Abstract

Complementary regularity between the integrand and integrator is a well known condition for the integral 0Tf(r)dg(r)\int_0^T f(r) \, \mathrm{d} g(r) to exist in the Riemann-Stieltjes sense. This condition also applies to the multi-dimensional case, in particular the 2D integral [0,T]2f(s,t)dg(s,t)\int_{[0, T]^2} f(s,t) \, \mathrm{d} g(s,t). In the paper, we give a new condition for the existence of the integral under the assumption that the integrator gg is a Volterra covariance function. We introduce the notion of strong H\"{o}lder bi-continuity, and show that if the integrand possess this property, the assumption on complementary regularity can be relaxed for the Riemann-Stieltjes sums of the integral to converge.
