TITLE: Counterexample for Interchange of Limits in integration
QUESTION [8 upvotes]: If $f_n$ converges to $f$ uniformly in $\mathbb{R}$, then 
\begin{equation*}
\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_a^b f_n(x)\,dx =\int_a^b f(x)\,dx
\end{equation*}
but it's not true in general that 
\begin{equation*}
\lim_{n\to\infty }\int_{-\infty}^\infty f_n(x)\,dx =\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x) \, dx.
\end{equation*}
I cannot think of any counterexample.

REPLY [14 votes]: Take $f_n = {1 \over 2n} 1_{[-n,n]}$, then $f_n \to 0$ uniformly, but
$\int f_n = 1, \int f = 0$.
