Euler Integral


Euler integration was defined by Schanuel and subsequently explored by Rota, Chen, and Klain. The Euler integral of a function f:R->R (assumed to be piecewise-constant with finitely many discontinuities) is the sum of

 f(x)-1/2[f(x_+)+f(x_-)]

over the finitely many discontinuities of f. The n-dimensional Euler integral can be defined for classes of functions R^n->R. Euler integration is additive, so the Euler integral of f+g equals the sum of the Euler integrals of f and g.
