The limit is π2f(0) Note that |0π/2sin2(nx)nsin2xf(x)dxπ2f(0)| (*) |0δsin2(nx)nsin2x[f(x)f(0)]dx|+|δπ/2sin2(nx)nsin2x[f(x)f(0)],dx| Since f is continuous on [0,π/2] and, hence, bounded we have |f(x)|M and |f(x)f(0)|2M and an estimate for the second integral on the RHS of (*) is |δπ/2sin2(nx)nsin2x[f(x)f(0)]dx|2Mnδπ/21sin2xdxn0 Since the second integral converges to 0 for any δ, it remains to prove that the first integral on the RHS of (*) can be made arbitrarily close to 0 with a suitable choice for δ. For any ϵ>0 we can chose δ such that |f(x)f(0)|<ϵ for 0xδ Using sinx>2x/π we get |0δsin2(nx)nsin2x[f(x)f(0)]dx|π2ϵ4n0δsin2(nx)x2,dx =π2ϵ40nδsin2uu2du π2ϵ40sin2uu2du=π3ϵ8 Since, ϵ can be arbitrarily close to 0 we are done.
