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:

    “History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    “Colonel, never go out to meet trouble. If you will just sit still, nine cases out of ten someone will intercept it before it reaches you.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
