This book offers to the reader a self-contained treatment and systematic exposition of the real-valued theory of a nonabsolute integral on measure spaces. It is an introductory textbook to Henstock–Kurzweil type integrals defined on abstract spaces. It contains both classical and original results that are accessible to a large class of readers. It is widely acknowledged that the biggest difficulty in defining a Henstock–Kurzweil integral beyond Euclidean spaces is the definition of a set of measurable sets which will play the role of "intervals" in the abstract setting. In this book the author shows a creative and innovative way of defining "intervals" in measure spaces, and prove many interesting and important results including the well-known Radon–Nikodým theorem. Contents: A Nonabsolute Integral on Measure Spaces: PreliminariesExistence of a Division and the H-IntegralSimple Properties of the H-IntegralThe Absolute H-Integral and the McShane-Type Integrals: The Absolute H-Integral and the M-IntegralThe H-Integral and the Lebesgue IntegralThe Davies Inetgral and the Davies-McShane IntegralFurther Results of the H-Integral: A Necessary and Sufficient Condition for H-IntegrabilityGeneralised Absolute Continuity and EquiintegrabilityThe Controlled Convergence TheoremThe Radon–Nikodým Theorem for the H-integral: The Main TheoremDescriptive Definition of H-integralHenstock Integration in the Euclidean SpaceHarnack Extension and Convergence Theorems for the H-Integral: The H-Integral on Metric SpacesHarnack Extension for the H-IntegralThe Category ArgumentAn Improved Version of the Controlled Convergence Theorem Readership: Graduate students and researchers interested in analysis. Keywords: Henstock-Kurzweil Type Integral;Generalized Intervals;Nonabsolute Integration;Measure Spaces;Locally Compact Hausdorff Space;Radon-Nikodym Theorem;Controlled Convergence Theorem;Harnack ExtensionReview: Key Features: To our knowledge there is no book on integration theory whose setting is measure spaces with a topological structureThe theory is developed in a progressive and elementary manner in that the fundamental properties are first established before further results are proved. That way, even though the setting is abstract, this book is accessible to any undergraduate who has done an advanced calculus courseThe key idea behind each original concept is always explained in an intuitive manner before the formal definitions and results are presented in detail
