Lobachevsky integral formula

Last updated November 27, 2024

In mathematics, Dirichlet integrals play an important role in distribution theory. We can see the Dirichlet integral in terms of distributions.

One of those is the improper integral of the sinc function over the positive real line,

\int _{0}^{\infty }{\frac {\sin x}{x}}\,dx=\int _{0}^{\infty }{\frac {\sin ^{2}x}{x^{2}}}\,dx={\frac {\pi }{2}}.

Lobachevsky's Dirichlet integral formula

Let $f(x)$ be a continuous function satisfying the $\pi$ -periodic assumption $f(x+\pi )=f(x)$ , and $f(\pi -x)=f(x)$ , for $0\leq x<\infty$ . If the integral $\int _{0}^{\infty }{\frac {\sin x}{x}}f(x)\,dx$ is taken to be an improper Riemann integral, we have Lobachevsky's Dirichlet integral formula

\int _{0}^{\infty }{\frac {\sin ^{2}x}{x^{2}}}f(x)\,dx=\int _{0}^{\infty }{\frac {\sin x}{x}}f(x)\,dx=\int _{0}^{\pi /2}f(x)\,dx

Moreover, we have the following identity as an extension of the Lobachevsky Dirichlet integral formula^[1]

\int _{0}^{\infty }{\frac {\sin ^{4}x}{x^{4}}}f(x)\,dx=\int _{0}^{\pi /2}f(t)\,dt-{\frac {2}{3}}\int _{0}^{\pi /2}\sin ^{2}tf(t)\,dt.

As an application, take $f(x)=1$ . Then

\int _{0}^{\infty }{\frac {\sin ^{4}x}{x^{4}}}\,dx={\frac {\pi }{3}}.

In mathematics, the gamma function is the most common extension of the factorial function to complex numbers. Derived by Daniel Bernoulli, the gamma function $is defined for all complex numbers except non-positive integers, and for every positive integer, The gamma function can be defined via a convergent improper integral for complex numbers with positive real part:$

Integration is the basic operation in integral calculus. While differentiation has straightforward rules by which the derivative of a complicated function can be found by differentiating its simpler component functions, integration does not, so tables of known integrals are often useful. This page lists some of the most common antiderivatives.

The Fresnel integrals $S (x)$ and $C (x)$ are two transcendental functions named after Augustin-Jean Fresnel that are used in optics and are closely related to the error function ( $erf$ ). They arise in the description of near-field Fresnel diffraction phenomena and are defined through the following integral representations:

In mathematical analysis, an improper integral is an extension of the notion of a definite integral to cases that violate the usual assumptions for that kind of integral. In the context of Riemann integrals, this typically involves unboundedness, either of the set over which the integral is taken or of the integrand, or both. It may also involve bounded but not closed sets or bounded but not continuous functions. While an improper integral is typically written symbolically just like a standard definite integral, it actually represents a limit of a definite integral or a sum of such limits; thus improper integrals are said to converge or diverge. If a regular definite integral is worked out as if it is improper, the same answer will result.

In mathematics, the Clausen function, introduced by Thomas Clausen, is a transcendental, special function of a single variable. It can variously be expressed in the form of a definite integral, a trigonometric series, and various other forms. It is intimately connected with the polylogarithm, inverse tangent integral, polygamma function, Riemann zeta function, Dirichlet eta function, and Dirichlet beta function.

In mathematics, in the area of analytic number theory, the Dirichlet eta function is defined by the following Dirichlet series, which converges for any complex number having real part > 0:

In calculus, the Leibniz integral rule for differentiation under the integral sign, named after Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, states that for an integral of the form $where and the integrands are functions dependent on the derivative of this integral is expressible as where the partial derivative indicates that inside the integral, only the variation of with is considered in taking the derivative.$

In mathematics, the Fourier sine and cosine transforms are integral equations that decompose arbitrary functions into a sum of sine waves representing the odd component of the function plus cosine waves representing the even component of the function. The modern Fourier transform concisely contains both the sine and cosine transforms. Since the sine and cosine transforms use sine and cosine waves instead of complex exponentials and don't require complex numbers or negative frequency, they more closely correspond to Joseph Fourier's original transform equations and are still preferred in some signal processing and statistics applications and may be better suited as an introduction to Fourier analysis.

In analytic number theory, a Dirichlet series, or Dirichlet generating function (DGF), of a sequence is a common way of understanding and summing arithmetic functions in a meaningful way. A little known, or at least often forgotten about, way of expressing formulas for arithmetic functions and their summatory functions is to perform an integral transform that inverts the operation of forming the DGF of a sequence. This inversion is analogous to performing an inverse Z-transform to the generating function of a sequence to express formulas for the series coefficients of a given ordinary generating function.
