Near zero, , so is comparable to . The power integral test shows that the integral near zero is finite exactly when .
For the tail, proves integrability when . To prove necessity, take the disjoint intervalsOn each, , and . Therefore with . The p-series diverges when , proving that the absolute tail integral diverges in that range.
Combining the two conditions,For , the tail improper integral converges conditionally by the Dirichlet test for improper integrals, but that does not give Lebesgue integrability.
