Let $ \{ f_n \}$ be a sequence of Lebesgue-integrable functions on $ [0,1]$ such that for any Lebesgue-measurable subset $ E$ of $ [0,1]$ the sequence $ \int_E f_n$ is convergent. Assume also that $ \lim_n f_n\equal{}f$ exists almost everywhere. Prove that $ f$ is integrable and $ \int_E f\equal{}\lim_n \int_E f_n$. Is the assertion also true if $ E$ runs only over intervals but we also assume $ f_n \geq 0 ?$ What happens if $ [0,1]$ is replaced by $ [0,\plus{}\infty) ?$ [i]J. Szucs[/i]
