\chapter{Properties of the Integral of a Step Function}%
\label{chap:properties-integral-step-function}
\section{\partial{Additive Property}}%
\label{sec:step-additive-property}
Let $s$ and $t$ be \nameref{sec:def-step-function}s on closed interval $[a, b]$.
Then
$$\int_a^b \left[ s(x) + t(x) \right] \mathop{dx} =
\int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx} + \int_a^b t(x) \mathop{dx}.$$
\begin{proof}
Let $s$ and $t$ be step functions on closed interval $[a, b]$.
By definition of a step function, there exists a \nameref{sec:def-partition}
$P_s$ such that $s$ is constant on each open subinterval of $P_s$.
Likewise, there exists a partition $P_t$ such that $t$ is constant on each
open subinterval of $P_t$.
Therefore $s + t$ is a step function with step partition
$$P = P_s \cup P_t = \{x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_n\},$$ the common refinement of
$P_s$ and $P_t$ with subdivision points $x_0$, $x_1$, $\ldots$, $x_n$.
$s$ and $t$ remain constant on every open subinterval of $P$.
Let $s_k$ denote the value of $s$ on the $k$th open subinterval of $P$.
Let $t_k$ denote the value of $t$ on the $k$th open subinterval of $P$.
By definition of the \nameref{sec:def-integral-step-function},
\begin{align*}
\int_a^b \left[ s(x) + t(x) \right] \mathop{dx}
& = \sum_{k=1}^n (s_k + t_k) \cdot (x_k - x_{k-1}) \\
& = \sum_{k=1}^n \left[ s_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k-1}) +
t_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k-1}) \right] \\
& = \sum_{k=1}^n s_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k-1}) +
\sum_{k=1}^n t_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k-1}) \\
& = \int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx} + \int_a^b t(x) \mathop{dx}.
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\section{\partial{Homogeneous Property}}%
\label{sec:step-homogeneous-property}
Let $s$ be a \nameref{sec:def-step-function} on closed interval $[a, b]$.
For every real number $c$, we have
$$\int_a^b c \cdot s(x) \mathop{dx} = c\int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx}.$$
\begin{proof}
Let $s$ be a step function on closed interval $[a, b]$.
By definition of a step function, there exists a \nameref{sec:def-partition}
$P = \{x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_n\}$ such that $s$ is constant on each open
subinterval of $P$.
Then $c \cdot s$ is a step function with step partition $P$.
By definition of the \nameref{sec:def-integral-step-function},
\begin{align*}
\int_a^b c \cdot s(x) \mathop{dx}
& = \sum_{k=1}^n (c \cdot s(x)) \cdot (x_k - x_{k-1}) \\
& = \sum_{k=1}^n c \cdot (s(x) \cdot (x_k - x_{k-1})) \\
& = c \sum_{k=1}^n s(x) \cdot (x_k - x_{k-1}) \\
& = c \int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx}.
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\section{\partial{Linearity Property}}%
\label{sec:step-linearity-property}
Let $s$ and $t$ be \nameref{sec:def-step-function}s on closed interval $[a, b]$.
For every real $c_1$ and $c_2$, we have
$$\int_a^b \left[ c_1s(x) + c_2t(x) \right] \mathop{dx} =
c_1\int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx} + c_2\int_a^b t(x) \mathop{dx}.$$
\begin{proof}
Let $s$ and $t$ be step functions on closed interval $[a, b]$.
Let $c_1$ and $c_2$ be real numbers.
Then $c_1 \cdot s$ and $c_2 \cdot t$ are step functions.
Then
\begin{align*}
& \int_a^b \left[ c_1s(x) + c_2t(x) \right] \mathop{dx} \\
& = \int_a^b c_1s(x) \mathop{dx} + \int_a^b c_2t(x) \mathop{dx}
& \textref{sec:step-additive-property} \\
& = c_1\int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx} + c_2\int_a^b t(x). \mathop{dx}
& \textref{sec:step-homogeneous-property}
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\section{\partial{Comparison Theorem}}%
\label{sec:step-comparison-theorem}
Let $s$ and $t$ be \nameref{sec:def-step-function}s on closed interval $[a, b]$.
If $s(x) < t(x)$ for every $x$ in $[a, b]$, then
$$\int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx} < \int_a^b t(x) \mathop{dx}.$$
\begin{proof}
Let $s$ and $t$ be step functions on closed interval $[a, b]$.
By definition of a step function, there exists a \nameref{sec:def-partition}
$P_s$ such that $s$ is constant on each open subinterval of $P_s$.
Likewise, there exists a partition $P_t$ such that $t$ is constant on each
open subinterval of $P_t$.
Let $$P = P_s \cup P_t = \{x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_n\}$$ be the common refinement
of $P_s$ and $P_t$ with subdivision points $x_0$, $x_1$, $\ldots$, $x_n$.
By construction, $P$ is a step partition for both $s$ and $t$.
Thus $s$ and $t$ remain constant on every open subinterval of $P$.
Let $s_k$ denote the value of $s$ on the $k$th open subinterval of $P$.
