How should I compute the integral of the Cantor-Lebesgue function ∫_0^1〖F(x)〗 dm?

The integral of the Cantor-Lebesgue function is 0. This is due to the fact that the Cantor-Lebesgue function is a singular function and thus has a zero Lebesgue measure. To compute this integral, one can use the definition of the Lebesgue integral: ∫_0^1〖F(x)〗 dm = lim_{n→∞} ∑_i=1^n F(x_i)Δm_iwhere x_i are points in the interval [0,1] and Δm_i is the Lebesgue measure of the interval between them. Since the function is singular, all of the intervals between the points will have a measure of 0, so the integral will be 0.
 
A sphere as topological manifold can be defined by gluing together the boundary of two disk. Basically one starts assigning each disk the subspace topology from ##\mathbb R^2## and then taking the quotient topology obtained by gluing their boundaries. Starting from the above definition of 2-sphere as topological manifold, shows that it is homeomorphic to the "embedded" sphere understood as subset of ##\mathbb R^3## in the subspace topology.
