An integral of Riemann type of a set function . If is a space with a finite, non-negative, non-singular measure; if , , is a totally-additive function with for ; and if is a partition of , then

and the Hellinger integral of with respect to is defined as

provided that this supremum is finite. Hellinger's integral can also be regarded as the limit over a directed set of partitions: if is a subdivision of .

If is a summable function such that is the Lebesgue integral , then the Hellinger integral can be expressed in terms of the Lebesgue integral:

E. Hellinger in [1] defined the integral for in terms of point functions.
