I totally agree. Although I added a minus sign to it, which I assume was a typo. So lets think about $\vartheta(-x)$. Since the Taylor coefficients of $\vartheta(-x)$ decay EXTREMELY FAST , I consider this as a function that is well approximated by a polynomial for a long time. ( many remainder theorems for Taylor series imply this ) This means the main behaviour of this $\vartheta(-x)$ is like $(-1)^n a_n x^n$ where n increases slowly with x. This implies that $\vartheta(-x)$ is not bounded by a polynomial and also that $\vartheta(-x)$ = 0 infinitely often. Therefore the integral diverges. Even if we consider taking the limit of x going to +oo as the limit of the sequence x_i with $\vartheta(-x_i)$ = 0. regards tommy1729 « Next Oldest | Next Newest »
