Tvrd : Regulted functions nd the Perron-Stieltjes integrl 3 f(t) =f(t+) ; f(t;): for ny t 2 [ b]: (In prticulr, we hve ; f() = + f(b) =0 f() = + f() nd f(b) = ; f(b).) It is known (cf. [5, Corollry 3.2]) tht if f 2 G ( b) then for ny " > 0 the set of points t 2 [ b] such tht j + f(t)j >" or j ; f(t)j >" is nite. Consequently, for ny f 2 G ( b) the set of its discontinuities in [ b] is countble. The subset of G ( b) consisting of ll functions regulted on [ b] nd left-continuous on ( b) will be denoted by G L ( b): A function f : [ b] 7! R is clled nite step function on [ b] if there exists division ft 0 t 1 ::: t m g of [ b] such tht f is constnt on every open intervl (t j;1 t j ) j =1 2 ::: m: The set of ll nite step functions on [ b] is denoted by S( b): A function f :[ b] 7! R is clled brek function on [ b] if there exist sequences ft k g 1 [ b] fc ; k g1 R nd fc + k g1 R such tht t k 6= t j for k 6= j c ; =0 if k t k = c + =0 if k t k = b 1X c ; nd (1.1) k f(t) = X tkt + c + < 1 k c ; k + X tk<t c + k for t 2 [ b] or equivlently f(t) = 1X c ; k [tk b](t)+c + k (tk b](t) for t 2 [ b]: Clerly, if f is given by (1.1), then + f(t k ) = c + k nd ; f(t k ) = c ; k for ny k 2 N nd f(t;) = f(t) = f(t+) if t 2 [ b] nft k g 1 : Furthermore, we hve f() =0 nd X 1 vr b f = c ; + c + k k for ny such function. The set of ll brek functions on [ b] is denoted by B ( b): BV( b) denotes the set of ll functions with bounded vrition on [ b] nd kfk BV = jf()j +vr b f for f 2 BV( b):

4 sopis p st. mt. 114 (1989), No. 2, pp. 187-209 It is known tht for ny f 2 BV( b) there exist uniquely determined functions f C 2 BV( b) nd f B 2 BV( b) such tht f C is continuous on [ b] f B is brek function on [ b] nd f(t) = f C (t) +f B (t) on [ b] (the Jordn decomposition of f 2 BV( b)). In prticulr, if W = fw k g k2n is the set of discontinuities of f in [ b] then (1.2) f B (t) = 1X ; f(w k ) [w k b](t)+ + f(w k ) (w k b](t) 2 [ b]: Moreover, if we put (1.3) f B n (t) = nx ; f(w k ) [w k b](t)+ + f(w k ) (w k b](t) on [ b] for ny n 2 N then (1.4) lim kf B n ; f B k BV =0 (cf. e.g. [14, the proof of Lemm I.4.23]). Obviously, Given f 2 G ( b) we dene S( b) B ( b) BV( b) G ( b): kf k = sup jf(t)j: t2[ b] Clerly, kfk < 1 for ny f 2 G ( b) nd when endowed with this norm, G ( b) becomes Bnch spce (cf. [5, Theorem 3.6]). It is known tht S( b) isdense in G ( b) (cf. [5, Theorem 3.1]). It mens tht f :[ b] 7! R is regulted if nd only if it is uniform limit on [ b] of sequence of nite step functions. Obviously, G L ( b) is closed in G ( b) nd hence it is lso Bnch spce. (Neither S( b) nor B ( b) re closed in G ( b) of course.) For some more detils concerning regulted functions see the monogrphs by Ch. S. H nig [5] nd by G. Aumnn [1] nd the ppers by D. Fr kov [2] nd [3]. The integrls which occur in this pper re the Perron-Stieltjes integrls. We will work with the following denition which is specil cse of the denition due to J. Kurzweil [8]. Let ;1 <<b<1: An rbitrry positive vlued function :[ b] 7!

M.Tvrd : Regulted functions nd the Perron-Stieltjes integrl 5 Given functions f g : [ b] 7! R nd prtition D =(d ) of[ b] let us dene S D (f g) = mx f( j )[g(t j ) ; g(t j;1 )]: We sy tht I 2 R is the Kurzweil integrl of f with respect to g from to b nd denote I = f(t)d[g(t)] or I = if for ny ">0 there exists guge on [ b] such tht I ; SD (f g) <" for ll -ne prtitions D of [ b]: The Perron-Stieltjes integrl with respect to function not necessrily of bounded vrition ws dened by A. J. Wrd [15] (cf. lso S. Sks [10, Chpter VI]). It cn be shown tht the Kurzweil integrl is equivlent totheperron-stieltjes integrl (cf. [11, Theorem 2.1], where the ssumption g 2 BV( b) is not used in the proof nd my be omitted). Consequently, the Riemnn-Stieltjes integrl (both of the norm type nd of the -type, cf. [4]) is its specil cse. The reltionship between the Kurzweil integrl, the -Young-Stieltjes integrl nd the Perron-Stieltjes integrl ws described by. Schwbik (cf. [11] nd [12]). Since we will mke use of some of the properties of the -Riemnn-Stieltjes integrl, let us indicte here the proof tht this integrl is included in the Kurzweil integrl. (For the denition of the -Riemnn-Stieltjes integrl, see e.g. [4, Sec. II.9].) 1.1. Proposition. R Let f g : [ b] 7! R nd I 2 e such tht the -Riemnnb Stieltjes integrl f dg exists nd equls I. Then the Perron-Stieltjes integrl R b f dg exists nd equls I s well. Proof. Let f dg = I 2 R i.e. for ny ">0 there is division d 0 = fs 0 s 1 ::: s m0 g of [ b] such tht for ny division d = ft 0 t 1 ::: t m g which is its renement (d 0 d) nd ny 2 R m such tht D =(d ) is prtition of [ b] the inequlity S D (f g) ; I <" f dg

Proposition. Let f 2 BV( b) be continuous on [ b] nd let g 2 G ( b) then both the -Riemnn-Stieltjes integrls exist. f dg nd Proof. Let f 2 BV( b) which is continuous on [ b] nd g 2 G ( b) be given.according to the integrtion-by-prts formul [4, II.11.7] for -Riemnn-Stieltjes integrls to prove the lemm it is sucient toshow tht the integrl gdf exists. First, let us ssume tht n rbitrry 2 [ b] isgiven nd g = [ ] : Let us put gdf f bg d 0 = f bg if = or = b if 2 ( b):

M.Tvrd : Regulted functions nd the Perron-Stieltjes integrl 7 It is esy to see tht then for ny prtition D =(d ) such tht d 0 d = ft 0 t 1 ::: t m g we hve = t k for some k 2f0 1 ::: mg nd ( f() ; f() if k+1 > S D (g f) = f(t k+1 ) ; f() if k+1 = : Since f is ssumed to be continuous, it is esy to show tht for given ">0 there exists division d of [ b] such tht d 0 d nd SD (g f) ; [f() ; f()] <" holds for ny prtition D =(d ) of[ b] with d d i.e. nd [ ] df = f() ; f() for ll 2 [ b]: By similr rgument we could show the following reltions: s well. It follows tht the integrl [ ) df = f() ; f() for ll 2 ( b] [ b] df = f(b) ; f() for ll 2 [ b] ( b] df = f(b) ; f() for ll 2 [ b) gdf exists for ny f 2 BV( b) continuous on [ b] nd ny g 2 S( b)(cf. Remrk 2.2). Now, if g 2 G ( b) is rbitrry, then there exists sequence fg n g 1 S( b) such tht lim kg n ; gk =0: Since by the preceding prt of the proof of the lemm ll the integrls g ndf hve nite vlue, by mens of the convergence theorem [4, Theorem II.15.1] vlid

8 sopis p st. mt. 114 (1989), No. 2, pp. 187-209 for -Riemnn-Stieltjes integrls we obtin tht the integrl gdf the reltion exists nd holds. This completes the proof. lim g n df = gdf 2 R A direct corollry of Proposition 1.2 nd of [4, Theorem II.13.17] is the following ssertion which will be helpful for the proof of the integrtion-by-prts formul Theorem 2.15. (Of course, we could prove it by n rgument similr to tht used in the proof of Proposition 1.2, s well.) 1.3. Corollry. Let f 2 BV( b) nd g 2 G ( b): Let + f(t) + g(t) = ; f(t) ; g(t) =0 for ll t 2 ( b): Then both the -Riemnn-Stieltjes integrls exist. f dg nd gdf It is well known (cf. e.g. [14, Theorems I.4.17, I.4.19 nd Corollry I.4.27] tht if f 2 G ( b) nd g 2 BV( b) then the integrl f dg exists nd the inequlity f dg ; kfk vr b g holds. The Kurzweil integrl is n dditive function of intervls nd possesses the usul linerity properties. For the proofs of these ssertions nd some more detils concerning the Kurzweil integrl with respect to functions of bounded vrition see e.g. [8], [9], [13] nd [14]. 2. Perron-Stieltjes integrl with respect to regulted functions In this section we del with the integrls f(t)d[g(t)] nd g(t)d[f(t)]

M.Tvrd : Regulted functions nd the Perron-Stieltjes integrl 9 where f 2 BV( b) nd g 2 G ( b): we prove some bsic theorems (integrtion - by - prts formul, convergence theorems, substitution theorem nd unsymmetric Fubini theorem) needed in the theory of Stieltjes integrl equtions in the spce G ( b): However, our rst tsk is the proof of existence of the integrl f dg for ny f 2 BV( b) nd ny g 2 G ( b): First, we will consider some simple specil cses. 2.1.

Then for ny 2 [ b] we hve (2.1) (2.2) (2.3) [ ] dg = g(+) ; g() [ ) dg = g(;) ; g() [ b] dg = g(b) ; g(;) (2.4) nd (2.5) ( b] dg = g(b) ; g(+) [ ] dg = g(+) ; g(;) where [) (t) (b] (t) 0 nd the convention g(;) =g() g(b+) = g(b) is used. Proof. Let g 2 G ( b) nd 2 [ b] be given. ) Let f = [ ] : It follows immeditely from the denition tht Z f dg = g() ; g(): In prticulr, 2.1 holds in the cse = b: Let 2 [ b) let ">0begiven nd let ( 1 j ; tj if <t b 2 " (t) = " if t = : It is esy to see tht ny " -ne prtition D =(d ) of[ b] must stisfy Consequently, Z b 1 = t 0 = t 1 <+ " nd S D (f g) =g(t 1 ) ; g(): nd f dg = g(+) ; g()

A function h :[ b] 7! R fulls (2.11) if nd only if h(t) =c + nx [h(w j ) ; c] [w j ](t) on [ b]: Thus the formul (2.12) follows from (2.6) (with = b) nd from (2.10) in Proposition 2.3.
