Abstract

Complementary regularity between the integrand and integrator is a well known condition for the integral ∫0T f(r) 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]2 f(s,t) d g(s,t). In the paper, we give a new condition for the existence of the integral under the assumption that the integrator g is a Volterra covariance function. We introduce the notion of strong Hölder 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.
