Varying definition of monotone convergence












1












$begingroup$


My current lecture states the theorem of monotone convergence:




Let $(X, mathcal{E}, mu)$ a measure space and $varphi_n: X
rightarrow mathbb{R}$
an increasing sequence of $mu$-integrable
functions with:



$$exists M in mathbb{R}: forall n in mathbb{N}:
int_Xvarphi_n,dmu leq M$$



Then $varphi := lim varphi_n: X rightarrow overline{mathbb{R}}$
is $mu$-integrable with:



$$int_X varphi,dmu = lim_{n rightarrow infty} varphi_n,dmu$$




Note: A function $f: X rightarrow mathbb{R}$ is called $mu$-integrable iff $int_X|f|,dmu < infty$.



Wikipedia states:




Let $(X, mathcal{E}, mu)$ be a measure space. For a pointwise
non-decreasing sequence of $mathcal{E}$-measurable non-negative
functions $f_k: X rightarrow [0, infty]$ consider the pointwise
limit $$f := lim_{krightarrowinfty} f_k$$ Then $f$ is
$mathcal{E}$-measurable with:



$$ lim_{krightarrowinfty} int_X f_k, dmu = int_X f,dmu$$




Now I'm a little bit confused my lecture doesn't require the functions of the sequence to be non-negative but introduces the extra upper bound. What is the difference here?



The Wikipedia definition allows it to set the integral of the limit equal to the limit of the integrals. The lecture definition permits this only under the condition, that the sequence is bounded. Is this really required?

Since $varphi_1$ is assumed to be $mu$-integrable, we have
$$
int_X varphi_1^- dmu <infty,
$$

where $f^-(x) := max{0,-f(x)}$ denotes the function's negative part. We can consider instead the sequence
$psi_n:= varphi_n+varphi_1^-$. Obviously, we have $psi_1=varphi_1^+ge 0$ and since $varphi_n$ is increasing, $psi_nge0$ for all $ninBbb N$.



Since $varphi_n to varphi$, we have $psi_nto psi = varphi + varphi_1^-$. By the usual monotone convergence theorem, we can deduce
$$
int_X psi, dmu = lim_{ntoinfty} int_X psi_n ,dmu
$$

which means that
$$
int_X varphi, dmu + int_X varphi_1^-, dmu = lim_{ntoinfty} int_X varphi_n + varphi_1^-,dmu
$$

can we can subtract $int_X varphi_1^- ,dmu$ from both sides to get
$$
int_X varphi, dmu = lim_{ntoinfty} int_X varphi_n ,dmu.
$$



I don't see why you'd need the bound $int_X varphi_n dmu<M$ at all.

Since $varphi_1$ is assumed to be $mu$-integrable, we have
$$
int_X varphi_1^- dmu <infty,
$$

where $f^-(x) := max{0,-f(x)}$ denotes the function's negative part. We can consider instead the sequence
$psi_n:= varphi_n+varphi_1^-$. Obviously, we have $psi_1=varphi_1^+ge 0$ and since $varphi_n$ is increasing, $psi_nge0$ for all $ninBbb N$.



Since $varphi_n to varphi$, we have $psi_nto psi = varphi + varphi_1^-$. By the usual monotone convergence theorem, we can deduce
$$
int_X psi, dmu = lim_{ntoinfty} int_X psi_n ,dmu
$$

which means that
$$
int_X varphi, dmu + int_X varphi_1^-, dmu = lim_{ntoinfty} int_X varphi_n + varphi_1^-,dmu
$$

can we can subtract $int_X varphi_1^- ,dmu$ from both sides to get
$$
int_X varphi, dmu = lim_{ntoinfty} int_X varphi_n ,dmu.
$$



I don't see why you'd need the bound $int_X varphi_n dmu<M$ at all.
