compute $lim_{n to infty} int_{[0,1]} frac{(ln x)^n}{sqrt{1-x^2}} , dx$












0












$begingroup$


$I = lim_{n to infty}I_n = lim_{n to infty} int_{[0,1]} frac{(ln x)^n}{sqrt{1-x^2}} , dx$



since we have $(ln x)^n leq x , forall x in [0,1], ngeq 1 $ then I could show that $I_n leq 1$



I wanted then to use the DCT but $ lim_{n to infty} (ln x)^n$ doesn't exist for positive $x$ less than $1$.



I'm a bit lost, anyone can give me hints or tell me what to do ?

Note that $-log xgeq 1-xgeq0$ on $[0,1]$. Thus your assertion that $I_n leq 1$ is wrong. We may write
$$
(-1)^nI_n = int_0^{frac{1}{e}}frac{(-log x)^n}{sqrt{1-x^2}}dx + int_{frac{1}{e}}^1frac{(-log x)^n}{sqrt{1-x^2}}dx .
$$ We can observe that for $xin (0,frac{1}{e})$, it holds $$
1leq (-log x)^n uparrow infty,
$$ and
$$
1geq (-log x)^n downarrow 0
$$ for $xin (frac{1}{e},1]$. By Lebesgue's dominated convergence theorem and monotone convergence theorem, it follows that
$$
lim_{ntoinfty} (-1)^n I_n = infty.
$$

    A shorter proof uses $int_0^1frac{(-ln x)^n dx}{sqrt{1-x^2}}geint_0^1(-ln x)^n dx=int_0^infty y^n e^{-y}dy=n!$.

      Graphing the initial few functions for integer-valued n, it is clear that the integral will change signs repeatedly, and be negative for odd n and positive for even n. As a result, I would suggest that the limit does not exist unless it converges at 0, which seems unlikely when plotting the graph for high n-values

                      I agree with you that either the limit is $0$ or the limit does not exists, but unfortunately, plotting a graph is not a proof.

Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo
