Does $f_n to f$ pointwisely imply $int f_n to int f$ for conditionally Riemann integrable functions?

Let $f_n:mathbb{R}^ntomathbb{R}$ be a sequence of conditionally (improper) Riemann integrable functions that pointwisely converges to $f:mathbb{R}^ntomathbb{R}$ which is also conditionally Riemann integrable. Does $int f_n to int f$? If they were absolutely Riemann integrable or Lebesgue integrable, it would be true by the dominated convergence theorem. I'd like to know it is also true (with some additional conditions) for conditionally converging integrals.

          It's not true, even for absolutely Riemann integrable functions as you stated.



          Take $$f_n = n1_{left(0,frac{1}{n}right]}$$
          then $f_n to f$ pointwise with $$f equiv 0$$



          But $$int f_n = 1 notto 0 = int f$$



          You cannot use dominated convergence theorem here although absolutely riemann integrability… why?

          • How about $0<int |f| <infty$? Can this be a sufficient condition? Intuitively, this may prohibit accumulation of the mass of $f_n$ in an infinitely small region.

          • OFC not… take $$tilde{f_n} = 1_{[0,1]} + f_n$$ then $$ tilde{f} = 1_{[0,1]}$$ and so your condition holds but still $$int tilde{f_n} = 2 notto 1 = int tilde{f}$$
