Download or read book The Generalized Riemann Integral written by Robert M. McLeod and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1980-12-31 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Generalized Riemann Integral is addressed to persons who already have an acquaintance with integrals they wish to extend and to the teachers of generations of students to come. The organization of the work will make it possible for the first group to extract the principal results without struggling through technical details which they may find formidable or extraneous to their purposes. The technical level starts low at the opening of each chapter. Thus, readers may follow each chapter as far as they wish and then skip to the beginning of the next. To readers who do wish to see all the details of the arguments, they are given. The generalized Riemann integral can be used to bring the full power of the integral within the reach of many who, up to now, haven't gotten a glimpse of such results as monotone and dominated convergence theorems. As its name hints, the generalized Riemann integral is defined in terms of Riemann sums. The path from the definition to theorems exhibiting the full power of the integral is direct and short.

Download or read book Generalized Integral Transforms In Mathematical Finance written by Andrey Itkin and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes several techniques, first invented in physics for solving problems of heat and mass transfer, and applies them to various problems of mathematical finance defined in domains with moving boundaries. These problems include: (a) semi-closed form pricing of options in the one-factor models with time-dependent barriers (Bachelier, Hull-White, CIR, CEV); (b) analyzing an interconnected banking system in the structural credit risk model with default contagion; (c) finding first hitting time density for a reducible diffusion process; (d) describing the exercise boundary of American options; (e) calculating default boundary for the structured default problem; (f) deriving a semi-closed form solution for optimal mean-reverting trading strategies; to mention but some.The main methods used in this book are generalized integral transforms and heat potentials. To find a semi-closed form solution, we need to solve a linear or nonlinear Volterra equation of the second kind and then represent the option price as a one-dimensional integral. Our analysis shows that these methods are computationally more efficient than the corresponding finite-difference methods for the backward or forward Kolmogorov PDEs (partial differential equations) while providing better accuracy and stability.We extend a large number of known results by either providing solutions on complementary or extended domains where the solution is not known yet or modifying these techniques and applying them to new types of equations, such as the Bessel process. The book contains several novel results broadly applicable in physics, mathematics, and engineering.

Johnson and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1986 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic purpose of the paper is to construct, for the indicated integrals, series expansions in terms of finite multiple integrals of increasing multiplicity ("generalized Dyson series''). The authors study in detail the character of these expansions in the case when the measure [lowercase Greek]Eta = [lowercase Greek]Mu + [lowercase Greek]Nu contains, in addition to a continuous part [lowercase Greek]Mu, a discrete part [lowercase Greek]Nu as well. Using generalized Feynman diagrams they give a graphical description of the expansions obtained; they also describe the Banach algebra generated by the functionals under consideration and establish connections with Feynman's operational calculus.

This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main aim of this book is to analyze the mathematical fundamentals and the main features of the Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) and Generalized Integral Quadrature (GIQ) techniques. Furthermore, another interesting aim of the present book is to shown that from the two numerical techniques mentioned above it is possible to derive two different approaches such as the Strong and Weak Finite Element Methods (SFEM and WFEM), that will be used to solve various structural problems and arbitrarily shaped structures. A general approach to the Differential Quadrature is proposed. The weighting coefficients for different basis functions and grid distributions are determined. Furthermore, the expressions of the principal approximating polynomials and grid distributions, available in the literature, are shown. Besides the classic orthogonal polynomials, a new class of basis functions, which depend on the radial distance between the discretization points, is presented. They are known as Radial Basis Functions (or RBFs). The general expressions for the derivative evaluation can be utilized in the local form to reduce the computational cost. From this concept the Local Generalized Differential Quadrature (LGDQ) method is derived. The Generalized Integral Quadrature (GIQ) technique can be used employing several basis functions, without any restriction on the point distributions for the given definition domain. To better underline these concepts some classical numerical integration schemes are reported, such as the trapezoidal rule or the Simpson method. An alternative approach based on Taylor series is also illustrated to approximate integrals. This technique is named as Generalized Taylor-based Integral Quadrature (GTIQ) method. The major structural theories for the analysis of the mechanical behavior of various structures are presented in depth in the book. In particular, the strong and weak formulations of the corresponding governing equations are discussed and illustrated. Generally speaking, two formulations of the same system of governing equations can be developed, which are respectively the strong and weak (or variational) formulations. Once the governing equations that rule a generic structural problem are obtained, together with the corresponding boundary conditions, a differential system is written. In particular, the Strong Formulation (SF) of the governing equations is obtained. The differentiability requirement, instead, is reduced through a weighted integral statement if the corresponding Weak Formulation (WF) of the governing equations is developed. Thus, an equivalent integral formulation is derived, starting directly from the previous one. In particular, the formulation in hand is obtained by introducing a Lagrangian approximation of the degrees of freedom of the problem. The need of studying arbitrarily shaped domains or characterized by mechanical and geometrical discontinuities leads to the development of new numerical approaches that divide the structure in finite elements. Then, the strong form or the weak form of the fundamental equations are solved inside each element. The fundamental aspects of this technique, which the author defined respectively Strong Formulation Finite Element Method (SFEM) and Weak Formulation Finite Element Method (WFEM), are presented in the book.

