integration - Are there any ways to evaluate intinfty0fracsinxxdx without using double integral?



Are there any ways to evaluate 0sinxxdx without using double integral?




I can't find any this kind of solution. Can anyone please help me? Thank you.


Answer



Here is a complex integration without the S.W. theorem. Define


f(z):=eizzResz=0(f)=lim


Now we choose the following contour (path to line-integrate the above complex function):


$$\Gamma:=[-R,-\epsilon]\cup\gamma_\epsilon\cup[\epsilon,R]\cup\gamma_R\,\,,\,\,0

With \,\displaystyle{\gamma_M:=\{z=Me^{it}\;:\;M>0\,\,,\,\,0\leq t\leq \pi\}}\,


Since our function \,f\, has no poles within the region enclosed by \,\Gamma\,, the integral theorem of Cauchy gives us


\int_\Gamma f(z)\,dz=0



OTOH, using the lemma and its corollary here and the residue we got above , we have


\int_{\gamma_\epsilon}f(z)\,dz\xrightarrow[\epsilon\to 0]{}\pi i


And by Jordan's lemma we also get


\int_{\gamma_R}f(z)\,dz\xrightarrow [R\to\infty]{}0


Thus passing to the limits \,\epsilon\to 0\,\,,\,\,R\to\infty\,


0=\lim_{\epsilon\to 0}\lim_{R\to\infty}\int_\Gamma f(z)\,dz=\int_{-\infty}^\infty\frac{e^{ix}}{x}dx-\pi i


and comparing imaginary parts in both sides of this equation (and since \,\frac{\sin x}{x}\, is an even function) , we finally get


2\int_0^\infty\frac{\sin x}{x}=\pi\Longrightarrow \int_0^\infty\frac{\sin x}{x} dx=\frac{\pi}{2}
