Remark 24.3.1.label The construction of the Lebesgue integral using positive/negative and real/imaginary parts, and the deduction of properties from this definition both appear cumbersome. This comes from the lack of usage of its linearity on integrable simple functions. A more functional analytic approach will use this linearity and the density of simple functions to construct the integral. This is the route through which the Bochner integral will be presented.
