First, we shall prove a general reduction theorem to the Spannenintegral of products of （generalized） Kubert functions.

Carlitz＇s theorem is a generalization of a classical result of Nielsen in 1923.

These not only generalize earlier results but also cover some recent results. For example, Beck＇s lamma is the same as Carlitz＇s result, while some results of Maier may be deduced from those of Romanoff.
