Let $f(x)=\sum_{s=-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-2\pi ixsk}$ $k$ integer. Does this integral exist? $\int_{0}^{1}(f(x))^{2}dx$
Does the integral of squared Shah function exist?

I think the problem is, to have a meaning for $f(x)^2$, having in mind that the "Shah function" is merely a distribution (also known as Dirac comb). It is known that it is notoriously difficult to have a proper notion for the multiplication of distributions and I do not know a proper way of multiplying a $\delta$ with itself.
