fundamental theorem of calculus for Kurzweil-Henstock integral
Let the symbol denote the Kurzweil-Henstock integral. We can then give the most general version of the fundamental theorem of calculus.
Theorem.
Let and suppose the derivative exists for all . Then
The reader should note the subtle difference from the standard version. Here we do not assume anything about except that it exists. For the standard version we usually assume that is continuous
, and if we use the Lebesgue integral
we must assume that is Lebesgue integrable. Part of this theorem
is that is Kurzweil-Henstock integrable, hence no extra assumptions
are necessary.
An example of a function where the standard version has problems is the function
is differentiable everywhere, but
Which is not continuous and in fact unbounded on any interval containing zero.
