PrincipalValue

Usage

PrincipalValue is an option for Integrate that specifies whether the Cauchy principal value should be found for a definite integral.


Notes

• The default setting PrincipalValue->False computes ordinary Riemann integrals.
• Setting PrincipalValue->True gives finite answers for integrals that had simple pole divergences with PrincipalValue->False.
• See Section 3.5.8.
• New in Version 3.
