Abstract
As the title suggests, the central idea in this thesis is the characterization of the primitive of a Kurzweil-Henstock integrable function.
Chapter 1 contains the preliminaries. It is a brief discussion of the known ideas, results and definitions which are going to be used in the succeeding chapters. Certain chapters like Chapters 4 and 5 also contain one section for preliminaries to provide easy recall for the reader.
Chapter 2 provides two versions of the characterization. The first one involves the integrand explicitly. The second version is a complete characterization of the primitive without explicit reference to the integrand. This description of the integral has also been written in closed form. The sections of Chapter 2 have been accepted for publication in Real Analysis Exchange.
Chapter 3 essentially gives a characterization of the McShane integral in m-dimensional Euclidean space. It is well-known that the Lebesgue and McShane integrals are equivalent. Although the characterizations of the Kurzweil-Henstock and the McShane integrals are very similar in form, there are major differences. For instance, the characterization for McShane gives a primitive of bounded variation. Another difference is that differentiation is defined differently for McShane.
Chapter 4 give a generalization of the characterizations obtained from Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. The main theorem can be considered as a fundamental theorem for division spaces. As this fundamental theorem covers both the Kurzweil-Henstock and McShane integrals as examples, other examples can also be given such as the AP integral and the Henstock-Stieltjes integral.
Chapter 5 deals with convergence theorems without pointwise convergence. The most crucial result is the extension to the m-dimensional case of Kurzweil's convergence theorem. These convergence theorems are also studied in relation to the convergence theorems found in Chapter 2.
