A problem when integrate Cos[n*x]*Cos[k*x]












3












$begingroup$


When integrate the indefinite integral Cos[nx]Cos[kx] about x, where both k and n are positive integer, the result is Pi when n equals to k and 0 when n is unequal to k. However, the code 



sol = Integrate[Cos[n*x]*Cos[k*x], {x, -Pi, Pi}, 

  Assumptions -> n ∈ Integers && k ∈ Integers && n > 0 && k > 0]


gives the result (k Sin[π k + π n] - n Sin[π k + π n] +
k Sin[π k - π n] + n Sin[π k - π n])/(k^2 - n^2).
enter image description here



And then use the Simplify function, 



Simplify[sol, Assumptions -> n ∈ Integers && k ∈ Integers && n > 0 && k > 0]


gives the result 0. Shouldn't that Integrate returns a Piecewise function like Piecewise[{{Pi, n == k}, {0, n != k}}] instead?

          Single-Malt-Whisky

          Image
          Fünf verschiedene schottische Single-Malt-Whiskys Als Single-Malt-Whisky oder kürzer Single Malt werden Whiskys bezeichnet, die zwei besondere Bedingungen erfüllen: Sie stammen zum ersten aus einer einzigen Brennerei, sind also kein Verschnitt aus mehreren Whiskysorten (daher Single , deutsch: einzeln). Zum zweiten wird als Getreide ausschließlich gemälzte Gerste verwendet (deswegen Malt , deutsch: Malz). Der Zusatz Single Malt wird als Prädikat verstanden, die so ausgezeichneten Whiskys sind in aller Regel besonders hochwertig. Hinzu kommt ihre besonders lange Lagerung, die Reifungszeit währt oft ein Jahrzehnt und länger.
