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