Proof that bounded right continuous functions are integrable.












0












$begingroup$


I am reading Davie's book "One parameter Semigroups", on page 16 in the proof that "weak semigroups" are also "strong semigroups" it claims that for a right continuous locally bounded function $g:mathbb{R}rightarrowmathbb{R}$, the integral



$$ varepsilon^{-1} int_0^varepsilon g(t) dt $$ converges.



I am assuming that since it is for $varepsilon approx 0$ then the same would be true for a general interval of integration $[a,b]$ if we assume $g$ bounded instead of locally bounded. If it is not, then the main question is why, under the hypotesis in bold text, that integral converges.



I am also assuming it refers to Riemman integrability.



Note: The book works with a specific function but as far as I am concerned the only hypothesis neccesary are those written above. In case the claim is not true, counterexample needed, then I would edit the question to include the particular functions used.

          Since $g$ is right continuous at $0$, for every $varepsilon>0$ there exists $delta>0$ such that $|g(y)-g(0)| leq varepsilon$ when $0leq yleq delta$.



          Then in particular, for $0leq hleq delta$, the triangle inequality implies
          $$
          left| h^{-1}int_0^h (g(t) - g(0)),dt right|
          leq h^{-1} int_0^h |g(t)-g(0)|,dt
          leq h^{-1}int_0^h varepsilon = varepsilon.
          $$



          This means that, under these hypotheses,
          $$
          lim_{hto 0^+} h^{-1} int_0^h g(t),dt = g(0).
          $$



          Does this answer your question?



          EDIT: I think I misunderstood. You want to see that bounded right-continuous functions are Riemann-integrable. I don't know immediately how to prove this.
