In mathematics, Fubini's theorem on differentiation, named after Guido Fubini, is a result in real analysis concerning the differentiation of series of monotonic functions. It can be proven by using Fatou's lemma and the properties of null sets.[1]

Statement

Assume I is an interval and that for every natural number k, fk:I is an increasing function. If,

s(x):=k=1fk(x)

exists for all xI, then for almost any xI, the derivatives exist and are related as:[1]

s(x)=k=1fk(x).

In general, if we don't suppose fk is increasing for every k, in order to get the same conclusion, we need a stricter condition like uniform convergence of k=1nfk(x) on I for every n.[2]
