Does absolute convergence imply integrability?

For a measurable function $f$ on $[1,+infty)$, which is bounded on bounded sets, define $a_n=intlimits_n^n+1f dm$ for each natural number $n$. Is is true that $ f $ is integrable over $[1,+infty)$ if and only if the series $sumlimits_n=1^inftya_n$ converges absolutely?



I have done like below:



We have $sumlimits_n=1^infty|a_n|=sumlimits_n=1^infty|intlimits_n^n+1f ,dm|leq sumlimits_n=1^infty intlimits_[n,n+1)|f|,dm=sumlimits_n=1^inftyintlimits_[1,+infty)|f|chi_[n,n+1),dm=intlimits_[1,+infty)sumlimits_n=1^infty|f|chi_[n,n+1)=intlimits_[1,+infty)|f|,dm$. If $f$ is integrable, then $sumlimits_n=1^infty|a_n|<+infty$ and so $sumlimits_n=1^inftya_n$ converges absolutely.



But is the converse true? I have no answer. Would anyone please help me?

          Consider $f(x)=sin(2pi x)$. Is it integrable over $[1,infty)$? What are the $a_n$?



          For the other direction, consider $g(x)=sin(pi x)/x$. It is integrable over $[1,infty)$? What is $sum|a_n|$?

            There exists $f$ such that $a_n=0$ for all $n$ and $int_n ^n+1 |f(t)| , dt =1$ for all $n$. So convergence of $sum |a_n|$ does not impliy that $f $ is integrable. (You can take $f$ to be of the form $c(x-n-frac 1 2)$ on $(n,n+1)$.
