Question in the proof of Lebesgue's Dominated Convergence Theorem

362 Views Asked by At

In the book "Real and Complex analysis 3rd ed." by Walter Rudin,in the proof of Lebesgue's Dominated Convergence Theorem (Chapter 1, page 26), since $\left|f\right|\le g,$ and $f$ is measurable, $f\in L^1(\mu)$. since $\left|f_n-f\right|\le 2g $, then: $$\int_X{2g\,d\mu}\leq\lim_{n\to\infty}\inf\int_X{2g-\left|\,f_n-\,f\right|\,d\mu}$$ but $\left|\,f_n-\,f\right|\ge0$, why could the inequality holds?

Use Fatou lemma and the fact that $2g-|f_{n}-f|\to 2g$ a.e as $f_{n}\to f$ a.e

This is the Fatou Lemma,

Note that $\liminf_n (2 g - |f_n - f|)=2g$.