Let $t_k$ denote the value of $t$ on the $k$th open subinterval of $P$.
By definition of the \nameref{sec:def-integral-step-function},
\begin{align*}
\int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx}
& = \sum_{k=1}^n s_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k-1}) \\
& < \sum_{k=1}^n t_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k-1}) & \text{by hypothesis} \\
& = \int_a^b t(x) \mathop{dx}.
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\section{\partial{Additivity With Respect to the Interval of Integration}}%

Let $s$ be a \nameref{sec:def-step-function} on closed interval $[a, b]$.
Then
$$\int_a^c s(x) \mathop{dx} + \int_c^b s(x) \mathop{dx} =
\int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx} \quad\text{if}\quad a < c < b.$$
\todo{This holds for any arrangement of values $a$, $b$, and $c$.}
\begin{proof}
Let $s$ be a step function on closed interval $[a, b]$.
By definition of a step function, there exists a \nameref{sec:def-partition}
$P$ such that $s$ is constant on each open subinterval of $P$.
Let $Q = \{x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_n\}$ be a refinement of $P$ that includes $c$
as a subdivision point.
Then $Q$ is a step partition of $s$ and there exists some $0 < i < n$ such
that $x_i = c$.
Let $s_k$ denote the value of $s$ on the $k$th open subinterval of $Q$.
By definition of the \nameref{sec:def-integral-step-function},
\begin{align*}
\int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx}
& = \sum_{k=1}^n s_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k - 1}) \\
& = \sum_{k=1}^i s_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k - 1}) +
\sum_{k=i+1}^n s_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k - 1}) \\
& = \int_a^c s(x) \mathop{dx} + \int_c^b s(x) \mathop{dx}.
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\section{\partial{Invariance Under Translation}}%
\label{sec:step-invariance-under-translation}
Let $s$ be a step function on closed interval $[a, b]$.
Then
$$\int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx} =
\int_{a+c}^{b+x} s(x - c) \mathop{dx} \quad\text{for every real } c.$$
\begin{proof}
Let $s$ be a step function on closed interval $[a, b]$.
By definition of a step function, there exists a \nameref{sec:def-partition}
$P = \{x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_n\}$ such that $s$ is constant on each open
subinterval of $P$.
Let $s_k$ denote the value of $s$ on the $k$th open subinterval of $P$.
Let $c$ be a real number.
Then $t(x) = s(x - c)$ is a step function on closed interval $[a + c, b + c]$
with partition $Q = \{x_0 + c, x_1 + c, \ldots, x_n + c\}$.
Furthermore, $t$ is constant on each open subinterval of $Q$.
Let $t_k$ denote the value of $t$ on the $k$th open subinterval of $Q$.
By construction, $t_k = s_k$.
By definition of the \nameref{sec:def-integral-step-function},
\begin{align*}
\int_{a+c}^{b+c} s(x - c) \mathop{dx}
& = \int_{a+c}^{b+c} t(x) \mathop{dx} \\
& = \sum_{k=1}^n t_k \cdot ((x_k + c) - (x_{k - 1} + c)) \\
& = \sum_{k=1}^n t_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k - 1}) \\
& = \sum_{k=1}^n s_k \cdot (x_k - x_{k - 1}) \\
& = \int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx}.
\end{align*}
\end{proof}
\section{\partial{Expansion or Contraction of the Interval of Integration}}%
\label{sec:step-expansion-contraction-interval-integration}
Let $s$ be a step function on closed interval $[a, b]$.
Then
$$\int_{ka}^{kb} s \left( \frac{x}{k} \right) \mathop{dx} =
k \int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx} \quad\text{for every } k > 0.$$
\todo{This also holds for negative values of $k$.}
\begin{proof}
Let $s$ be a step function on closed interval $[a, b]$.
By definition of a step function, there exists a \nameref{sec:def-partition}
$P = \{x_0, x_1, \ldots, x_n\}$ such that $s$ is constant on each open
subinterval of $P$.
Let $s_i$ denote the value of $s$ on the $i$th open subinterval of $P$.
Let $k > 0$ be a real number.
Then $t(x) = s(x / k)$ is a step function on closed interval $[ka, kb]$
with partition $Q = \{kx_0, kx_1, \ldots, kx_n\}$.
Furthermore, $t$ is constant on each open subinterval of $Q$.
Let $t_i$ denote the value of $t$ on the $i$th open subinterval of $Q$.
By construction, $t_i = s_i$.
By definition of the \nameref{sec:def-integral-step-function},
\begin{align*}
\int_{ka}^{kb} s(x / k) \mathop{dx}
& = \int_{ka}^{kb} t(x) \mathop{dx} \\
& = \sum_{i=1}^n t_i \cdot (kx_i - kx_{i-1}) \\
& = k \sum_{i=1}^n t_i \cdot (x_i - x_{i-1}) \\
& = k \sum_{i=1}^n s_i \cdot(x_i - x_{i-1}) \\
& = k \int_a^b s(x) \mathop{dx}.
