Extract

Hobson has given a proof of this theorem in its fullest generality. The present note gives an alternative for part of Hobson's argument. The theorem may be stated in two forms. If f(x) is a function of x, monotone when a ≤ x ≤ b, and φ(x) is integrable over the same range, then

where a ≤ X ≤ b,

(ii) the same holds with a < X < b except in some trivial cases where f(x) is constant in the open interval a < x < b. The form (ii) is not mentioned by Hobson.
