Reverse Fatou's Lemma/Integrable Functions

Theorem

Let $\struct {X, \Sigma, \mu}$ be a measure space.

Let $\sequence {f_n}_{n \mathop \in \N} \in \LL^1$, $f_n: X \to \R$ be a sequence of $\mu$-integrable functions.

There is believed to be a mistake here, possibly a typo. In particular: $f_n \in \LL^1$ for each $n$ You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by reviewing it, and either correcting it or adding some explanatory material as to why you believe it is actually correct after all.

If you would welcome a second opinion as to whether your work is correct, add a call to {{Proofread}} the page.

Let $\ds \limsup_{n \mathop \to \infty} f_n: X \to \overline \R$ be the pointwise limit superior of the $f_n$.

Suppose that there exists an $\mu$-integrable $f: X \to \R$ such that for all $n \in \N$, $f_n \le f$ pointwise.

Then:

$\ds \limsup_{n \mathop \to \infty} \int f_n \rd \mu \le \int \limsup_{n \mathop \to \infty} f_n \rd \mu$

where:

the integral sign denotes $\mu$-integration

the right hand side limit inferior is taken in the extended real numbers $\overline \R$.
