Integrals with values in Banach spaces and locally convex spaces

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the construction and basic properties of the general Bochner integral. The approach presented here is based on the ideas from the book The Bochner Integral by J. Mikusinski where the integral is presented for functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^N$. In this article we present a more general and simplified construction of the Bochner integral on abstract measure spaces. An extension of the construction to functions with values in a locally convex space is also considered.
