Useful math stuff [ edit ] Analysis [ edit ] Fubini's theorem and Tonelli's theorem [ edit ] Let X , Y be measure spaces with measures μ , ν respectively.
Let

{\displaystyle f:X\times Y\to \mathbb {R} \cup \left\{+\infty ,-\infty \right\}}

provided one of the following criteria:
(Fubini's theorem ) The spaces X , Y are complete (all null sets are measurable), and
f
∈
L
1
(
μ
×
ν
)
{\displaystyle f\in L^{1}\left(\mu \times \nu \right)}
(Tonelli's theorem ) The spaces X , Y are σ-finite (a countable union of finite-measure sets)*, and f ≥ 0.(*) For probability spaces this is automatic.
Convergence of integrals [ edit ] Let Ω be a measure space with a measure μ .
Let fn : Ω → ℝ be a sequence of measurable functions that converges pointwise (everywhere, or μ -almost everywhere if μ is a complete measure ) to a function f : Ω → ℝ.
Then it is true that
