Hellinger integral
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
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.
