As is, you posted a scramble for two reasons: 1) The second definition should start with xTransf[f_] (WITH the underscore). 2) The right hand side includes r[Pi] in the second Cos argument, indicating that r is a function. In that case, what does it mean for r to approach f in the Limit? If I rewrite to eliminate those problems, Simplify doesn't get the result you want, but FullSimplify does: Clear[xTransf, xTransf2] xTransf2[f_] := 36 Sinc[6 Pi f]^2; xTransf[f_] = Limit[(E^(-24 I \[Pi] r) (-Cos[12 \[Pi] r] + Cos[24 r \[Pi]] + 12 \[Pi] r Sin[24 \[Pi] r]))/(2 \[Pi]^2 r^2), r -> f]; diff[i_] = xTransf2[i/24] - xTransf[i/24]; one = Simplify[diff@i, {i > 0, i \[Element] Integers}] 36 ((8 (-1 + (-1)^i Cos[(i \[Pi])/2]))/(i^2 \[Pi]^2) + Sinc[(i \[Pi])/4]^2) FullSimplify[diff@i, {i > 0, i \[Element] Integers}] 0 One way to work that out almost by hand is: two = Expand[(i^2 Pi^2)/(8*36) one /. Sinc[any_] :> Sin@any/any] -1 + (-1)^i Cos[(i \[Pi])/2] + 2 Sin[(i \[Pi])/4]^2 (to eliminate Sinc) doubleAngle = ReplaceAll[#, Cos[x_] :> Cos[x/2]^2 - Sin[x/2]^2] &; three = MapAt[doubleAngle, two, 2] // Expand -1 + (-1)^i Cos[(i \[Pi])/4]^2 + 2 Sin[(i \[Pi])/4]^2 - (-1)^i Sin[(i \[Pi])/4]^2 (to have all the Sin and Cos terms squared) four = three /. Cos[any_]^2 :> 1 - Sin[any]^2 // Expand // Factor -(-1 + (-1)^i) (-1 + 2 Sin[(i \[Pi])/4]^2) Separate into factors: {minus, five, six} = List @@ four {-1, -1 + (-1)^i, -1 + 2 Sin[(i \[Pi])/4]^2} "five" is zero when i is even: Reduce[five == 0] (-1)^i == 1 "six" is zero when i is odd: Reduce[six == 0] Sin[(i \[Pi])/4] == -(1/Sqrt[2]) || Sin[(i \[Pi])/4] == 1/Sqrt[2] So the product is zero for all i. (NON-ZERO i, that is, since we assumed Sinc was defined.)
