Integral Definitions 13. 51 Integral Definitions Idea There are many different types of integrals of interest. These integrals include the following: Abelian (see below) contour (see page 129) fractional (see page 75) improper (see below) Lebesgue (see below) loop (see page 4) Riemann (see below) Stratonovich (see page 186) Cauchy (see page 92) Feynman (see page 70) Henstock (see below) Ito (see page 186) line (see page 164) path (see page 86) stochastic (see below) surface (see page 24) Properties of Integrals Lebesgue [16] defined six properties that the integral of a bounded function should have.

6, pages 216-223. 11. Miscellaneous Applications Idea This section describes other uses of integration. Physics Let F be the force on an object in three-dimensional space. The work done in moving an object from point a to point b is defined by the line integral b w= F·ds, fa where s is an element of the path traversed from a to b. In a conservative force field, the force can be written as the gradient of a scalar potential field: F = V P. In this case, the amount of work performed is independent of the path and is given by W = PCb) - Pea).
