If a < u < b and n > 0 then

(1)

is a so-called improper integral owing to the infinity in the integrand at x = u. When n = 0 we have associated with (1) the well-known Cauchy principal value, namely

(2).

Hadamard (1, p. 117 et seq.) derives from an improper integral an expression which he calls its finite part and which, as he shows, possesses many important properties.
