The Henstock?Kurzweil integral, which is also known as the generalized Riemann integral, arose from a slight modification of the classical Riemann integral more than 50 years ago. This relatively new integral is known to be equivalent to the classical Perron integral; in particular, it includes the powerful Lebesgue integral. This book presents an introduction of the multiple Henstock?Kurzweil integral. Along with the classical results, this book contains some recent developments connected with measures, multiple integration by parts, and multiple Fourier series. The book can be understood with a prerequisite of advanced calculus.

"the results of the book are very interesting and profound and can be read successfully without preliminary knowledge. It is written with a great didactical mastery, clearly and precisely It can be recommended not only for specialists on integration theory, but also for a large scale of readers, mainly for postgraduate students".Mathematics Abstracts

"This Ebook is concerned with both the theory of the Kurzweil-Henstock integral and the basic facts on Riesz spaces. Moreover, even the so-called Sipos integral, which has several applications in economy, is illustrated. The aim of this Ebook is two-fold. "

This book presents the Henstock/Kurzweil integral and the McShane integral. These two integrals are obtained by changing slightly the definition of the Riemann integral. These variations lead to integrals which are much more powerful than the Riemann integral. The Henstock/Kurzweil integral is an unconditional integral for which the fundamental theorem of calculus holds in full generality, while the McShane integral is equivalent to the Lebesgue integral in Euclidean spaces. A basic knowledge of introductory real analysis is required of the reader, who should be familiar with the fundamental properties of the real numbers, convergence, series, differentiation, continuity, etc. Contents: Introduction to the Gauge or Henstock-Kurzweil Integral; Basic Properties of the Gauge Integral; Henstock''s Lemma and Improper Integrals; The Gauge Integral over Unbounded Intervals; Convergence Theorems; Integration over More General Sets: Lebesgue Measure; The Space of Gauge Integrable Functions; Multiple Integrals and Fubini''s Theorem; The McShane Integral; McShane Integrability is Equivalent to Absolute Henstock-Kurzweil Integrability. Readership: Upper level undergraduates and mathematicians interested in gauge integrals.

The book uses classical problems to motivate a historical development of the integration theories of Riemann, Lebesgue, Henstock-Kurzweil and McShane, showing how new theories of integration were developed to solve problems that earlier integration theories could not handle. It develops the basic properties of each integral in detail and provides comparisons of the different integrals. The chapters covering each integral are essentially independent and could be used separately in teaching a portion of an introductory real analysis course. There is a sufficient supply of exercises to make this book useful as a textbook.

This book offers to the reader a self-contained treatment and systematic exposition of the real-valued theory of a nonabsolute integral on measure spaces. It is an introductory textbook to Henstock-Kurzweil type integrals defined on abstract spaces. It contains both classical and original results that are accessible to a large class of readers.It is widely acknowledged that the biggest difficulty in defining a Henstock-Kurzweil integral beyond Euclidean spaces is the definition of a set of measurable sets which will play the role of 'intervals' in the abstract setting. In this book the author shows a creative and innovative way of defining 'intervals' in measure spaces, and prove many interesting and important results including the well-known Radon-Nikodým theorem.

The book is primarily devoted to the Kurzweil-Stieltjes integral and its applications in functional analysis, theory of distributions, generalized elementary functions, as well as various kinds of generalized differential equations, including dynamic equations on time scales. It continues the research that was paved out by some of the previous volumes in the Series in Real Analysis. Moreover, it presents results in a thoroughly updated form and, simultaneously, it is written in a widely understandable way, so that it can be used as a textbook for advanced university or PhD courses covering the theory of integration or differential equations.

This is the first book that presents the theory of stochastic integral using the generalized Riemann approach. Readers who are familiar with undergraduate calculus and want to have an easy access to the theory of stochastic integral will find most of this book pleasantly readable, especially the first four chapters. The references to the theory of classical stochastic integral and stochastic processes are also included for the convenience of readers who are familiar with the measure theoretic approach.

Explores the basics of social policy and program analysis, such as designing new programs or evaluating and improving existing ones. Social Policy and Social Programs is distinctive in providing specific criteria for judging the effectiveness of social policies and programs. These criteria can be applied to the analysis of widely different social services such as counseling and therapeutic services, supportive assistance, and "hard" benefits like food stamps, cash, and housing vouchers. By focusing especially on social problems, policies, and programs in major practice areas like child welfare, health, poverty, and mental illness, the author provides students with the tools they need to understand and evaluate the programs in which they are doing their field placements. Upon completing this book readers will be able to: Analyze the effectiveness of current social programs Create new programs based on the criteria provided Apply what they have learned to evaluate their field placement programs Note: MySearchLab does not come automatically packaged with this text.
