Integration, chapter III, § 3. Integrals of continuous vector-valued functions

— If E is a quasi-complete Hausdorff locally convex space, then ∫fdμ∈E\int f d\mu \in E for every function f ∈ K(X;E)\mathscr{K}(X; E).

As noted at the beginning of the proof of Prop. 7, f(X) is compact and its closed convex envelope C in E is precompact, hence bounded; but since the set C is closed and bounded, it is complete by hypothesis, and it suffices to apply Prop. 7.

We shall see, in Ch. VI, §1, No. 2, other criteria for ∫fdμ\int f d\mu to belong to E, which apply in particular to the functions in K~(X;E)\widetilde{\mathscr{K}}(X; E) and not just those in K(X;E)\mathscr{K}(X; E).

Corollary 2 of Proposition 7 may be applied in the following two cases: 1° E is a Banach space; 2° E is the dual of a barreled Hausdorff locally convex space G, and E is equipped with an S\mathscr{S}-topology, where S\mathscr{S} is a covering of G by bounded subsets (TVS, III, §4, No. 2, Cor. 4 of Th. 1). For example, Cor. 2 of Prop. 7 can be applied when E is the weak dual of a Banach space, or a space of measures M(Y;C)\mathscr{M}(Y; \mathbf{C}) equipped with the vague topology.

If X = R\mathbf{R}, μ\mu is Lebesgue measure on R\mathbf{R}, and E is a Banach space, then the integral ∫fdμ\int f d\mu of a function in K(X;E)\mathscr{K}(X; E) is none other than the integral

∫−∞+∞f(x) dx \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(x)\, dx

defined in FRV, II, §2, No. 1; this follows from formula (1), and from FRV, I, §1, No. 2, Cor. of Prop. 2.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
