Proposition 11.4.2. Let $[a, b] \subset \real$, $E_{1}, E_{2}, H$ be locally convex spaces, and $E_{1} \times E_{2} \to H$ with $(x, y) \mapsto xy$ be a continuous bilinear map, and $G \in BV([a, b]; E_{2})$.

For each continuous seminorm $\rho$ on $E_{1}$ and $f: [a, b] \to E_{1}$, define

\[[f]_{u, \rho}= \sup_{x \in [a, b]}\rho(f(x))\]

Let $\net{f}\subset RS([a, b], G)$ such that:

  1. For each continuous seminorm $\rho$ on $E_{1}$, $[f_{\alpha} - f]_{u, \rho}\to 0$.

  2. $\lim_{\alpha \in A}\int_{a}^{b} f_{\alpha} dG$ exists.

then $f \in RS([a, b], G)$ and $\int_{a}^{b} f dG = \lim_{\alpha \in A}\int_{a}^{b} f_{\alpha} dG$. In particular,

  1. If $H$ is complete, then condition (b) may be omitted.

  2. If $H$ is sequentially complete and $A = \nat^{+}$, then condition (b) may be omitted.

Proof. Let $(P = \seqfz{x_j}, c = \seqf{c_j}) \in \scp_{t}([a, b])$, then

\begin{align*}\rho\paren{S(P, c, f, G) - \lim_{\alpha \in A}\int_a^b f_\alpha dG}&\le \rho(S(P, c, f - f_{\alpha}, G)) \\&+ \rho\paren{\int_a^b f_\alpha dG - \lim_{\alpha \in A}\int_a^b f_\alpha dG}\\&+ \rho\paren{S(P, c, f_\alpha, G) - \int_a^b f_\alpha dG}\end{align*}

Let $\rho$ be a continuous seminorm on $H$, and $[\cdot]_{1}$ and $[\cdot]_{2}$ be continuous seminorms on $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ such that $\rho(xy) \le [x]_{1}[y]_{2}$ for all $(x, y) \in E_{1} \times E_{2}$.

Let $\eps > 0$, then by assumption (a) and (b), there exists $\alpha \in A$ such that:

  1. $[f - f_{\alpha}]_{1} < \eps/(3[G]_{\text{var}, 2})$.

  2. $\rho\paren{\int_a^b f_\alpha dG - \lim_{\alpha \in A}\int_a^b f_\alpha dG}< \eps/3$.

Since $f_{\alpha} \in RS([a, b], G)$, there exists $P_{0} \in \scp([a, b])$ such that if $P \ge P_{0}$,

  1. $\rho\paren{S(P, c, f_\alpha, G) - \int_a^b f_\alpha dG}< \eps/3$.

Thus for any $(P, c) \in \scp_{t}([a, b])$ with $P \ge P_{0}$,

\[\rho\paren{S(P, c, f, G) - \lim_{\alpha \in A}\int_a^b f_\alpha dG}< \eps\]
