Denjoy Integral

A type of Integral which is an extension of both the Riemann Integral and the Lebesgue Integral. The original Denjoy integral is now called a Denjoy integral ``in the restricted sense,'' and a more general type is now called a Denjoy integral ``in the wider sense.'' The independently discovered Peron Integral turns out to be equivalent to the Denjoy integral ``in the restricted sense.''
