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:

    “And weren’t there special cemetery flowers,
    That, once grief sets to growing, grief may rest:
    The flowers will go on with grief awhile,
    And no one seem neglecting or neglected?
    A prudent grief will not despise such aids.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “And in cases where profound conviction has been wrought, the eloquent man is he who is no beautiful speaker, but who is inwardly drunk with a certain belief. It agitates and tears him, and perhaps almost bereaves him of the power of articulation.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