Download or read book Integral Transformations Operational Calculus and Generalized Functions written by R.G. Buschman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not the object of the author to present comprehensive cov erage of any particular integral transformation or of any particular development of generalized functions, for there are books available in which this is done. Rather, this consists more of an introductory survey in which various ideas are explored. The Laplace transforma tion is taken as the model type of an integral transformation and a number of its properties are developed; later, the Fourier transfor mation is introduced. The operational calculus of Mikusinski is pre sented as a method of introducing generalized functions associated with the Laplace transformation. The construction is analogous to the construction of the rational numbers from the integers. Further on, generalized functions associated with the problem of extension of the Fourier transformation are introduced. This construction is anal ogous to the construction of the reals from the rationals by means of Cauchy sequences. A chapter with sections on a variety of trans formations is adjoined. Necessary levels of sophistication start low in the first chapter, but they grow considerably in some sections of later chapters. Background needs are stated at the beginnings of each chapter. Many theorems are given without proofs, which seems appro priate for the goals in mind. A selection of references is included. Without showing many of the details of rigor it is hoped that a strong indication is given that a firm mathematical foundation does actu ally exist for such entities as the "Dirac delta-function".

Download or read book Generalized Calculus with Applications to Matter and Forces written by Luis Manuel Braga de Costa Campos and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-04-18 with total page 888 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining mathematical theory, physical principles, and engineering problems, Generalized Calculus with Applications to Matter and Forces examines generalized functions, including the Heaviside unit jump and the Dirac unit impulse and its derivatives of all orders, in one and several dimensions. The text introduces the two main approaches to generalized functions: (1) as a nonuniform limit of a family of ordinary functions, and (2) as a functional over a set of test functions from which properties are inherited. The second approach is developed more extensively to encompass multidimensional generalized functions whose arguments are ordinary functions of several variables. As part of a series of books for engineers and scientists exploring advanced mathematics, Generalized Calculus with Applications to Matter and Forces presents generalized functions from an applied point of view, tackling problem classes such as: Gauss and Stokes’ theorems in the differential geometry, tensor calculus, and theory of potential fields Self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint problems for linear differential equations and nonlinear problems with large deformations Multipolar expansions and Green’s functions for elastic strings and bars, potential and rotational flow, electro- and magnetostatics, and more This third volume in the series Mathematics and Physics for Science and Technology is designed to complete the theory of functions and its application to potential fields, relating generalized functions to broader follow-on topics like differential equations. Featuring step-by-step examples with interpretations of results and discussions of assumptions and their consequences, Generalized Calculus with Applications to Matter and Forces enables readers to construct mathematical–physical models suited to new observations or novel engineering devices.

Download or read book GENERALIZED INTEGRAL TRANSFORMS OF DISTRIBUTIONS written by Dr. B. B. Waphare and published by Lulu Publication. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.1 Introduction In recent years, integral transforms have become essential working tools of every engineer and applied scientist. The Laplace transform, which undoubtedly is the most familiar example, is being suited to solving boundary value problems. The classical methods of solution of initial and boundary value problems in physics and engineering sciences have their roots in Fourier’s pioneering work. An alternative approach through integral transforms methods emerged primarily through Heaviside’s efforts on operational techniques. In addition to being of great theoretical interest to mathematicians, integral transform methods have been found to provide easy and effective ways of solving a variety of problems arising in engineering and physical science. The use of integral transforms is somewhat analogous to that of logarithms. That is, a problem involving multiplication or division can be reduced to one involving simple processes addition or subtraction by taking logarithms. For almost two centuries the method of function transformations has been used successfully in solving many problems in engineering, mathematical physics and applied mathematics. Function transformations include, but are not limited to the well-known technique of linear integral transformations. A function transformation simply means a mathematical operation through which a real or complex valued function f is transformed into an other F, or into a sequence of numbers, or more generally into a set of data. Since its birth in the 1780’s in the work of the great mathematician Laplace, on probability theory, the theory of function transformations has flourished and continues to do so. In the last few years, in particular, it has received a great impetus from the advent of wavelets. Not only is the wavelet transform an example of how practical function transformations can be, but it is also an example of a transformation that has gone beyond what it was designed to do as a technique. It has contributed to the development of modern mathematical analysis just as the Fourier transformation contributed to the advancement of classical analysis in the earliest years of the nineteenth century.

Download or read book Generalized Associated Legendre Functions and Their Applications written by Nina Opanasivna Virchenko and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The various types of special functions have become essential tools for scientists and engineers. One of the important classes of special functions is of the hypergeometric type. It includes all classical hypergeometric functions such as the well-known Gaussian hypergeometric functions, the Bessel, Macdonald, Legendre, Whittaker, Kummer, Tricomi and Wright functions, the generalized hypergeometric functions ? Fq, Meijer's G -function, Fox's H -function, etc. Application of the new special functions allows one to increase considerably the number of problems whose solutions are found in a closed form, to examine these solutions, and to investigate the relationships between different classes of the special functions. This book deals with the theory and applications of generalized associated Legendre functions of the first and the second kind, P m, n ? ( z ) and Q m, n ? ( z ), which are important representatives of the hypergeometric functions. They occur as generalizations of classical Legendre functions of the first and the second kind respectively. The authors use various methods of contour integration to obtain important properties of the generalized associated Legnedre functions as their series representations, asymptotic formulas in a neighborhood of singular points, zero properties, connection with Jacobi functions, Bessel functions, elliptic integrals and incomplete beta functions. The book also presents the theory of factorization and composition structure of integral operators associated with the generalized associated Legendre function, the fractional integro-differential properties of the functions P m, n ? ( z ) and Q m, n ? ( z ), the classes of dual and triple integral equations associated with the function P m, n -1/2+i?
