Helly-Bray theorem (Theorem)

Let $ F,F_1,F_2,\dots$ be distribution functions. If $ F_n$ converges weakly to $ F$, then

$\displaystyle \int_\mathbb{R} g(x)dF_n(x) \xrightarrow[n\rightarrow\infty]{} \int_\mathbb{R} g(x)dF(x)$
for each continuous bounded function $ g:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$.

Remark. The integrals involved are Riemann-Stieltjes integrals.
