absolute convergence of integral and boundedness of derivative
Theorem.β Assume that we have an http://planetmath.org/node/11865absolutely converging integral
β«βaf(x)πx |
where the real function f and its derivative fβ² are continuous and fβ² additionally bounded on the interval
β[a,β).β Then
limxββf(x)=β0. | (1) |
Proof.β Ifβ c>a,β we obtain
β«caf(x)fβ²(x)dx=12c/a(f(x))2=(f(c))2-(f(a))22, |
from which
(f(c))2=(f(a))2+2β«caf(x)fβ²(x)πx. | (2) |
Using the boundedness of fβ² and the absolute convergence, we can estimate upwards the integral
β«ca|f(x)fβ²(x)|πx=β«ca|f(x)||fβ²(x)|πxβ¦ |
whence is finite and thus converges absolutely.β Hence (2) implies
i.e. exists as finite, therefore also
Antithesis:β .β It implies that there is an such that
If nowβ , then we had
This means that and consequently also would be divergent.β Since it is not true, we infer thatβ ,β i.e. that the assertion (1) is true.
