Les fn a sequence of measurable function such that |fn|≤1 for all n.
1) Prove that lim supn→∞∫fn≤∫lim supn→∞fn
2) Does this inequality hold if supposed fn≥0 but no necessarily bounded ?
My try
I set fn=f+n+f−n where f+n(x)=max{0,fn(x)} and f−n=min{0,−f(x)}. Then
lim supn→∞∫fn=lim supn→∞∫f+n−f−n≤lim supn→∞∫f+n+lim supn→∞∫(−f−n)=lim supn→∞∫f+n−lim infn→∞∫f−n≤Fatoulim supn→∞∫f+n−∫lim infn→∞f−n=lim supn→∞∫f+n+∫lim supn→∞(−f−n)
but I can't conclude.
For 2) I'm sure it's wrong, but I can't find a counter example.
Answer
Question 1: First of all: If you consider the Lebesgue measure on (R,B(R)), then your claim is not correct. Just consider
fn(x):=1[n,n+1](x),
then
lim supn→∞∫fn(x)dx=1>0=∫lim supn→∞fn(x)dx.
Now if you restrict the Lebesgue measure to [0,1], i.e.
lim supn→∞∫[0,1]fn(x)dx≤∫[0,1]lim supn→∞fn(x)dx,
then this inequality follows from Fatou's lemma applied to the non-negative sequence gn(x):=1−fn(x).
Question 2: No, this inequality is, in general, not satisfied if fn is not bounded. Consider
fn(x):=n1[0,1/n](x).
Remark: More generally, one can show the following statement
Let (X,A,μ) be a measure space. If (fn)n∈N is a sequence of measurable functions such that fn≤g for some g∈L1(μ), then lim supn→∞∫fndμ≤∫lim supn→∞fndμ.
