Partial Fraction - Application To Symbolic Integration

Application To Symbolic Integration

For the purpose of symbolic integration, the preceding result may be refined into

Let ƒ and g be nonzero polynomials over a field K. Write g as a product of powers of pairwise coprime polynomials which have no multiple root in an algebraically closed field:

There are (unique) polynomials b and c ij with deg c ij < deg p i such that
\frac{f}{g}=b+\sum_{i=1}^k\sum_{j=2}^{n_i}\left(\frac{c_{ij}}{p_i^{j-1}}\right)' + \sum_{i=1}^k \frac{c_{i1}}{p_i}.
where denotes the derivative of

This reduces the computation of the antiderivative of a rational function to the integration of the last sum, with is called the logarithmic part, because its antiderivative is a linear combination of logarithms.

Famous quotes containing the words application to, application, symbolic and/or integration:

    “It would be disingenuous, however, not to point out that some things are considered as morally certain, that is, as having sufficient certainty for application to ordinary life, even though they may be uncertain in relation to the absolute power of God.”
    —René Descartes (1596–1650)

    “I conceive that the leading characteristic of the nineteenth century has been the rapid growth of the scientific spirit, the consequent application of scientific methods of investigation to all the problems with which the human mind is occupied, and the correlative rejection of traditional beliefs which have proved their incompetence to bear such investigation.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “The act of bellringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
    —Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
