What is the name of the integrals of this form?




$$int_{0}^{infty} frac{sinleft(frac{x}{1}right)sinleft(frac{x}{3}right)cdotssinleft(frac{x}{2n + 1}right)}{left(frac{x}{1}right)left(frac{x}{3}right)cdotsleft(frac{x}{2n + 1}right)} :dx$$

These are examples of Borwein integrals. See:




Borwein, D.; Borwein, J.M., "Some Remarkable Properties of $operatorname{Sinc}$ and Related Integrals", Ramanujan J. 5 (2001), 73-89.




John Baez' Azimuth blog has an illuminating post discussing these integrals, and Greg Egan gave an intuitive explanation in terms of Fourier transforms for the pattern-breaking phenomenon often mentioned when these integrals come up.
