Approximating the area under the curve y = x 2 over [0, 2] using the right Riemann sum. Notice that because the function is monotonically increasing, the right Riemann sum will always overestimate the area contributed by each term in the sum (and do so maximally).
The trapezoidal rule may be viewed as the result obtained by averaging the left and right Riemann sums, and is sometimes defined this way. The integral can be even better approximated by partitioning the integration interval, applying the trapezoidal rule to each subinterval, and summing the results. In practice, this "chained" (or "composite ...
where the integral on the right is an ordinary improper Riemann integral (f ∗ is a strictly decreasing positive function, and therefore has a well-defined improper Riemann integral). [27] For a suitable class of functions (the measurable functions) this defines the Lebesgue integral.
An alternative approach (Hewitt & Stromberg 1965) is to define the Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral as the Daniell integral that extends the usual Riemann–Stieltjes integral. Let g be a non-decreasing right-continuous function on [a, b], and define I( f ) to be the Riemann–Stieltjes integral
One popular restriction is the use of "left-hand" and "right-hand" Riemann sums. In a left-hand Riemann sum, t i = x i for all i, and in a right-hand Riemann sum, t i = x i + 1 for all i. Alone this restriction does not impose a problem: we can refine any partition in a way that makes it a left-hand or right-hand sum by subdividing it at each t i.
A converging sequence of Riemann sums. The number in the upper left is the total area of the blue rectangles. They converge to the definite integral of the function. We are describing the area of a rectangle, with the width times the height, and we are adding the areas together.

Riesz showed that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the claim that the above is true for any e larger than /. [1] In the same paper, he added a slightly pessimistic note too: « Je ne sais pas encore decider si cette condition facilitera la vérification de l'hypothèse » ("I can't decide if this condition will facilitate the ...
