On the relationships between Stieltjes type integrals of Young, Dushnik and Kurzweil

Abstract: Integral equations of the form $$ x(t)=x(t_0)+\int_{t_0}^t d[A]\,x=f(t)-f(t_0)$$ are natural generalizations of systems of linear differential equations. Their main goal is that they admit solutions which need not be absolutely continuous. Up to now such equations have been considered by several authors starting with J. Kurzweil and T.H. Hildebrandt. These authors worked with several different concepts of the Stieltjes type integral like Young's (Hildebrandt), Kurzweil's (Kurzweil, Schwabik and Tvrd\'{y}), Dushnik's (H\"{o}nig) or Lebesgue's (Ashordia, Meng and Zhang). Thus an interesting question arises: what are the relationships between all these concepts? Our aim is to give an answer to this question. In addition, we present also convergence results that are new for the Young and Dushnik integrals. Let us emphasize that the proofs of all the assertions presented in this paper are based on rather elementary tools.
