Solution

a
For ω=0, insert the Gaussian damping factor e−εx2/2 and use the Gaussian integral:
∫R​e−(ε−iω)x2/2−iλxdx=ε−iω2π​​exp[−2(ε−iω)λ2​].
(1)
Taking ε↓0 in S′ with the continuous square-root branch gives the Fresnel integral
F[eiωx2/2](λ)=∣ω∣2π​​eiπsgn(ω)/4e−iλ2/(2ω)​.
(2)
For ω=0, the function is constant and its Fourier transform is 2πδ0​​.
