The monotone convergence theorem states that if pointwise almost everywhere and the functions are measurable, then , allowing the value infinity.
Interpret the displayed densities as zero outside , so no undefined logarithm is evaluated there. Each is nonnegative and measurable. With ,where the last equality is integration by parts. This is finite, proving Lebesgue integrability.
The nonnegative partial sums satisfy, for ,They vanish outside the interval as well. Monotone convergence therefore givesThe series is finite by comparison with the convergent series , whose convergence follows from the integral test. Since , this finite integral proves absolute Lebesgue integrability as required.
