Limit of a function. Integration problem I have this problem:
Let $c\in \mathbb{R}$. If $\int_c^\infty f(x)dx$ converges, then $$\lim_{x\to \infty} f(x)$$ exist and is $0$. Moreover, if $f$ is monotonic, $\lim_{x\to \infty} xf(x)$ exist and is equal to $0$.
Although I can't assume that $f$ is continuous, I have tihis question:
If $F$ is a function with continuous first derivative, such that $$\lim_{x\to \infty}F(x)=L,$$ for some $L\in\mathbb{R}$. Is it true that $$\lim_{x\to \infty} F'(x)=0\;?$$
 A: It's true iff $\rm\ lim\ F\,'$ exists. Andre gave a counterexample if $\rm\ lim\ F\,'$ does not exist. Conversely: 
Theorem $\ $ If $\rm\,\ F + F\,'\!\to L\ $ as $\rm\ x\to\infty\ $ then $\rm\ F\to L,\  F\,'\!\to 0,\,\ $ by this L'Hôpital slick trick:
$$\rm \lim_{x\to\infty}\ F(x)\ =\ \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{e^x\, F(x)}{e^x}\ =\ \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{e^x\, (F(x)+F\:'(x))}{e^x}\ =\ \lim_{x\to\infty}\ (F(x)+F\:'(x)) $$
The above employs a slightly generalized form of L'Hospital's rule mentioned here.
This folklore L'Hospital trick is somewhat notorious due to the fact that the problem appeared in Hardy's classic calculus texbook A Course of Pure Mathematics, but with a less elegant solution. For example, see Landau; Jones: $\:$ A Hardy Old Problem, $\:$ Math. Magazine 56 (1983) 230-232. Below is a table of the various possibilities, with examples, where FTE = Fails To Exist.


A: Let
$$F(x)=\frac{\sin(x^2)}{x}$$
Then $\lim_{x\to\infty} F'(x)$ does not exist.
A: André already gave you a very simple example, where $\lim\limits_{x \to \infty } F(x) = 0$ but $\underset{x \to \infty }{\lim \sup}\; F'(x) = 2$ and $\underset{x \to \infty }{\lim \inf}\;  F'(x) = -2$ (since $F'(x) = 2\cos (x^2 ) - \frac{{\sin (x^2 )}}{{x^2 }}$). Modifying $F$ to $F(x) = \frac{{\sin (x^3 )}}{x}$, we moreover get an example with $\underset{x \to \infty }{\lim \sup}\;  F'(x) = \infty$ and $\underset{x \to \infty }{\lim \inf}\;  F'(x) = -\infty$ (since $F'(x)=3x\cos (x^3 ) - \frac{{\sin (x^3 )}}{{x^2 }}$). Obviously, in both examples, $F$ is not a monotone function.
Let's now give an example of a (continuously differentiable) monotone increasing function $F$ with $\lim\limits_{x \to \infty } F(x) = 1$, for which, nevertheless, $\underset{x \to \infty }{\lim \sup}\;  F'(x) = \infty$ (so, in particular, $F'(x)$ does not tend to $0$ as $x \to \infty$). We first define a continuous function $f:[0,\infty) \to [0,\infty)$ as follows: for each positive integer $n$, $f(n)=0$, $f$ is linearly increasing on the interval $\left[n,n+\frac1{2^{n+1}}\right]$, $f\left(n+\frac1{2^{n+1}}\right) = n$, $f$ is linearly decreasing on the interval $\left[n+\frac1{2^{n+1}},n+\frac1{2^n}\right]$, and $f\left(n+\frac1{2^n}\right)=0$; for any other $x$, we define $f(x)=0$. Then we have
$$
\int_0^\infty  {f(x)\,\mathrm dx}  = \sum_{n = 1}^\infty  {\int_n^{n + 2^{ - n} } {f(x)\,\mathrm dx} }  = \sum_{n = 1}^\infty  {\frac{n2^{-n}}{2}}  = \frac12\sum_{n = 1}^\infty  \frac{n}{2^n}  = 1.
$$
Now we define the function $F$ by $F(x) = \int_0^x {f(t)\,\mathrm dt}$. Then,
$$
\lim _{x \to \infty } F(x) = \lim _{x \to \infty } \int_0^x {f(t)\,\mathrm dt}  = \int_0^\infty  {f(t)\,\mathrm dt}  = 1.
$$
On the other hand, by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, $F'(x) = f(x)$. Since, for any positive integer $n$, $f\left(n+\frac1{2^{n+1}}\right) = n$, we have 
$$
\underset{x \to \infty }{\lim \sup}\; F'(x) = \underset{x \to \infty }{\lim \sup}\; f(x) = \infty .
$$
