1. INTEGRATION

Integration is the inverse operation of differentiation.

For that reason, indefinite integrals are sometimes referred to as antiderivatives.1 Although expressions can be functions of several variables, integrals can only be taken with respect to one variable at a time. The differential term (dx in Eq. 9.1) indicates that variable.

In Eq. 9.1, the function f0ðxÞ is the integrand, and x is the variable of integration.

Z

f0ðxÞdx ¼ f ðxÞ þ C 9:1 While most of a function, fðxÞ, can be “recovered”

through integration of its derivative, f0ðxÞ, a constant term will be lost. This is because the derivative of a constant term vanishes (i.e., is zero), leaving nothing to recover from. A constant of integration, C, is added to the integral to recognize the possibility of such a constant term.

2. ELEMENTARY OPERATIONS

Equation 9.2 through Eq. 9.8 summarize the elemen-tary integration operations on polynomials and exponentials.2

Equation 9.2 and Eq. 9.3 are particularly useful. (C and k represent constants. fðxÞ and gðxÞ are functions of x.)

3. INTEGRATION BY PARTS

Equation 9.30, repeated here, is known as integration by parts. fðxÞ and gðxÞ are functions. The use of this method is illustrated by Ex. 9.2.

Example 9.2

Find the following integral.

x2ex is factored into two parts so that integration by parts can be used.

fðxÞ ¼ x2 dgðxÞ ¼ exdx dfðxÞ ¼ 2x dx

gðxÞ ¼ Z

dgðxÞ ¼ Z

exdx ¼ ex

From Eq. 9.31, disregarding the constant of integration (which cannot be evaluated),

Z

The second term is also factored into two parts, and integration by parts is used again. This time,

fðxÞ ¼ x dgðxÞ ¼ exdx dfðxÞ ¼ dx

gðxÞ ¼ Z

dgðxÞ ¼ Z

exdx ¼ ex

4. SEPARATION OF TERMS

Equation 9.28 shows that the integral of a sum of terms is equal to a sum of integrals. This technique is known as separation of terms. In many cases, terms are easily separated. In other cases, the technique of partial frac-tions can be used to obtain individual terms. These techniques are illustrated by Ex. 9.3 and Ex. 9.4.

Example 9.3

Find the following integral.

Z ð2x2þ 3Þ2

Find the following integral.

Z 3xþ 2 3x 2dx Solution

The integrand is larger than 1, so use long division to simplify it.

5. DOUBLE AND HIGHER-ORDER INTEGRALS

A function can be successively integrated. (This is anal-ogous to successive differentiation.) A function that is integrated twice is known as a double integral; if inte-grated three times, it is a triple integral; and so on.

Double and triple integrals are used to calculate areas and volumes, respectively.

The successive integrations do not need to be with respect to the same variable. Variables not included in the integration are treated as constants.

There are several notations used for a multiple integral, particularly when the product of length differentials represents a differential area or volume. A double inte-gral (i.e., two successive integrations) can be repre-sented by one of the following notations.

ZZ

A triple integral can be represented by one of the follow-ing notations.

6. INITIAL VALUES

The constant of integration, C, can be found only if the value of the function fðxÞ is known for some value of x0. The value fðx0Þ is known as an initial value or initial condition. To completely define a function, as many initial values, fðx0Þ, f0ðx0Þ, f00ðx0Þ, and so on, as there are integrations are needed.

Example 9.6

It is known that fðxÞ ¼ 4 when x ¼ 2 (i.e., the initial value is fð2Þ ¼ 4). Find the original function.

7. DEFINITE INTEGRALS

A definite integral is restricted to a specific range of the independent variable. (Unrestricted integrals of the types shown in all preceding examples are known as indefinite integrals.) A definite integral restricted to the region bounded by lower and upper limits (also known as bounds), x1and x2, is written as

Z x2 x1

Equation 9.32 indicates how definite integrals are evaluated. It is known as the fundamental theorem of calculus.

11. PAPPUS’ THEOREMS3

The first and second theorems of Pappus are:4

. first theorem: Given a curve, C, that does not inter-sect the y-axis, the area of the surface of revolution generated by revolving C around the y-axis is equal to the product of the length of the curve and the circumference of the circle traced by the centroid of curve C.

13. VOLUME OF REVOLUTION

The volume obtained by rotating fðxÞ about the x-axis is given by Eq. 9.41. f2ðxÞ is the square of the function, not the second derivative. Equation 9.41 is known as the method of discs.

