 Logarithmic divergence

A logarithmic divergence grows like a logarithm as a cutoff is removed. For example ${\int }_{ϵ}^{1}dx/x=\log (1/ϵ)\to \infty$ as $ϵ\to 0^{+}$. An integrand $f(x)=C/x+O(1)$ near zero gives $C\log (1/ϵ)+O(1)$. This behavior distinguishes logarithmic sensitivity to an infrared or ultraviolet cutoff from power-law divergence.
