Let $X$ be a measure space, and let $\Phi,f_1,f_2,\dots$ be measurable functions such that $\int_X \Phi <\infty$ and $|f_n|\leq \Phi$ for each $n$.
If $f_n\rightarrow f$ almost everywhere, then $f$ is integrable and
\[ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \int_X f_n = \int_X f. \]

This theorem is a corollary of the Fatou-Lebesgue theorem.

A possible generalization is that if $\{f_r: r\in \mathbb{R}\}$ is a family
of measurable functions such that $|f_r|\leq |\Phi|$ for each $r\in \mathbb{R}$ and $f_r\xrightarrow[r\rightarrow 0]{} f$, then $f$ is integrable and

\[ \lim_{r\rightarrow 0} \int_X f_r = \int_X f. \]
