In mathematics, a Böhmer integral is an
integral In mathematics, an integral assigns numbers to functions in a way that describes displacement, area, volume, and other concepts that arise by combining infinitesimal data. The process of finding integrals is called integration. Along wit ...

Fresnel integral 250px, Plots of and . The maximum of is about . If the integrands of and were defined using instead of , then the image would be scaled vertically and horizontally (see below). The Fresnel integrals and are two transcendental functions n ...
s. There are two versions, given by \begin \operatorname(x,\alpha) &= \int_x^\infty t^ \cos(t) \, dt \\ ex\operatorname(x,\alpha) &= \int_x^\infty t^ \sin(t) \, dt \end Consequently, Fresnel integrals can be expressed in terms of the Böhmer integrals as \begin \operatorname(y) &= \frac1-\frac1\cdot\operatorname\left(\frac1,y^2\right) \\ ex\operatorname(y) &= \frac1-\frac1\cdot\operatorname\left(\frac1,y^2\right) \end The
sine integral In mathematics, trigonometric integrals are a family of integrals involving trigonometric functions. Sine integral The different sine integral definitions are \operatorname(x) = \int_0^x\frac\,dt \operatorname(x) = -\int_x^\infty\frac ...
