Im currently busy with Measure Theory and noticed that the main theorems that I want to use, require the non-negativity condition.
-
Fatou's Lemma has the condition that we need a sequence $\{f_n\}$ of non-negative measurable functions.
-
and Lebesgue Dominated Convergence Theorem a sequence $\{f_n\}$ of measurable functions such that $|f_n| < g$ which will imply $g – |f_n|$ is non-negative.
i) Is it correct that in order to continue with any proof, non-negativity is critical?
ii) According to me, if a sequence is integrable or measurable, it does not satisfy this condition. Is this correct?
iii) I only have $f_n < g$ but it does not mean $g – f_n$ is non-negative.
Apologies, I do not want to state too much as this is part of an assignment.
I know how to answer my questions depending on the non-negativity condition.
What might I be missing that could also imply a function/sequence is non-negative?
Thank you!
