Beppo Levi's theorem, is this assertion correct?
$begingroup$
My notes report the following assertion for the theorem:
Beppo Levi's Theorem: Let $E$ be a measurable set and ${ f_n(x)}$ a sequence of integrable functions on E, such that $limlimits_{ntoinfty} f_n(x) = f(x)$ (pointwise convergence) almost everywhere on E, and $f_n(x)leq f(x)$. Then $f(x)$ is integrable on E and $limlimits_{ntoinfty} intlimits_E f_n(x) = intlimits_E f(x)$
Is this correct? Cause my book reports multiple versions of the theorem, but not this one.

It should be only $limlimits_{ntoinfty} f_n(x) = f(x)$ without "for every $n$" because $n$ is already in the limit sign.

First this theorem is wrong
Consider $E = mathbb R$, $f=0$ and $f_n = -chi_{[n,n+1]}$. Where $chi_{[n,n+1]}$ is the indicator function of the interval $[n,n+1]$.
They satisfy the hypothesis, but the conclusion doesn't hold as
$$ -1 = int_{mathbb R} f_n neq int_{mathbb R} f = 0$$
while $(f_n)$ converges pointwise to the always vanishing function $f$.
Second this would more related to dominated convergence theorem
See Dominated convergence theorem if the hypothesis would be correctly set.

$begingroup$
The theorem is usually known as the monotone convergence theorem and comes with an extra requirement that
$$
f_1(x)le f_2(x)ledots le f(x)
$$
for almost every $x$. Other than this the other parts of your statement is correct.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
My notes report that the classical statement requires that $f_1(x) < f_2(x) < dots < f_n(x) < dots$ but it can be proved not to be necessary... Isn't that right?

That’s not the monotone convergence theorem. There is no assumption on the sequence $f_n$.
