Failure of dominated convergence theorem but the result still holds(?).

114 Views Asked by At

For $x>1$ let $g (x)=(x \log x)^{-1}$ & for $\{A_n\}$ a sequence of measurable subsets of $[2,\infty)$ & $\{c_n\}$ a sequence of nonnegative numbers, we put $f_n=c_n \chi _{A_n}$.

if $\{f_n\}$ converges to $ 0 $ & for every $n $ ,$|f_n|\le g$,

prove or disprove that $\int _2 ^ {\infty}f_n dx$ converges to $ 0 $.

Here the integral of $g $ is not finite ,so we can't use the dominated convergence theorem.but the result seems to hold.

Can anyone help me with this problem? Thank you very much.

This is correct for the simple reason that $A_n\subseteq [2,t)$ where $t\log t=1/c_n$, so $\int f_n \le c_n t$ and $t\lesssim 1/(-c_n\log c_n)$.
