Integral Calculus - Fundamentals - Area Integrals
- Area under a function: How to find the area under a function's curve?
- Idea: Divide the area into small rectangles and sum their areas.
- Limit: Find the limit of the sum of areas as the number of rectangles approaches infinity, making them infinitely thin.
- Upper sum: Sum of areas of rectangles that enclose the curve.
- Lower sum: Sum of areas of rectangles that are contained within the curve.
- Area approximation: The area of the region is the limit of upper and lower sums.
Definition: Area Integral
- Multidimensional scalar function: An integral over a region G (open set).
- Region: A region in R^n with smooth boundary.
- Integral notation: ∫∫G f(x) dx
- General definition: Defined using the concept of the rectangular product of intervals.
Definition: General Quad
- General representation: A rectangular product of intervals such as Q =(a1,b1) x (a2,b2) x ...x (an,bn), with ai, and bi ∈ R (for i = 1...n).
- Examples: In 2D, a rectangle; in 3D, a cuboid.
- Volume: Volume of the quad is V =(b1 - a1)(b2 - a2)...(bn- an)
Definition: Step Function
- Characteristics: A function defined on a region D ⊂ Rn with 3 key properties.
- Property 1: D is made of a finite number of disjoint quads, Qj, j=1,..., N
- Property 2: The function has value zero on the union of all the Qj
- Property 3: The function is constant on each quad Qj. And the value is written as q(x) = qj.
Example and Integral of a Step Function
- Evaluation: The integral can be conceptually calculated as a sum of the products of the function value and the area of the quads it's applied on.
- Example: Calculation of an integral for a step function that covers a three-dimensional region.
Definitions and Theorems
- Null set: A set M ⊂ Rn that can be covered by a countable number of quads with arbitrarily small volume.
- Almost everywhere (ae): The statement A(x) is true almost everywhere (ae) if the set of points where it is false is a null set.
-
Lebesgue integrable functions
- A function f(x) is Lebesgue integrable on a region D if there exists a set of step function that converges to f
- Integral of a function The integral of f(x,y) over a region R can be calculated by iterated integral.
Derivation of Area Integrals
- Rectilinear area: Calculating area integration over a rectangular region.
- Step functions: Calculating integration over a rectangular region using properties of step functions.
- Iterated integrals: Calculating integrals by splitting into smaller parts over subregions (like rectangles). Functions are integrated repeatedly to produce area integrals, using properties of step functions.
Example:
- Example Function: sin(x + 2y)
- Region: 0 ≤ x ≤ π/2, 0 ≤ y ≤ π/2
- Double Integral Calculation: Illustrative steps to calculate the double integral using iterated integration.
