A problem when integrate Cos[n*x]*Cos[k*x]












3












$begingroup$


When integrate the indefinite integral Cos[nx]Cos[kx] about x, where both k and n are positive integer, the result is Pi when n equals to k and 0 when n is unequal to k. However, the code 



sol = Integrate[Cos[n*x]*Cos[k*x], {x, -Pi, Pi}, 

  Assumptions -> n ∈ Integers && k ∈ Integers && n > 0 && k > 0]


gives the result (k Sin[π k + π n] - n Sin[π k + π n] +
k Sin[π k - π n] + n Sin[π k - π n])/(k^2 - n^2).
enter image description here



And then use the Simplify function, 



Simplify[sol, Assumptions -> n ∈ Integers && k ∈ Integers && n > 0 && k > 0]


gives the result 0. Shouldn't that Integrate returns a Piecewise function like Piecewise[{{Pi, n == k}, {0, n != k}}] instead?
