Counterexample for the monotone convergence theorem
$begingroup$
Do you have a counterexample for the monotone convergence theorem when you omit the hypothesis that the sequence is increasing?
I was thinking about the example where the sequence $f_n$ would approach $f$ as $frac {sin(x)} x$ do towards $0$. It appears that the integrals are equal, isn't it?

Well here we are talking about measure and integration. This theorem comes with Fatou's Lemma and Dominated convergence theorem.

Take $f_n(x)=frac{1}{n}boldsymbol 1_{[0,n]}$. You have that $$lim_{nto infty }f_n(x)=0,$$ but $$lim_{nto infty }int_{mathbb R} f_n=1.$$

The problem it's $xmapsto frac{sin(x)}{x}$ is not Lebesgue integral on $mathbb R$ (even if it's Riemann integrable). Now, if a sequence $(f_n)$ is Cauchy sequence in $L^1$, then it's limit is in $L^1$. Therefore, there are no sequence $(f_n)$ that converges to $f(x)=frac{sin(x)}{x}$ in $L^1$. @MarineGalantin
