Examples of Du Bois-Reymond Constants

First du Bois-Reymond Constant

The first du Bois-Reymond constant $C_1$ does not exist.

This is because:

$\ds \int_0^\infty \size {\map {\dfrac \d {\d t} } {\dfrac {\sin t} t}^n} \rd t - 1$

does not converge for $n = 1$.


Second du Bois-Reymond Constant

The second du Bois-Reymond constant $C_2$ evaluates as:

\(\ds C_2\) \(=\) \(\ds \dfrac {e^2 - 7} 2\)
\(\ds \) \(\approx\) \(\ds 0 \cdotp 19452 \, 80494 \, 6532 \ldots\)
