Abstract

This paper studies absolute integrability for functions with values in semi- normed spaces and in locally convex topological vector spaces (LCTVS). We introduce an \emph{upper-integral} approach (based on a ρ\rho-variational measure μρ\mu_{\rho}) to define the spaces Uρp\mathcal{U}^p_{\rho} of upper integrable functions and investigate their functional-analytic properties. The main contributions are: \begin{itemize} \item the precise construction of the ρ\rho-upper-integrability spaces Uρp(A;X)\mathcal{U}^p_{\rho}(A;X) (and their Fr\'echet analogues), together with the natural semi-norms Uρp\|\cdot\|_{\mathcal{U}^p_{\rho}}; \item measure-style inequalities adapted to the variational measure μρ\mu_{\rho} (monotone continuity for ascending sets, Fatou-type lemma, and Chebyshev inequality) within the ρ\rho-upper-integral framework; \item functional-analytic results: sequential completeness of Uρp([a,b];X)\mathcal{U}^p_{\rho}([a,b];X) when XX is sequentially complete (semi-normed case), and sequential completeness of Up([a,b];X)\mathcal{U}^p([a,b];X) when XX is a sequentially complete Fr\'echet space; and \item the closedness of the absolutely integrable subspace Lρp([a,b];X)L^p_{\rho}([a,b];X) inside Uρp([a,b];X)\mathcal{U}^p_{\rho}([a,b];X) (hence Lp([a,b];X)L^p([a,b];X) is a closed Fr\'echet subspace of Up([a,b];X)\mathcal{U}^p([a,b];X) under the usual hypotheses). \end{itemize}
