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]

A function $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ has the property that for every $x,y\in\mathbb R$ there exists a real number $t$ (depending on $x$ and $y$) such that $0<t<1$ and $$f(tx+(1-t)y)=tf(x)+(1-t)f(y).$$ Does it imply that $$f\left(\frac{x+y}2\right)=\frac{f(x)+f(y)}2$$ for every $x,y\in\mathbb R$?

A real valued function $ f(S)$ defined on $ \mathcal{H}$ is called a quasi-limit of $ S$ if it has the following properties: If $ S\equal{}{c,c,\dots,c,\dots}$, then $ f(S)\equal{}c$; If $ s_i\geq 0$, then $ f(S)\geq 0$; $ f(S\plus{}T)\equal{}f(S)\plus{}f(T)$; $ f(ST)\equal{}f(S)f(T)$, $ f(S')\equal{}f(S)$ Prove that for every $ S$, the quasi-limit $ f(S)$ is an accumulation point of $ S$.

Let $ C$ denote the set of functions $ f(x)$, integrable (according to either Riemann or Lebesgue) on $ (a,b)$, with $ 0\le f(x)\le1$. An element $ \phi(x)\in C$ is said to be an "extreme point" of $ C$ if it can not be represented as the arithmetical mean of two different elements of $ C$. Find the extreme points of $ C$ and the functions $ f(x)\in C$ which can be obtained as "weak limits" of extreme points $ \phi_n(x)$ of $ C$. (The latter means that $ \lim_{n\to \infty}\int_a^b \phi_n(x)h(x)\,dx\equal{}\int_a^bf(x)h(x)\,dx$ holds for every integrable function $ h(x)$.)
