Reddit Feynman Integral. We calculate the integral from 0 to 1 of x^2 - 1 / lnx using two methods: the Feynman technique and classical u substitution. Both methods are useful in physics and a must learn for beginning calculus students and anyone interested in integrals and integration.

I like the Feynman technique a lot because of how elegant and simple it is. However, because the u-sub method is more straightforward, and when attempting to tackle an unknown integral, you should always try all the other integration tools in your arsenal before the Feynman technique. Therefor, from a practicality standpoint, I prefer the u-sub method because it’s one someone may be more likely to try and be successful with when dealing with unknown integrals

Another way to tackle this integral is to write the integrand as the integral from 0 to 2 of x^ada and exchange the order of integration with Fubini's Theorem. This is basically just using Feynman's trick but honestly I prefer using other methods if I can help it since they feel a bit more intuitive

I'll get behind this because I always found it hard to verify the hypotheses of the Lebesgue DCT. Fubini/Tonelli is usually easier

A different approach would be to introduce x= Exp[-t].This leads to the Integral of (Exp[-t]-1)*Exp[-t]/t. If you now set J[s]=Integral ((Exp[-t]-1)*Exp[-s*t]/t) from 0 to Inf. Then it is a standard Feynman-case ,which is easily solved.

Nice video ! When we had f'(t)=1/(t+1) integrate: f(t)=ln(t+1)+C We know f(0)=0=C Then f(t)=ln(t+1) Then: f(2)=ln(3) In fact it is the same way to do but in an other point of view.

@@MurshidIslam We saw that in the video and it is logique. f(t)=int(x^(t)-1)/ln(x)) Then f(0)=int(x^(0)-1/(ln(x)) f(0)=int(0) f(0)=0 (Int(0)=0 because int(0*dx)=[C]=C-C=0

To do the first technique rigorously, would you first need to check f us well-defined, or is that check contained in the calculation?

From the problem, it looks to be valid, but could you perhaps explain why Fubini's condition is satisfied so that we can swap the order of the integrals?

@fakechuck7659 2 жыл бұрын

The intuitive explanation is that you're summing up the slices of a volume and it doesn't matter which axis you slice along as you are still counting all of the parts. It's similar to the simple commutative property of multiplication.
