For a bounded real function, inserting partition points increases its lower Darboux sum and decreases its upper Darboux sum. This follows interval by interval because infima increase on smaller sets while suprema decrease, and the new widths sum to the original width. A common partition refinement consequently proves s(f,D1​)≤S(f,D2​) for arbitrary two partitions.
