PrincipalValue

PrincipalValue is an option for Integrate that specifies whether the Cauchy principal value should be found for a definite integral.

The default setting PrincipalValue->False computes ordinary Riemann integrals.

Setting PrincipalValue->True gives finite answers for integrals that had single pole divergences with PrincipalValue->False.

See Section 3.5.8.
