The given function vanishes at integral values of x since fractional part of x is zero at these values.
We know that for non-integral values of x :
⌈ x ⌉ = ⌊ x ⌋ + 1
The given integral now reduces to:
∫ 0 1 2 ⌈ x ⌉ ( − 1 ) ⌊ x ⌋ ⋅ 2 0 1 6 { x } d x + ∫ 1 2 2 ⌈ x ⌉ ( − 1 ) ⌊ x ⌋ ⋅ 2 0 1 6 { x } d x + …
2 1 ( − 1 ) 0 ⋅ 2 0 1 6 ∫ 0 1 { x } d x + 2 2 ( − 1 ) 1 ⋅ 2 0 1 6 ∫ 1 2 { x } d x + …
Using the property:
∫ r r + 1 { x } d x = ∫ 0 1 { x } d x = 2 1 ; ∀ r ∈ Z
We get
( 2 1 ( − 1 ) 0 + 2 2 ( − 1 ) 1 + … ) ⋅ 2 0 1 6 ⋅ ∫ 0 1 { x } d x
⇒ ( r = 0 ∑ ∞ 2 r + 1 ( − 1 ) r ) ⋅ 2 0 1 6 ⋅ 2 1
⇒ 1 0 0 8 ⋅ 2 1 ⋅ r = 0 ∑ ∞ ( 2 − 1 ) r
This is an infinite geometric progression. The sum yields
⇒ 5 0 4 × 1 − 2 − 1 1
⇒ 3 3 6
