Abstract
We will deal exclusively with the integration of scalar (i.e., ℝ or ℂ)-valued functions with respect to vector measures. The general theory can be found in [36, 37, 32], [44, Ch. I II] and [67, 124], for example. For applications beyond these texts we refer to [38, 66, 80, 102, 117] and the references therein, and the survey articles [33, 68]. Each of these references emphasizes its own preferences, as will be the case with this article. Our aim is to present some theoretical developments over the past 15 years or so (see §1) and to highlight some recent applications. Due to space limitation we restrict the applications to two topics. Namely, the extension of certain operators to their optimal domain (see §2) and aspects of spectral integration (see §3). The interaction between order and positivity with properties of the integration map of a vector measure (which is defined on a function space) will become apparent and plays a central role.
