Re: MX2 2015 Integration Marathon

Lets get some recurrence formulae up in here.

Next question:

If In = integral between 0 and 1 of (x^n)sqrt(1-x)dx show that In = 4^(n+1) . n!(n+1)!/(2n+3)!

Sorry for my lack of LaTeX

Thx for the link. Just had a go at redoing my solution earlier on it:
$\\ \int { { x }^{ 8 }\sin { { x }^{ 3 } } \cos { { x }^{ 3 }\tan { { x }^{ 3 } } dx } } \\ let\quad u\quad =\quad { x }^{ 3 }\\ \Rightarrow \quad du\quad =\quad 3{ x }^{ 2 }dx\\ \therefore \quad we\quad have:\\ \int { { u }^{ 2 } } { x }^{ 2 }\sin { u } \cos { u } \tan { u } \frac { du }{ 3{ x }^{ 2 } }$

$\\ =\quad \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \int { { u }^{ 2 }\sin { u } \cos { u } \frac { \sin { u } }{ \cos { u } } du } \\ =\quad \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \int { { u }^{ 2 } } \sin ^{ 2 }{ u } du\\ =\quad \frac { 1 }{ 6 } \int { { u }^{ 2 } } (1-\cos { 2u } )du\\ =\frac { 1 }{ 6 } \int { { u }^{ 2 } } du\quad -\quad \frac { 1 }{ 6 } \int { { u }^{ 2 }\cos { 2u } du } \\ Perform\quad IBP$

$\\ =\quad \frac { { u }^{ 3 } }{ 18 } -\frac { 1 }{ 6 } \left\{ { u }^{ 2 }\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \sin { 2u } \quad -\quad \int { 2u\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \sin { 2u } du } \right\} \\ And\quad again...\\ =\quad \frac { { u }^{ 3 } }{ 18 } -\frac { { u }^{ 2 } }{ 12 } \sin { 2u } +\quad \frac { 1 }{ 6 } \left\{ u\frac { -1 }{ 2 } \cos { 2u } \quad -\quad \int { \frac { -1 }{ 2 } \cos { 2u } du } \right\} \\ =\quad \frac { { x }^{ 9 } }{ 18 } \quad -\quad \frac { { x }^{ 6 } }{ 12 } \sin { 2{ x }^{ 3 } } \quad -\quad \frac { { x }^{ 3 } }{ 12 } \cos { 2{ x }^{ 3 } } \quad +\quad \frac { 1 }{ 24 } \sin { 2{ x }^{ 3 } } \quad +\quad C$

I think it's safe to say I won't be using it in the future, too fiddly for someone as lazy as me

= sqrt((sinx + cosx)^2) dx
= |sinx+cosx|

And so you'll now continue by actually doing an integration???

Re: MX2 2015 Integration Marathon

This question is based on your ability to approximate sums by integrals, hence its location in this marathon thread.

Prove that there exist positive constants $C_1,C_2$ such that

$C_1\leq\frac{n!}{n^{n+1/2}e^{-n}}\leq C_2$

for all positive integers $n.$

(In fact, the ratio in this question tends to an exact constant, but proving this convergence without guidance is perhaps a bit much to ask. It is a reasonable enough followup exercise though to calculate this exact constant, given that the ratio does in fact converge.)

Here is a question that concerns inequalities arising from integration. (It is harder conceptually than most questions in this thread, but easier than a lot of them in terms of how technically demanding the required manipulations are.)

$Let $\alpha>0$ be a positive parameter.\\ Show that there exist positive constants $C_1,C_2$ such that: \\ \\ $C_1||z|-1|^{-\alpha}<\int_0^{2\pi} |z-\textrm{cis}(\theta)|^{-\alpha} \, d\theta < C_2||z|-1|^{-\alpha}$ for $|z|\neq 1$.$

(This integral clearly blows up as $z$ approaches the unit circle. The point of the question is to quantify how quickly this happens, which is generally a useful thing to know.)

Probably this one. Will try later today.

Re: MX2 2015 Integration Marathon

That lower bound seems weird, I think the exponents for both bound should be larger...perhaps $1-\alpha$ ? The part of the integration that is blowing up as $d^{-\alpha}$ is shrinking in size...

Anyway, will properly look at it when I get home later.

Well the upper bound has $C_2=2\pi$ sufficient (upper bound has already been established in an earlier post).

Also, can the constants depend on $\alpha$ ?

Sure, but these inequalities are only "good" if the growth rates of the upper and lower bound match...my suspicion is that $d^{-\alpha}$ blows up faster than this integral does. (So we can still find an upper bound of sean's form as you say, but I don't think we can find such a lower bound...so maybe the correct exponent is greater, which sharpens the upper bound we have to prove.)

Edit: Yeah, it looks like the alpha is fixed throughout the question, so everything can depend on it.

$C_2 = e$ by approximating $\int_1^n \ln x$ with n trapeziums each of width 1, I'll post a proper proof later and for the lower bound
