Dirichlet Integrals
In mathematics, there are several integrals known as the Dirichlet integral, after the German mathematician Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet, one of which is the improper integral of the sinc function over the positive real line: : \int_0^\infty \frac \,dx = \frac. This integral is not absolutely convergent, meaning \Biggl, \frac \Biggl, is not Lebesgue-integrable, and so the Dirichlet integral is undefined in the sense of Lebesgue integration. It is, however, defined in the sense of the improper Riemann integral or the generalized Riemann or Henstock–Kurzweil integral. This can be seen by using Dirichlet's test for improper integrals. Although the sine integral, an antiderivative of the sinc function, is not an elementary function, the value of the integral (in the Riemann or Henstock sense) can be derived using various ways, including the Laplace transform, double integration, differentiating under the integral sign, contour integration, and the Dirichlet kernel.

Dirichlet 3
Johann Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet (; 13 February 1805 – 5 May 1859) was a German mathematician who made deep contributions to number theory (including creating the field of analytic number theory), and to the theory of Fourier series and other topics in mathematical analysis; he is credited with being one of the first mathematicians to give the modern formal definition of a function. Although his surname is Lejeune Dirichlet, he is commonly referred to by his mononym Dirichlet, in particular for results named after him. Biography Early life (1805–1822) Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet was born on 13 February 1805 in Düren, a town on the left bank of the Rhine which at the time was part of the First French Empire, reverting to Prussia after the Congress of Vienna in 1815. His father Johann Arnold Lejeune Dirichlet was the postmaster, merchant, and city councilor. His paternal grandfather had come to Düren from Richelette (or more likely Richelle), a small community north eas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Order Of Integration (calculus)
In calculus, interchange of the order of integration is a methodology that transforms iterated integrals (or multiple integrals through the use of Fubini's theorem) of functions into other, hopefully simpler, integrals by changing the order in which the integrations are performed. In some cases, the order of integration can be validly interchanged; in others it cannot. Problem statement The problem for examination is evaluation of an integral of the form : \iint_D \ f(x,y ) \ dx \,dy , where ''D'' is some two-dimensional area in the ''xy''–plane. For some functions ''f'' straightforward integration is feasible, but where that is not true, the integral can sometimes be reduced to simpler form by changing the order of integration. The difficulty with this interchange is determining the change in description of the domain ''D''. The method also is applicable to other multiple integrals. Sometimes, even though a full evaluation is difficult, or perhaps requires a numerical ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dirichlet Principle
In mathematics, and particularly in potential theory, Dirichlet's principle is the assumption that the minimizer of a certain energy functional is a solution to Poisson's equation. Formal statement Dirichlet's principle states that, if the function u ( x ) is the solution to Poisson's equation :\Delta u + f = 0 on a domain \Omega of \mathbb^n with boundary condition :u=g on the boundary \partial\Omega, then ''u'' can be obtained as the minimizer of the Dirichlet energy :E(x)= \int_\Omega \left(\frac, \nabla v, ^2 - vf\right)\,\mathrmx amongst all twice differentiable functions v such that v=g on \partial\Omega (provided that there exists at least one function making the Dirichlet's integral finite). This concept is named after the German mathematician Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet. History The name "Dirichlet's principle" is due to Riemann, who applied it in the study of complex analytic functions. Riemann (and others such as Gauss and Dirichlet) knew that Dirichle ...

Dirichlet Distribution
In probability and statistics, the Dirichlet distribution (after Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet), often denoted \operatorname(\boldsymbol\alpha), is a family of continuous multivariate probability distributions parameterized by a vector \boldsymbol\alpha of positive reals. It is a multivariate generalization of the beta distribution, (Chapter 49: Dirichlet and Inverted Dirichlet Distributions) hence its alternative name of multivariate beta distribution (MBD). Dirichlet distributions are commonly used as prior distributions in Bayesian statistics, and in fact, the Dirichlet distribution is the conjugate prior of the categorical distribution and multinomial distribution. The infinite-dimensional generalization of the Dirichlet distribution is the ''Dirichlet process''. Definitions Probability density function The Dirichlet distribution of order ''K'' ≥ 2 with parameters ''α''1, ..., ''α''''K'' > 0 has a probability density function with respect to Lebesgue m ...

List Of Limits
This is a list of limits for common functions such as elementary functions. In this article, the terms ''a'', ''b'' and ''c'' are constants with respect to SM Limits for general functions Definitions of limits and related concepts \lim_ f(x) = L if and only if This is the (ε, δ)-definition of limit. The limit superior and limit inferior of a sequence are defined as \limsup_ x_n = \lim_ \left(\sup_ x_m\right) and \liminf_ x_n = \lim_\left(\inf_ x_m\right) . A function, f(x), is said to be continuous at a point, ''c'', if \lim_ f(x) = f(c). Operations on a single known limit If \lim_ f(x) = L then: *\lim_ \, (x) \pm a= L \pm a *\lim_ \, a f(x) = a L *\lim_ \frac= \frac1L if L is not equal to 0. *\lim_ \, f(x)^n = L^n if ''n'' is a positive integer *\lim_ \, f(x)^ = L^ if ''n'' is a positive integer, and if ''n'' is even, then ''L'' > 0.

