I see a lot of integrals on this page that involve the fractional/integer component of a Real variable $x$. I was wondering what applications these are founded in?

In the Wikipedia article for Floor and ceiling functions you can find other applications. Some of the ones listed there are , for example, in analytic number theory, in formulas expressing the Euler constant or the Riemann theta function.



They might appear when working with the Gauss transformation $T(x)=frac{1}{x}-lfloorfrac{1}{x}rfloor$, used in the study of continued fractions and rational approximation, and proving that it is Ergodic with respect to its invariant measure $mu(B)=frac{1}{ln(2)}int_{B}frac{dt}{1+t}$.

$begingroup$

Another very useful property of the floor-, ceiling- and nearest integer function is that they are locally constant. That means that for any integrable function $f$ of a real variable, and integers $a<b$, you have
$$int_a^bf([x]),mathrm{d}x=sum_{k=a}^{b-1}f(k).$$
Here $[x]$ is a placeholder for either the floor-, ceiling or nearest integer function. Also the integral (and sum) need not be bounded; in stead of $a$ and $b$ you can take $-infty$ and $infty$, respectively.
