An integral on a locally compact Hausdorff semigroup ς is a non-trivial, positive, linear functional μ on the space of continuous real-valued functions on ς with compact supports. If ς has the property: (A) for each pair of compact sets C, D of S, the set is compact; then, whenever and a ∈ S, the function fa defined by is also in . An integral μ on a locally compact semigroup S with the property (A) is said to be right invariant if for all j ∈ and all a ∈ S.
