The theorem and the proof above is from Rudin.
I have a question about the last part of the proof.
For the inequality $sum_i in A(M_i^*-m^*_i)Deltaalpha_i+sum_i in B(M_i^*-m^*_i)Deltaalpha_i le epsilon[alpha(b) - alpha(a)]+2Kdelta$, I understand that the second term in the right side is made so because $M_i^*-m^*_ile2K$ for $iin B$ and $sum_i in BDeltaalpha_i<delta$ as proved in the proof. However, as for the first term in the right side of the inequality, How do we know that $alpha(b)$ and $-alpha(a)$ terms are in $sum_i in A Delta alpha_i$? $A$ might not contain $1$ and $n$ so that $Deltaalpha(x_n)=alpha(b) - alpha(x_n-1)$ and $Deltaalpha(x_1)=alpha(x_1)-alpha(a)$ are not a part of $sum_i in A Delta alpha_i$.
Thank you in advance!

What is $alpha$? Is it an increasing function?

Yes. According to Rudin, $alpha$ is a monotonically increasing function on $[a, b]$ which is bounded.

Each $M_i^*-m_i^*ge0$ and $Deltaalpha_ige0$ as $alpha_igealpha_i-1$.
Also $M_i^*-m_i^*leepsilon$ for $iin A$. Therefore
$$sum_iin A(M_i^*-m_i^*)Deltaalpha_ileepsilonsum_iin A
Deltaalpha_i.$$
But
$$sum_iin ADeltaalpha_ilesum_i=1^nDeltaalpha_i=alpha(b)-alpha(a)$$
as $Deltaalpha_ige0$ for $inotin A$. Putting this together
gives the given bound.

Since $M_i - m_i geqslant 0$ (supremum minus infimum) and $alpha$ is increasing we have
$$sum_i in A(M_i-m_i) Delta alpha_i leqslant sum_i =1^n(M_i-m_i) Delta alpha_i leqslant epsilon[alpha(b) - alpha(a)]$$
