Dominated Convergence Theorem

In measure theory, the dominated convergence theorem is a cornerstone of Lebesgue integration. It can be viewed as a culmination of all efforts, and is a general statement about the interplay between limits and integrals.

Statement and proof of Theorem

• Statement: Suppose Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \{f_n\}} is a sequence of measurable functions such that Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_n(x) \to f(x)} a.e. x, as n goes to infinity. If $|f_{n}(x)|\leq g(x)$, where g is integrable, then

$\int |f_{n}-f|\to 0$
