The principal theorem of this paper, a generalization of a theorem given by R. H. Cameron (2), provides a means of approximating certain Wiener integrals to any desired degree of accuracy by an (n + 1)-fold Riemann integral with sufficiently large n. The generalization is in the use of a general complete orthonormal set of functions, whereas Cameron's paper used only the odd harmonic set.

Let C′ be the class of real-valued functions x(t) defined on [0, 1] and such that x(0) = 0 and which are continuous except perhaps for one left continuous jump. Let C be the class of continuous members of C′.
