The function g(ω)=ωsinω is an even function because sin(−ω)=−sin(ω) and −ω in the denominator cancels the negative sign, resulting in g(−ω)=g(ω). For any even function, the integral over the symmetric interval (−∞,∞) is equal to twice the integral over the half-interval (0,∞).
Conditions: The integrand is ωsinω.; The integration interval is symmetric about the origin.; The value of the full-axis integral is known to be π.

The Fourier transform of the rectangular pulse function f(t) is computed by substituting its piecewise definition into the integral definition of the Fourier transform. Because f(t) is zero outside the interval [−1,1] and equals 1 inside, the infinite integral reduces to a finite integral over [−1,1].
Conditions: The function is defined as f(t)=1 for ∣t∣≤1 and 0 otherwise.; The Fourier transform is defined as F(ω)=∫−∞∞f(t)e−iωtdt.; ω is a real number.