V ¼ pZ x¼b x¼a

f2ðxÞdx 9:41

The volume obtained by rotating fðxÞ about the y-axis can be found from Eq. 9.41 (i.e., using the method of discs) by rewriting the limits and equation in terms of y, or alternatively, the method of shells can be used, result-ing in the second form of Eq. 9.42.

14. MOMENTS OF A FUNCTION

The first moment of a function is a concept used in finding centroids and centers of gravity. Equation 9.43 and Eq. 9.44 are for one- and two-dimensional problems,

respectively. It is the exponent of x (1 in this case) that gives the moment its name.

15. FOURIER SERIES

Any periodic waveform can be written as the sum of an infinite number of sinusoidal terms, known as harmonic terms (i.e., an infinite series). Such a sum of terms is known as a Fourier series, and the process of finding the terms is Fourier analysis. (Extracting the original wave-form from the series is known as Fourier inversion.) Since most series converge rapidly, it is possible to obtain a good approximation to the original waveform with a limited number of sinusoidal terms.

Fourier’s theorem is Eq. 9.47.5The object of a Fourier analysis is to determine the coefficients anand bn. The constant a0can often be determined by inspection since it is the average value of the waveform.

fðtÞ ¼ a0þa1cos!t þ a2cos 2!t þ   

þ b1sin!t þ b2sin 2!t þ    9:47

! is the natural (fundamental) frequency of the wave-form. It depends on the actual waveform period, T.

! ¼2p

T 9:48

To simplify the analysis, the time domain can be nor-malized to the radian scale. The nornor-malized scale is obtained by dividing all frequencies by !. Then the Fourier series becomes

fðtÞ ¼ a0þ a1cos tþ a2cos 2tþ   

þ b1sin tþ b2sin 2tþ    9:49

5The independent variable used in this section is t, since Fourier analysis is most frequently used in the time domain.

BackgroundandSupport

The coefficients an and bnare found from the following

While Eq. 9.51 and Eq. 9.52 are always valid, the work of integrating and finding an and bn can be greatly simplified if the waveform is recognized as being sym-metrical. Table 9.1 summarizes the simplifications.

Example 9.11

Find the first four terms of a Fourier series that approx-imates the repetitive step function illustrated.

fðtÞ ¼ 1 0< t < p

This value of 1=2 corresponds to the average value of fðtÞ. It could have been found by observation.

16. FAST FOURIER TRANSFORMS

Many mathematical operations are needed to imple-ment a true Fourier transform. While the terms of a Fourier series might be slowly derived by integration, a faster method is needed to analyze real-time data. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) is a computer algorithm implemented in spectrum analyzers (signal analyzers or FFT analyzers) and replaces integration and multiplica-tion operamultiplica-tions with table look-ups and addimultiplica-tions.6 Since the complexity of the transform is reduced, the transformation occurs more quickly, enabling efficient analysis of waveforms with little or no periodicity.7 Using a spectrum analyzer requires choosing the fre-quency band (e.g., 0–20 kHz) to be monitored. (This step automatically selects the sampling period. The lower the frequencies sampled, the longer the sam-pling period.) If they are not fixed by the analyzer, the numbers of time-dependent input variable sam-ples (e.g., 1024) and frequency-dependent output variable values (e.g., 400) are chosen.8There are half as many frequency lines as data points because each line contains two pieces of information—real (ampli-tude) and imaginary (phase). The resolution of the resulting frequency analysis is

17. INTEGRAL FUNCTIONS

Integrals that cannot be evaluated as finite combinations of elementary functions are called integral functions.

These functions are evaluated by series expansion. Some of the more common functions are listed as follows.9 . integral sine function

SiðxÞ ¼Z x

. integral cosine function CiðxÞ ¼Z x

. integral exponential function EiðxÞ ¼Z x

CEin Eq. 9.55 and Eq. 9.56 is Euler’s constant.

6Spectrum analysis, also known as frequency analysis, signature analy-sis, and time-series analyanaly-sis, develops a relationship (usually graphi-cal) between some property (e.g., amplitude or phase shift) versus frequency.

7Hours and days of manual computations are compressed into milliseconds.

8Two samples per time-dependent cycle (at the maximum frequency) is the lower theoretical limit for sampling, but the practical minimum rate is approximately 2.5 samples per cycle. This will ensure that alias components (i.e., low-level frequency signals) do not show up in the frequency band of interest.

9Other integral functions include the Fresnel integral, gamma func-tion, and elliptic integral.
