    Convergence
In summary, the given equation can be written as the sum of two integrals, one from 0 to a small value epsilon and the other from epsilon to infinity. The first integral is finite, while the second integral can be shown to also be finite using integration by parts and the comparison test. Therefore, the entire integral converges.

\(\displaystyle \int^{\infty}_{0} \frac{\log(t) \sin(t) }{t} \, dt\)

Can we say the following :

\(\displaystyle \int^{\infty}_{0} \frac{\log(t) \sin(t) }{t} \, dt=\int^{\epsilon}_{0} \frac{\log(t) \sin(t) }{t} \, dt+\int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\log(t) \sin(t) }{t} \, dt\)

1-\(\displaystyle \int^{\epsilon}_{0} \frac{\log(t) \sin(t) }{t} \, dt \leq \int^{\epsilon}_{0} \log(t) dt <\infty\)

2-\(\displaystyle \int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\log(t) \sin(t) }{t} \, dt\)

If that is correct , how to check near infinity ?

If we use integration by parts we get the following

\(\displaystyle \int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\log(t)\sin(t) }{t}\,dt=\int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\cos(t) }{t^2}\,dt-\int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\log(t)\cos(t) }{t^2}\,dt\)

\(\displaystyle \int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\cos(t) }{t^2}\,dt \leq \int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{1 }{t^2}\,dt < \infty\)

\(\displaystyle \int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\log(t)\cos(t) }{t^2}\,dt \leq \int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\sqrt{t}}{t^2}\,dt < \infty\)

so the integral converges .

What do you think guys ?

since \(\displaystyle \frac{\sin(t) }{t} \sim 1\) near zero

1-\(\displaystyle \int^{\epsilon}_{0} \frac{\log(t) \sin(t) }{t} \, dt \sim \int^{\epsilon}_{0} \log(t) dt <\infty
\)

2-\(\displaystyle \big | \int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\cos(t) }{t^2}\,dt \big | \leq \int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{1 }{t^2}\,dt < \infty\)

3-\(\displaystyle \big | \int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\log(t)\cos(t) }{t^2}\,dt \big | \leq \int^{\infty}_{\epsilon} \frac{\sqrt{t}}{t^2}\,dt < \infty\)
 

FAQ: Does the integral \int^{\infty}_{0} \frac{\log(t) \sin(t) }{t} \, dt converge?

What is convergence?

Convergence refers to the behavior of a sequence or series that approaches a specific value or limit as the number of terms increases. In other words, as more terms are added to the sequence or series, the values get closer to a particular value.

How do you prove convergence?

To prove convergence, you must show that the sequence or series has a limit. This can be done by demonstrating that the terms of the sequence or series get closer and closer to a specific value or limit as the number of terms increases. This can be shown through various mathematical techniques such as the limit comparison test, the ratio test, or the integral test.

What is the difference between absolute and conditional convergence?

Absolute convergence refers to a convergence that occurs regardless of the order in which the terms are added. On the other hand, conditional convergence occurs when the rearrangement of terms in a series can result in a different sum. This means that the order in which the terms are added can affect whether the series converges or not.

Can a series converge conditionally but not absolutely?

Yes, a series can converge conditionally but not absolutely. This occurs when the series converges but the absolute values of the terms do not converge. In other words, the series has a finite sum, but the series of absolute values diverges.

How do you disprove convergence?

To disprove convergence, you must show that the sequence or series does not have a limit. This can be done by demonstrating that the terms of the sequence or series do not get closer and closer to a specific value or limit as the number of terms increases. This can be shown through various mathematical techniques such as the divergence test, the comparison test, or the root test.
