Integrating sine where argument goes to infinity.

After some integration, i am getting a form e^{i \alpha\phi+i\beta\phi\sin(\phi-\phi')-i\gamma\sin\phi}, where ##\alpha, \beta, \gamma## are constants. Now i want to apply the limit where ##\phi ## ranges from 0 to ##\infty ## (ya, in the argument of sine we will encounter ##\infty ## which is exactly my problem). How can i do that?

What's the original problem? We need to see a context. Please, post it.
 
Okay. i am trying to derive a dispersion relation in magnetized plasma with kinetic approach. By the by i am taking only two terms, just forget about the last term in the above equation. We will encounter a term##I=
\int_0^\infty cos(\phi-\phi')e^{g_1(\phi')}\,d\phi'\\## where ##g_1(\phi')= i \alpha \phi'+i\beta sin(\phi-\phi')##. Differentiating ##g_1(\phi')## with respect to ##\phi'## and then substituting back into ##I_1## will give
##I_1=\alpha\int_0^\infty e^{g_1(\phi') d\phi'}+ \gamma\int_0^\infty \frac{dg_1(\phi')}{d\phi'}e^{g_1(\phi')}d\phi'##. It is the second term that causes trouble. From second term, ##\frac{dg_1(\phi')}{d\phi'}e^{g_1(\phi')}d\phi= d(e^{g_1(\phi')})##. So ##I_1= firstterm + \gamma\int_0^\infty d(e^{g_1(\phi')})##. Now, i think, you can make sense out of it.
Thanks in advance...
 
The trig function do NOT have a limit as the argument goes to infinity.

i understand that sir. But, when you do the maths it comes into picture. And this is why i posted the question here.
Thank you...
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
