calculus and analysis - Multiple integrals where the number of integrals is aribtrary


I know that I can do, say, a triple integral such as $$\int_{a_x}^{b_x}\int_{a_y}^{b_y}\int_{a_z}^{b_z}f(x,y,z)\,dz\,dy\,dx$$ with the input Integrate[f[x,y,z],{x,ax,bx},{y,ay,by},{z,az,bz}].





Now, however, I would like to do a multiple integral of the form $$\int_{a_1}^{b_1}\cdots\int_{a_n}^{b_n}f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\,dx_n\,\ldots\,dx_1$$ for some $n$ that I specify. Is there a concise functional way to input this into Mathematica, or is the only way to manually type the full Integrate[f[x1,...,xn],{x1,a1,b1},...,{xn,an,bn}]. command?



Answer



Here is another way:


multi[f_, x_, a_, b_, n_] := 
Inactive@Integrate @@ {f @@ Array[x[#] &, {n}]}~Join~Array[{x[#], a[#], b[#]} &, {n}]

I used Inactive because I don't know if the purpose is purely typesetting, or if you want it to try to evaluate (if so remove it, or use Activate later).


multi[g, y, ymin, ymax, 10]
(* Inactive[Integrate][
g[y[1], y[2], y[3], y[4], y[5], y[6], y[7], y[8], y[9],

y[10]], {y[1], ymin[1], ymax[1]}, {y[2], ymin[2], ymax[2]}, {y[3],
ymin[3], ymax[3]}, {y[4], ymin[4], ymax[4]}, {y[5], ymin[5],
ymax[5]}, {y[6], ymin[6], ymax[6]}, {y[7], ymin[7], ymax[7]}, {y[8],
ymin[8], ymax[8]}, {y[9], ymin[9], ymax[9]}, {y[10], ymin[10],
ymax[10]}] *)

perhaps a screenshot here is better:

If its just for typesetting then you can swap subscripts into it as follows:

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
