This article demonstrates a generalisation of Baillie’s identity in integrals, suggesting new identities involving cosines.
Baillie’s identity is (see [1] or [2], p. 240). Its integral analogue, , is not difficult to prove (see Lemma 1, below). In this Article, we prove a generalisation of the latter result (see Theorem 1). Theorems 2 and 3 are extensions, involving in addition, powers of cosines in the integrand. Theorem 4 answers a question raised after the proof of Theorem 1, and Theorem 5 collects together the preceding results in the form of three identities between trigonometric integrals. Theorem 6 gives a further generalisation.
