The Riemann–Stieltjes integral admits integration by parts in the form () = () () ()and the existence of either integral implies the existence of the other. [2]On the other hand, a classical result [3] shows that the integral is well-defined if f is α-Hölder continuous and g is β-Hölder continuous with α + β > 1 .
The Darboux integral is defined whenever the Riemann integral is, and always gives the same result. Conversely, the gauge integral is a simple but more powerful generalization of the Riemann integral and has led some educators to advocate that it should replace the Riemann integral in introductory calculus courses.

The Weyl tensor has the same basic symmetries as the Riemann tensor, but its 'analogue' of the Ricci tensor is zero: = = = = The Ricci tensor, the Einstein tensor, and the traceless Ricci tensor are symmetric 2-tensors:
Linearity rules (+) = + () = ()Zero rule =; Product rule = = () (); In general, composition (or semigroup) rule is a desirable property, but is hard to achieve mathematically and hence is not always completely satisfied by each proposed operator; [3] this forms part of the decision making process on which one to choose:
In mathematics, a Riemann sum is a certain kind of approximation of an integral by a finite sum. It is named after nineteenth century German mathematician Bernhard Riemann . One very common application is in numerical integration , i.e., approximating the area of functions or lines on a graph, where it is also known as the rectangle rule .
In mathematics, the Riemann–Liouville integral associates with a real function: another function I α f of the same kind for each value of the parameter α > 0.The integral is a manner of generalization of the repeated antiderivative of f in the sense that for positive integer values of α, I α f is an iterated antiderivative of f of order α.
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 ...
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
