Beppo Levi's theorem, is this assertion correct?












3












$begingroup$


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.

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.

      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 $f_n$.

              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 $f_n$.

              @Bafforasta Then you'd need extra assumptions. As it is now the statement is not true.

              @Mindlack I know the statement in the OP is not the MCT that's why I said that it missed one assumption, i.e. monotonicity. The reason being the name Beppo Levi is associated with the MCT so I made the link.
