Fourier transform of a function with reciprocal tails

ID: fourier-transform-of-a-function-with-reciprocal-tails

Suppose is locally integrable and
Then has finite limits at zero from both sides. With the convention , the positive-frequency limit minus the negative-frequency limit is
Subtracting suitable reflected copies of leaves an function, whose Fourier transform is continuous; the jump then follows from the Dirichlet integral.
