I want to solve the following integral exactly \begin{align*} \int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{\cos(t^2)}{1-2a\cos(t)+a^2}dt,\quad -1

  • 0
    $a$ lies between $-1$ and $ 1$. i.e., $-12017-02-07

    Is the exponent in the numerator on the cosine or on the argument?2017-02-07

    Due to the [Poisson kernel][1] we have: $$ \int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{\cos(t^2)}{1-2a\cos t+a^2}\,dt = \frac{1}{1-a^2}\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}a^{|n|}\int_{0}^{\pi}\cos(\theta^2)e^{in\theta}\,d\theta \tag{1}$$ and if we expand $\cos(\theta^2)$ as a Fourier series we certainly end with a series whose terms depend on Fresnel integrals.
