Let $\{f_n\}$ be an increasing sequence of nonnegative measurable functions on $E$. The monotone convergence sequence then states that:
If $f_n \rightarrow f$ pointwise almost everyhwere on $E$, then $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \int_E f_n = \int_E f$.
Why does this theorem not hold for decreasing sequences of functions? I'm baffled why it wouldn't, since I feel like everything would be symmetric in a way or whatever... Does anyone have an explicit counter example? Thanks!
Take the sequence $f_n(x)=\frac{x}{n}$ on $[0,+\infty)$
