Lebesgue Integration is a mathematical technique introduced by Henri Lebesgue, surpassing the Riemann method in handling functions with discontinuities or complex behaviors. It measures the size of sets in the function's range, enabling integration of functions like the Dirichlet function and the characteristic function of rationals. Its applications extend to quantum mechanics for calculating probabilities and is fundamental in real analysis and differential equations.
