Content:

Let $X$ be a measure space. If $\Phi$ is a measurable function with
$\int_X \Phi< \infty$, and if $f_1, f_2,\dots$ is a sequence of measurable functions such that $|f_n|\leq \Phi$ for each $n$, then
\[g=\liminf_{n\rightarrow\infty} f_n \;\;\textnormal{and}\;
h=\limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty} f_n\]
are both integrable, and
\[-\infty < \int_X g \leq \liminf_{n\rightarrow\infty}\inf_X f_n \leq
\limsup_{k\rightarrow\infty}\int_X f_n \leq \int_X h < \infty.\]
