Hi,
I am just doing this out of curiousity.
I want to integrate 1/sqrt(x)exp(ix) dx from minus infinity to infinity.
I had a couple of ideas one was to substitute x=u^2
but then you mess up the limits and you get minus imaginary infinity.
The other idea was to use Jordan's Lemma. But as far as I know 1/sqrt(x) doesn't have a residue so it can't be applied.
How do you solve this integral then?
thank you
