For , the gamma function isRotate the integration ray through , or insert a damping factor and then let it vanish. With the principal power, contour rotation givesFor the damping argument, , and Dirichlet tail estimates justify the limit. The condition ensures integrability at zero; makes the amplitude tend to zero and permits conditional convergence at infinity. At , the upper-end oscillation has no limit; larger also fails ordinary improper convergence. These restrictions concern this improper integral, not its analytic regularizations.
