One version of dominated differentiation under the integral sign is the following. Let the parameter range be open. Suppose is integrable, exists for almost every , and near each parameter value its absolute value is bounded by an integrable function of independent of . Then
This follows by applying the dominated convergence theorem to difference quotients, bounded by that same integrable function through the mean value theorem.
On any compact parameter interval , the original integrand is bounded by , using . Its first and second parameter derivatives are
Their absolute values are bounded respectively by and , both integrable on . Applying the theorem twice proves that is twice differentiable and gives
This last integral is absolutely convergent: its integrand is bounded near zero and bounded by at infinity. Substituting yields
The expression for is finite and independent of , which is all that is required.
