Calculate 0 π cos ( k x ) 1 2 τ cos ( x ) d x
for k 0 and | τ | < 1 2 . For k=0, I use the reparameterization t = tan ( x / 2 ), but I have no idea how to do it for k 1.

If contour integration is acceptable, let α = 1 1 4 τ 2 2 τ and 1 / α = 1 + 1 4 τ 2 2 τ .
(1) 0 π cos ( k x ) 1 2 τ cos ( x ) d x = 1 2 π π cos ( k x ) + i sin ( k x ) 1 2 τ cos ( x ) d x (2) = 1 2 | z | = 1 z k 1 τ z τ z 1 d z i z (3) = 1 2 i z k z τ z 2 τ d z (4) = i 2 τ z k ( z α ) ( z 1 / α ) d z (5) = 1 2 i 1 4 τ 2 ( z k z α z k z 1 / α ) d z (6) = π α k 1 4 τ 2
Explanation:
(1): since cosine is even, we can double the domain and divide by 2
since sine is odd, adding it to the integral has no effect
(2): write trig functions as functions of z on the unit circle ( z = e i x )
(3): simplify
(4): factor the denominator
(5): partial fractions
(6): 1 / α is outside the unit circle and Res z = α ( z k z α ) = α k
