On the existence of Pettis integrable functions which are not Birkhoff integrable

Abstract:

Let $X$ be a weakly Lindelöf determined Banach space. We prove that if $X$ is non-separable, then there exist a complete probability space $(\Omega ,\Sigma ,\mu )$ and a bounded Pettis integrable function $f:\Omega \longrightarrow X$ that is not Birkhoff integrable; when the density character of $X$ is greater than or equal to the continuum, then $f$ is defined on $[0,1]$ with the Lebesgue measure. Moreover, in the particular case $X=c_{0}(I)$ (the cardinality of $I$ being greater than or equal to the continuum) the function $f$ can be taken as the pointwise limit of a uniformly bounded sequence of Birkhoff integrable functions, showing that the analogue of Lebesgue’s dominated convergence theorem for the Birkhoff integral does not hold in general.
