| Sep 10, 2016 at 20:30 | comment | added | OmnipotentEntity | Oddly, when I use a decimal value (eg, Pi*0.5) Mathematica shows the value as near 0, but when I use a fractional one (eg, Pi/2) it's jumpy. Wat. | |
| Sep 10, 2016 at 20:26 | comment | added | OmnipotentEntity | Because there are an infinite number of poles as you take the limit, I tried some transcendental numbers. I was unable to coax Mathematica into giving me a limit as n->infinity with x = Pi/2 or Pi/4. Checking n in the neighborhood of 10^10 showed the value jumping around quite a bit. | |

| Sep 10, 2016 at 19:58 | comment | added | T. Amdeberhan | It appears to me that your limit is $1$ if $x>1$ and $0$ if $0$ if $0\leq x<1$, whenever $x$ is not a pole. Can you check that (at least) numerically? One has to be careful at $x=1$, it can't be done by quick inspection. | |
