Hi group, I observed the following strange behaviour: In[1]:= intval=Integrate[ArcTanh[x]Sin[Pi x] /x^(3/2),{x,-Infinity,Infinity}]; N[intval,20] Out[2]= -1.25202170984968414370-0.44549963468032208018 I In[3]:= NIntegrate[ArcTanh[x]Sin[Pi x] x^(-3/2),{x,-Infinity,Infinity},WorkingPrecision->20,MaxRecursion->40] Out[3]= 0.4454583760949374777+1.2524304857355799863 I weird, isn't it? Cheers, Peter P.S.: The CAS which must not be named here (you know which one): evalf[20](Int(arctanh(x)*sin(Pi*x)/x^(3/2),x=-infinity..infinity)); 0.44549963468032208018 + 1.2520217098496841437 I
