Hi Peter,
It is supposed to be t^{3/2} instead of t^{0.5}. The code had a typo. Yes, I
figured out that when x =0, the solution is divergent because it is like
dividing something by zero.
Thanks.
Best,
Janesh

Subject: Re: [R] Solving an integral in R gives the error "The integral is
probably divergent"
But is it supposed to be t^{-3/2} or t^{-0.5}?? The formula has the former
and the code the latter, and the integral is clearly divergent with the
former.
