Show that $\int_{\lfloor x \rfloor}^{x} \frac{q(u)}{u} \mathrm{~d}u$ tends to 0 when $x$ tends to $+\infty$, and deduce the convergence of the integral $\int_{1}^{+\infty} \frac{q(u)}{u} \mathrm{~d}u$, as well as the equality $$\int_{1}^{+\infty} \frac{q(u)}{u} \mathrm{~d}u = \frac{\ln(2\pi)}{2} - 1$$

We assume that $f$ is a function from $\mathbb { R } _ { + } ^ { * }$ to $\mathbb { R }$ of class $\mathcal { C } ^ { 1 }$ satisfying $$\left\{ \begin{array} { l } \lim _ { x \rightarrow 0 } f ( x ) = 0 \\ \exists C > 0 ; \forall x > 0 , \quad \left| f ^ { \prime } ( x ) \right| \leqslant C \frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { x / 2 } } { \sqrt { x } } \end{array} \right.$$ Using the result of Question 7, deduce that $f \in E$, where $E$ is the set of continuous functions $f$ from $\mathbb { R } _ { + } ^ { * }$ to $\mathbb { R }$ such that the integral $\int _ { 0 } ^ { + \infty } f ^ { 2 } ( t ) \frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { - t } } { t } \mathrm {~d} t$ converges.

Study the variations of the function $t \mapsto t \ln(t)$ on $\mathbf{R}_{+}^{*}$. Verify that the function can be extended by continuity at 0 and verify that the quantity $\operatorname{Ent}_{\varphi}(g)$ is well defined for all $g \in C^{0}(\mathbf{R}) \cap CL(\mathbf{R})$ with strictly positive values such that $\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} g(x) \varphi(x) \mathrm{d}x = 1$.
Recall that for $f \in C^{0}(\mathbf{R}) \cap CL(\mathbf{R})$ with strictly positive values such that $\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} f(x) \varphi(x) \mathrm{d}x = 1$, the entropy of $f$ with respect to $\varphi$ is defined by: $$\operatorname{Ent}_{\varphi}(f) = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \ln(f(x)) f(x) \varphi(x) \mathrm{d}x$$

where $x$ is a fixed element of $]0;1[$. Show, using the dominated convergence theorem, that:
$$\lim _ { \theta \rightarrow \pi ^ { - } } g ( \theta ) \sin ( x \theta ) = \int _ { - \infty } ^ { + \infty } \frac { \mathrm { d } u } { 1 + u ^ { 2 } }$$
