Improper integral properies

80 Views Asked by At

Let $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be integrable function in every closed and bounded interval.

Assuming $ \int _{0}^{\infty}|f(t)|\,dt \ \ $ exists.

I have to prove that there exists a sequences of $x_n \in \mathbb{R}$ so that

$$\lim_{n\to\infty}x_n=\infty \quad\text{and}\quad\lim_{n\to\infty}f(x_n)=0$$

So how do I do that ?

What happen if I only know that $ \int _{0}^{\infty}f(t)\,dt \ \ $is exists and $f$ is continues function

any help will be appreciated

Thanks in advanced !!

Hint: Note that $|f|$ is also integrable. Let $I_n=\int_0^n|f(x)|\,\mathrm dx$. By assumption, $(I_n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$ is a Cauchy sequence. Therefore $\int_n^{n+1}|f(x)|\,\mathrm dx\to 0$. Conclude that you can pick a suitable $x_n\in [n,n+1]$.
