Suppose $[a,b]$ is a compact interval of $mathbb{R}$ and $f:[a,b]tomathbb{R}$ be integrable in the Riemann sense. Then, by Lebesgue's criterion, $f$ is bounded on $[a,b]$ and it's set of discontinuities has Lebesgue measure zero.



Now suppose $tilde{f}:[a,b]tomathbb{R}$ is a new function built by changing the value of $f$ in a Lebesgue measure zero subset of $[a,b]$. Since $tilde{f}$ remains bounded and it's set of discontinuities has still Lebesgue measure zero, we know that $tilde{f}$ is Riemann integrable.



Is it true that $$int_{a}^{b}f=int_{a}^{b}tilde{f}qquad ?$$

    One can change the value of a continuous function on a set of measure zero in such a way that the new function is continuous nowhere.

  • If you modify the zero function to take the value $1$ on each rational input, the Riemann upper and lower sum will always be $b-a$ and $0$, respectively - no convergence

  • You could say that if $int f$ and $int tilde f$ exist and $tilde f$ differs from $f$ only on a Lebesgue zero set, then the intergrals are equal.
