Theorem
A necessary and sufficient condition for a bounded function 𝑓𝑓 to be integrable on [𝑎𝑎, 𝑏𝑏] is that for
each 𝜖𝜖 > 0, there exists a partition 𝑃𝑃 of [𝑎𝑎, 𝑏𝑏] for which 𝑈𝑈(𝑓𝑓, 𝑃𝑃) − 𝐿𝐿(𝑓𝑓, 𝑃𝑃) < 𝜖𝜖.

Proof
Let ∀𝜖𝜖 > 0, ∃𝑃𝑃 , a partition of [𝑎𝑎, 𝑏𝑏] such that 𝑈𝑈(𝑓𝑓, 𝑃𝑃) − 𝐿𝐿(𝑓𝑓, 𝑃𝑃) < 𝜖𝜖.

Since 𝜖𝜖 > 0 is arbitrary, ∫𝑎𝑎 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥)𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 − ∫𝑎𝑎� 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥)𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = 0.

Thus, ∫𝑎𝑎 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥)𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 = ∫𝑎𝑎� 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥)𝑑𝑑𝑑𝑑 .

Conversely, let 𝑓𝑓 ∈ 𝑅𝑅[𝑎𝑎, 𝑏𝑏].


Let 𝜖𝜖 > 0.
There exist partitions 𝑃𝑃1 and 𝑃𝑃2 of [𝑎𝑎, 𝑏𝑏] such that

Let 𝑃𝑃 = 𝑃𝑃1 ∪ 𝑃𝑃2 .


∴ 𝑈𝑈(𝑓𝑓, 𝑃𝑃) − 𝐿𝐿(𝑓𝑓, 𝑃𝑃) ≤ 𝑈𝑈(𝑓𝑓, 𝑃𝑃1 ) − 𝐿𝐿(𝑓𝑓, 𝑃𝑃2 ) < 𝜖𝜖.
