A useful differentiation theorem says: if is integrable in , differentiable in for almost every , and on a neighborhood of each parameter value the derivative is bounded in absolute value by one integrable function of , then the integral is differentiable and its derivative is the integral of . The proof applies dominated convergence to difference quotients, bounded by that same majorant by the mean value theorem.
Fix and choose . For ,The first part is integrable by part (i). The second is integrable by the permitted hypothesis for ; alternatively exponential decay dominates its polynomial and logarithmic factors. The theorem therefore applies locally at every , giving
