Remarkable properties of the \(\operatorname{sinc}_{p,q}\) functions and related integrals (Q2660452)

Different types of sinc integrals are investigated when the standard sine function is replaced by the so-called generalised trigonometric sine function, \(\sin_{p,q}(x)\), depending on two parameters \(p,q \in (1,\infty)\). The integrals analysed are \[ \int_0^\infty \left| \frac{\sin_{p,q}(x)}{x} \right|^{r-1} \frac{\sin_{p,q}(x)}{x}\ dx \] and \[ \int_0^\infty \left| \frac{\sin_{p,q}(x)}{ x} \right|^{m}\ dx \] with \(r >0\) and \(m, p,q \in (1,\infty)\), The main results are: \par (a) A striking generalisation of the improper Dirichlet integral; \par (b) An interesting generalisation of the identity between the Dirichlet integral and that of the integrand of the function \(sinc (x) ^2=\left(\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\right)^2\). Moreover, an asymptotically sharpened form of Ball's integral inequality is obtained in terms of two parameters.
