<p>I'm looking to integrate several functions having the form</p>
<p>$\int_0^T \frac{ sin(\omega \tau) }{\omega} \tau^{2H} d\tau$</p>
<p>where $2H \ge 0$ but may not be an integer. I'd like to know if the machinery of fractional calculus (e.g. fractional integration by parts) can be used to integrate such an expression.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>(PS: I'm not quite sure to which category/tag this question belongs.)</p>
