I want to prove that if
is a bounded continuous function then the sequence of Riemann sum (as the partition is getting finer and finer) converges.
My attempt:
If we can prove that Riemann sum is a Cauchy sequence (sequence as the partition is getting finer and finer), then uniqueness of limit ensures that it converges.
Let
be a sequence of partitons. Such that:
Consider a partition
and its refinement
, that is the latter is obtained by inserting more points in between the points of the former.
Let us try to obtain Cauchy criterion:
As
is coarser, we can take its norm and get an inequality:
I’m having issues in getting an upper bound for
because one of the sum goes upto
while the other upto
.
Can you please give me a hint and carry me on over this?
