How is Riemann–Stieltjes integral a special case of Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral?

I don't think my understanding is completely correct and should have posted as a comment, but it has length restrictions.

  1. It seems to me that when $g$ is BV and right continuous, and $f$ is Borel measurable, $f$ does not have to be bounded. There are unbounded Lebesgue integrable functions, so the same should be true for Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral, which is just Lebesgue integral w.r.t. the signed measure $\mu_g$ on $\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R})$ induced by $g$.

  2. It should be OK for function $g$ with bounded variation. We can write $g$ as the difference of two non-decreasing functions.

  3. I don't think Riemann-Stieltjes integral requires the integrator to be non-decreasing. It might be BV or possibly an even broader class of functions. I guess the author of Wikipedia entry mentions only nondecreasing functions because s/he has CDF of a random variable in mind and wants to discuss its application in probability theory. I also have the impression that these two integrals agree whenever the Riemann-Stieltjes integral exists. (Just like the relation between the Lebesgue integral and the Riemann integral.)

  4. If these two notions agree, there's no danger of using the same notation. Otherwise, I've seen authors using prefix to distinguish different types of integrals, e.g., $(R)\int_a^b...$ for Riemann(-Stieltjes) integrals.
