When random walkers help solving intriguing integrals
We will discuss the properties of a family of integrals involving the cardinal sine function, first studied by Borwein & Borwein. The aim is to provide a physicist's perspective onto a curious change of behaviour occurring within this family, noticed when benchmarking computer algebra packages, and initially attributed to a bug. A number of non-trivial generalizations will be obtained in a calculation-free way. Work in collaboration with Satya Majumdar (On-Line Seminar, link sent by email. For inquiries:
