The function is Lebesgue integrable. The inequalities

∣ sin u ∣ \leq min {u, 1}

for

u > 0

give bounds that handle the two ends of the

x

-axis differently. For

0 < x < 1

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- 2 x y} ∣ sin x sin y ∣ d y \leq x \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- 2 x y} d y = \frac{1}{2} .

For

x \geq 1

\int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- 2 x y} ∣ sin x sin y ∣ d y \leq \int_{0}^{\infty} y e^{- 2 x y} d y = \frac{1}{4 x ^{2}} .

\iint_{(0, \infty)^{2}} e^{- 2 x y} ∣ sin x sin y ∣ d x d y \leq \frac{1}{2} + \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{d x}{4 x ^{2}} = \frac{3}{4} < \infty.

The factors of sine suppress the near-axis contributions that caused divergence in part i.
