Function integral on ℝⁿ

Set

context $p\in \mathbb N$
definiendum $I^p: (\mathbb R^p\to\overline{\mathbb R})\to\overline{\mathbb R}$
definiendum $I^p(f):=\int_{\mathbb R^p}\ f\ \mathrm d\lambda^p$

Discussion

Because the integral above coincides with the Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral for the monotone function $F(x):=x$, we'll also denote $I^p(f)$ by $\int_{\mathbb R^p}\ f(x)\ \mathrm dx^p$ with the argument $x\in \mathbb R^p$ of $f$ becoming a dummy index.

Theorems

For $f:X\to \mathbb R$…differentiable and $f'$…bounded, we have

$ \int_a^b\dfrac{{\mathrm d}f}{{\mathrm d}x}{\mathrm d}x = f(b)-f(a) $
$ {\mathrm d}\left(\int_{v(y)}^{w(y)}\,f(x)\,{\mathrm d}x\right) = f(v(y))\,{\mathrm d}v(y)-f(w(y))\,{\mathrm d}w(y) $

For $f$ convex and

$\langle f\rangle_{[a,b]}:=\dfrac{1}{b - a}\int_a^b f(x)\,{\mathrm d}x$

$\dfrac{f(a) + f(b)}{2} \ge \langle f\rangle_{[a,b]} \ge f \left(\dfrac{a+b}{2}\right) $