Integration By Parts
In calculus, and more generally in mathematical analysis, integration by parts or partial integration is a process that finds the integral of a product of functions in terms of the integral of the product of their derivative and antiderivative. It is frequently used to transform the antiderivative of a product of functions into an antiderivative for which a solution can be more easily found. The rule can be thought of as an integral version of the product rule of differentiation. The integration by parts formula states: \begin \int_a^b u(x) v'(x) \, dx & = \Big (x) v(x)\Biga^b - \int_a^b u'(x) v(x) \, dx\\ & = u(b) v(b) - u(a) v(a) - \int_a^b u'(x) v(x) \, dx. \end Or, letting u = u(x) and du = u'(x) \,dx while v = v(x) and dv = v'(x) \, dx, the formula can be written more compactly: \int u \, dv \ =\ uv - \int v \, du. Mathematician Brook Taylor discovered integration by parts, first publishing the idea in 1715. More general formulations of integration by parts ex ...

Dirichlet Kernel
In mathematical analysis, the Dirichlet kernel, named after the German mathematician Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet, is the collection of periodic functions defined as D_n(x)= \sum_^n e^ = \left(1+2\sum_^n\cos(kx)\right)=\frac, where is any nonnegative integer. The kernel functions are periodic with period 2\pi. 300px, Plot restricted to one period Dirac delta distributions of the Dirac comb">Dirac comb. The importance of the Dirichlet kernel comes from its relation to Fourier series. The convolution of with any function of period 2 is the ''n''th-degree Fourier series approximation to , i.e., we have (D_n*f)(x)=\int_^\pi f(y)D_n(x-y)\,dy=\sum_^n \hat(k)e^, where \widehat(k)=\frac 1 \int_^\pi f(x)e^\,dx is the th Fourier coefficient of . This implies that in order to study convergence of Fourier series it is enough to study properties of the Dirichlet kernel.

Cauchy Principal Value
In mathematics, the Cauchy principal value, named after Augustin Louis Cauchy, is a method for assigning values to certain improper integrals which would otherwise be undefined. Formulation Depending on the type of singularity in the integrand , the Cauchy principal value is defined according to the following rules: In some cases it is necessary to deal simultaneously with singularities both at a finite number and at infinity. This is usually done by a limit of the form \lim_\, \lim_ \,\left ,\int_^ f(x)\,\mathrmx \,~ + ~ \int_^ f(x)\,\mathrmx \,\right In those cases where the integral may be split into two independent, finite limits, \lim_ \, \left, \,\int_a^ f(x)\,\mathrmx \,\\; < \;\infty and then the function is integrable in the ordinary sense. The result of the procedure for principal value is the same as the ordinary integral; since it no longer matches the definition, i ...

Complex Number
In mathematics, a complex number is an element of a number system that extends the real numbers with a specific element denoted , called the imaginary unit and satisfying the equation i^= -1; every complex number can be expressed in the form a + bi, where and are real numbers. Because no real number satisfies the above equation, was called an imaginary number by René Descartes. For the complex number a+bi, is called the , and is called the . The set of complex numbers is denoted by either of the symbols \mathbb C or . Despite the historical nomenclature "imaginary", complex numbers are regarded in the mathematical sciences as just as "real" as the real numbers and are fundamental in many aspects of the scientific description of the natural world. Complex numbers allow solutions to all polynomial equations, even those that have no solutions in real numbers. More precisely, the fundamental theorem of algebra asserts that every non-constant polynomial equation with real or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sokhotski–Plemelj Theorem
The Sokhotski–Plemelj theorem (Polish spelling is ''Sochocki'') is a theorem in complex analysis, which helps in evaluating certain integrals. The real-line version of it ( see below) is often used in physics, although rarely referred to by name. The theorem is named after Julian Sochocki, who proved it in 1868, and Josip Plemelj, who rediscovered it as a main ingredient of his solution of the Riemann–Hilbert problem in 1908. Statement of the theorem Let ''C'' be a smooth closed simple curve in the plane, and \varphi an analytic function on ''C''. Note that the Cauchy-type integral : \phi(z) = \frac \int_C\frac, cannot be evaluated for any ''z'' on the curve ''C''. However, on the interior and exterior of the curve, the integral produces analytic functions, which will be denoted \phi_i inside ''C'' and \phi_e outside. The Sokhotski–Plemelj formulas relate the limiting boundary values of these two analytic functions at a point ''z'' on ''C'' and the Cauchy principa ...
