Exercise
Determine the Riemann sum over of the staircase function
Exercise
a) Subdivide the interval in six subintervals of equal length.
b) Determine the Riemann sum of the staircase function on , which takes alternately the values and on the subdivision constructed in a).
Exercise

Exercise
We consider the function
- Determine the area of the maximal lower staircase function for for an interval partitions of the form in dependence on .
- Determine between and , for which the area of the lower maximal staircase function for for an interval partition given by is maximal. What is the value of the corresponding area?
In the situation of the preceding exercise, a natural question is how the best staircase function looks like if we allow a finer subdivision, say with two points in between. We will deal with this question in the second semester, see
exercise *****.
