Let $alpha$ be continuous and increasing function on [a,b]. Given $f$ $in$ ${R_alpha }$[a,b] and $epsilon$> 0;



Then, Prove that there exist



(i) a step function $h$ on [a,b] with ${||h||_infty}$$leq$${||f||_infty}$ such that
$$intlimits_a^b {|f - h|dalpha < varepsilon }$$
(ii)a continuous function $g$ on [a,b] with ${||g||_infty}$$leq$${||f||_infty}$ such that
$$intlimits_a^b {|f - g|dalpha < varepsilon }$$
(Def:$space$${R_alpha }$[a,b]=space of all Riemann-Stieltjes integrable functions w.r.t $alpha$ on the interval [a,b])

  • For (i), try functions of the form $h(x) = frac{1}{N} lfloor N f(x) rfloor$, where $N$ is very large. Then $f$ and $h$ differ by less than $1/N$. Then modify this to be continuous for part (ii) while minimizing the change in the value of the integral.
