The integration limits are now from -1 to 1 , as for the Legendre polynomials. The principal value in Eq. (20) is however rather tricky to evaluate numerically, mainly since computers have limited precision. We will here use a subtraction trick often used when dealing with singular integrals in numerical calculations. We introduce first the calculus relation \begin{equation*} \int_{-1}^{+1} \frac{ds}{s} =0. \end{equation*} It means that the curve 1/(s) has equal and opposite areas on both sides of the singular point s=0 .
