I'm trying to solve this problem from Real Analysis of Folland but can't find any solution for it. Can anyone help me ?. Thanks so much.
$$\mbox{Show that}\quad \int_{0}^{\infty}\left\vert\,{\sin\left(x\right) \over x}\,\right\vert\,{\rm d}x =\infty $$
And also, can we calculate the similar integral $\int_{0}^{\infty}{\sin\left(x\right) \over x}\,{\rm d}x$ ?. Please help me clarify this. I really appreciate.
$$ \int\limits_0^\infty \left|\frac{\sin x}{x} \right| \mathrm{d}x \\ =\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty \int\limits_{n\pi}^{(n+1)\pi} \left|\frac{\sin x}{x} \right| \mathrm{d}x \\ \geq \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty \int\limits_{n\pi}^{(n+1)\pi} \left|\frac{\sin x}{(n+1)\pi} \right| \mathrm{d}x \\ = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty \frac{1}{(n+1)\pi}\int\limits_{n\pi}^{(n+1)\pi} \left|\sin x \right| \mathrm{d}x \\ = \sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty \frac{2}{(n+1)\pi}\\ = \frac{2}{\pi}\sum\limits_{n = 0}^\infty \frac{1}{n+1}\\ = \frac{2}{\pi}\left(1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+ \dots\right) = \infty $$
\begin{align}\int_0^\infty\left|\frac{\sin x}x\right|dx&=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\int_{k\pi}^{(k+1)\pi}\left|\frac{\sin x}x\right|dx\\&=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\int_{0}^{\pi}\left|\frac{\sin x}{x+k\pi}\right|dx\\&\ge \frac1\pi\sum_{k=0}^\infty\int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{\sin x}{k+1}dx=\frac2\pi\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1k=\infty\end{align}
