Can anybody please show me an example of a convergent sequence of real valued functions of a real variable where the integral of the limit of the sequence is different than the limit of the integrals of functions in the sequence ?

Thank you

Try a sequence where convergence is not uniform
 
[tex]\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty } \left( \int _{0}^{1}\!{x}^{n} \left( 1-x<br /> \right) \left( n+1 \right) \left( n+2 \right) {dx} \right)[/tex]
 
So the integral of the limit is zero and the limit of the integrals is 1.
Thank you g_edgar
 
If we were taking the Lebesgue integral on this sequence, we would also have the same result, right?
