Carlson Symmetric Form - Special Cases

Special Cases

When any two, or all three of the arguments of are the same, then a substitution of renders the integrand rational. The integral can then be expressed in terms of elementary transcendental functions.

R_{C}(x,y) = R_{F}(x,y,y) = \frac{1}{2} \int _{0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{t + x} (t + y)} dt = \int _{\sqrt{x}}^{\infty}\frac{1}{u^{2} - x + y} du = \begin{cases} \frac{\arccos \sqrt{\frac{x}{y}}}{\sqrt{y - x}}, & x < y \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{y}}, & x = y \\ \frac{\mathrm{arccosh} \sqrt{\frac{x}{y}}}{\sqrt{x - y}}, & x > y \\ \end{cases}

Similarly, when at least two of the first three arguments of are the same,

R_{J}(x,y,y,p) = 3 \int _{\sqrt{x}}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(u^{2} - x + y) (u^{2} - x + p)} du = \begin{cases} \frac{3}{p - y} (R_{C}(x,y) - R_{C}(x,p)), & y \ne p \\ \frac{3}{2 (y - x)} \left( R_{C}(x,y) - \frac{1}{y} \sqrt{x}\right), & y = p \ne x \\ \frac{1}{y^{\frac{3}{2}}}, &y = p = x \\ \end{cases}

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or cases:

    “The universal social pressure upon women to be all alike, and do all the same things, and to be content with identical restrictions, has resulted not only in terrible suffering in the lives of exceptional women, but also in the loss of unmeasured feminine values in special gifts. The Drama of the Woman of Genius has too often been a tragedy of misshapen and perverted power.”
    —Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)

    “To think is of itself to be useful; it is always and in all cases a striving toward God.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
