Generalised N-dimensional Riemann Sum


Let I=[a1,b1]××[aN,bN] be an N-cell in N. For each j=1,,N, let aj=tj,0<<tj,N=bj be a partitionMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath Pj of [aj,bj]. We define a partition P of I as

P:=P1××PN

Each partition P of I generates a subdivision of I (denoted by (Iν)ν) of the form

Iν=[t1,j,t1,j+1]××[tN,k,tN,k+1]

Let f:UM be such that IU, and let (Iν)ν be the corresponding subdivision of a partition P of I. For each ν, choose xνIν. Define

S(f,P):=νf(xν)μ(Iν)

As the Riemann sum of f corresponding to the partition P.

A partition Q of I is called a refinement of P if PQ.
