Jul 13, 2018 at 6:14 comment added Ulrich Neumann Note: Mathematica can evaluate the asymptotic part of the integrand Integrate[ Sin[x]/(2 Sqrt[x] ), {x, 0, Infinity} ](*Sqrt[\[Pi]/2]/2*)

Jul 12, 2018 at 20:35 comment added AccidentalFourierTransform Note sure if useful, but your integral can also be written as a sum: -Cos[1] + Sqrt[Pi/2] FresnelC[Sqrt[2/Pi]] + Sum[((-1)^(1 + n) (-1 + n) Sqrt[2/Pi] Gamma[-(7/2) + 2 n] HypergeometricPFQ[{-(1/2) + n}, {3/2, 1/2 + n}, -(1/4)])/Gamma[2 n] - ((1/16 + I/16) I^n (-I + (-1)^n) (Gamma[5/4 - n/2] Gamma[-(1/2) + n] HypergeometricPFQRegularized[{5/4 - n/2}, {3/2, 9/4 - n/2}, -(1/4)] + 4 Sqrt[Pi] Sec[n Pi] Sin[1/4 (Pi + 2 n Pi)]))/Gamma[1 + n], {n, 1, Infinity}].
Jul 12, 2018 at 19:32 comment added user64494 The questions arise: isn't it art for art's sake? where is this integral applied?
Jul 12, 2018 at 19:28 comment added JungHwan Min @MariuszIwaniuk You can verify the solution like that, but you cannot compute it (plus, being close does not necessarily mean they're equal). The assumption here is that you don't know the solution $\frac{1}{2}\,\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{2}}\,\frac{e-1}{e}$ a priori.
Jul 12, 2018 at 18:56 comment added Mariusz Iwaniuk Ok I correct the comment. You can check with NIntegrate code: Sqrt[Pi/2]/2*((E - 1)/E) - NIntegrate[(Sqrt[x] - Sqrt[Sqrt[1 + x^2] - 1])*Sin[x], {x, 0, Infinity}, WorkingPrecision -> 200] almost zero.

Jul 12, 2018 at 17:42 comment added JungHwan Min For the approximation, you could use NIntegrate.
