Integral extension with locally-integral seminorm. (English) Zbl 0787.28006
For Loomis’ finitely additive ‘one-sided completion’ integral [L. H. Loomis, Am. J. Math. 76, 168-182 (1954; Zbl 0055.101)], a new definition is given and convergence theorems are obtained. If $$B$$ is a vector lattice of real-valued functions on $$X$$ and $$I: B\to\mathbb{R}$$ linear non- negative (without any continuity assumptions), then the $$f: X\to\overline\mathbb{R}$$ in question are characterized by the existence of $$h_ n\in B$$ with $$I(| h_ n- h_ m|)\to 0$$ and $$h_ n\to f$$, $$I^*$$-locally, i.e., $$I^*(| f- h_ n|\land h)\to 0$$ for each $$0\leq h\in B$$; the set $$R_ 1(B,I)$$ of these $$f$$ is also the closure of $$B$$ in $$\overline \mathbb{R}^ X$$ with respect to Schäfke’s local integral norm $$I^*_ B$$ [F. W. Schäfke, J. Reine Angew. Math. 289, 118- 134 (1977; Zbl 0337.28011)], where $$I^*(g):=\inf\{I(h): g\leq h\in B\}$$, $$I^*_ B(g):=\sup\{I^*(g\land h): h\in B\}$$.
Generalizing results of P. Bobillo Guerrero and M. Díaz Carrillo [Arch. Math. 52, No. 3, 258-264 (1989; Zbl 0674.28005)] one has $$R_ 1(B,I)\subset B_ 0+ \{f\in R_ 1(B,I): I^*_ B(| f|)=0\}$$, $$B_ 0:=I$$-summable functions of $$B.+ C.$$ (P. Bobillo Guerrero and M. Díaz Carrillo (loc. cit.)). In the special case $$\Omega$$=(semi)ring from $$X$$, $$\mu: \Omega\to [0,\infty)$$ finitely additive, $$B=$$ real-valued stepfunctions $$h$$ with respect to $$\Omega$$, $$I(h):= \int hd\mu$$, the $$R_ 1(B,I)$$ coincides with the ‘abstract Riemann-$$\mu$$-integrable’ functions $$R_ 1(\mu,\overline\mathbb{R})$$ of the reviewer [“Integration” (1985; Zbl 0568.28009), esp. p. 70 and 199], $$I^*$$-local convergence is ‘$$\mu$$-local convergence’, the convergence theorems for $$R_ 1(\mu,\overline\mathbb{R}$$) are special cases of those obtained here for $$R_ 1(B,I)$$; if $$X\in\Omega$$, $$R_ 1(B,I)\cap\mathbb{R}^ X= L(X,\Omega,\mu,\mathbb{R})$$ of ’Dunford-Schwartz [N. Dunford and J. T. Schwartz, Linear operators. I (1958; Zbl 0084.104), esp. p. 112].
