Given $$\int_0^\infty \cos{x^2}\arctan{\alpha x} \,dx \ \text{on} \ \mathbb{R}$$ establish its' uniform convergence.
My thoughts are:
- $\arctan{\alpha x}$ is monotonic function for each $\alpha$
- I need to prove that either $|\int_0^b \cos{x^2}|$ converges uniformly or it is bounded by some $M$. Since we've not yet covered what the Fresnel integral is, I cannot use the fact that my cosine is bounded with no proof.
For nonnegative integers $n$, let $$c_n = \int_{\sqrt{2n\pi}}^{\sqrt{2(n+1)\pi}} \cos(x^2)\; dx $$ By change of variables $x = \sqrt{t + 2n \pi}$, we get $$ c_n = \int_0^{2\pi} \frac{\cos(t)}{2\sqrt{2n\pi + t}}\; dt $$ Since $\int_0^{2\pi} \cos(t)\; dt = 0$ and $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2n\pi + t}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2n\pi}} + O(n^{-3/2})$$ we get $c_n = O(n^{-3/2})$.
