The dominated convergence theorem says that if measurable almost everywhere and for an integrable , then is integrable, , and consequently .
First derive Fatou's lemma from monotone convergence. For nonnegative , the measurable functions increase to , and . Monotone convergence therefore yields .
Now is measurable and almost everywhere, so is integrable. Apply Fatou's lemma to , which converges almost everywhere to :The last integrals are nonnegative, so they tend to zero. Finally . This argument also works for complex-valued functions.
