PrincipalValue

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