Integral of $(n−[n])\sin(nx)$: Bounded or Not?

83 Views Asked by At

There is same question, but I want to check only one subtle thing from the problem.

Is $\int_1^N (n-[n])\sin(nx)\,dn$ bounded for all $N$ with $0<x<2\pi$?

(Here, $[n]$ is greatest integer function.)

It is seemingly certain, but I can't prove it.

If we fix $N$ then $$\left| \int_1^N \big(n-[n]\big) \sin(nx) \right| \,\Bbb dn \leq \int_1^N (1 \cdot 1) \,\Bbb dn = N-1 $$ that is because $\big|\sin(nx)\big| \le 1$ and $\big|n - [n]\big| \le 1$.
