An integral of Lebesgue type either of a function with values in a linear topological space with respect to a scalar measure, or of a scalar function with respect to a measure with values in a vector space. Here the limit processes by which the integral is defined are taken in the sense of the strong topology. Examples of strong integrals are:

1) the Bochner integral of a vector-valued function;

2) the Daniell integral, if the values of the integrand belong to a -complete vector lattice;

3) the integral , giving the spectral decomposition of a self-adjoint operator acting on a Hilbert space (cf. Spectral decomposition of a linear operator).

For the strong integral of scalar functions with respect to a vector measure, the values of the measure, in many cases, are assumed to belong to a semi-ordered vector space (cf. Semi-ordered space).
