In trying to reproduce results from one paper I stumbled upon a problem with definition of some elliptic integrals (this is my guess of what could be the problem).
I will first present in a simplified form what I am trying to calculate, details are in the original paper (PRL 99, 226801, see Google Scholar for PDF)
The goal is to compute the following 2D integral
I(k)=−∬Ωcd2→q4πq(1−cosθ(→k,→k−→q)),
where θ(→a,→b) is the angle between →a and →b, q=|→q|. For those who would like to compare with the paper, this is essentially Eq.(2a), where for simplicity I set e=κ=1, selected the case s=1 and substituted all the definitions into one equation.
The integration domain is Ωc:|k|≤kc, where kc is a positive number.
The analytic result is known to be [cf. Eq. (3a)]:
I(k)=1πkc[h(k/kc)−f(k/kc)],I(0)=−12kc.
Assuming, we want to know the result for $k
f(x)=E(x),h(x)=x[π4log(4/x)−π8]−x∫x0dyy−3[K(y)−E(y)−π4y2].
What is disturbing is that I was not able verify the integral numerically.
In the following, I will first rewrite all the equations in MA language.
i[1]=Integrate[EllipticK[y^2]-EllipticE[y^2],{y,0,1/x},
Assumptions->x>1]
i[2]=Integrate[(EllipticK[y^2]-EllipticE[y^2]-Ï€/4 y^2)/y^3,{y,0,x},
Assumptions->0<=x<=1]
f[x_]=EllipticE[x^2]
h[x_]=x(Ï€/4Log[4/x]-Ï€/8)-x i[2]
Notice, it takes a while to compute i[2]
. Now, we will be interested in the ΔI(k)=I(k)−I(0) function
xi[k_,kc_]:=kc/Ï€(h[k/kc]-f[k/kc])
Δxi[k_,kc_]:=xi[k,kc]+kc/2
Now we define the numerical integral (adding a small cut-off a
) transforming it to polar coordinates and assuming →k∥→ex
Δni[k_?NumericQ,kc_?NumericQ,a_?NumericQ]:=1/(4 π) NIntegrate[((k- q Cos[θ])/Sqrt[k^2+q^2-2 k q Cos[θ]]),{q,a,kc},{θ,0,2π},PrecisionGoal->4]
and compare
dataI=Table[{k,Δni[k,30,10^-5]},{k,0.1,2,0.1}]
Plot[Δxi[k,30],{k,0,2},Epilog->{PointSize[Medium],Point[dataI]},PlotRange->{0,2.3}]
The points should exactly fall onto the analytic curve, but they are not... I would be happy with any of the answers:
- showing how the integral can be computed analytically with MA starting from the definition (basically confirming that my interpretation of the formula in the paper is correct),
- fixing a problem with MA numerics.
Notice, I can easily verify Fig.1 of that paper with MA. But the integral considered here is not plotted there.
Answer
The article "Density Dependent Exchange Contribution to ∂μ/∂n and Compressibility in Graphene" by E.H. Hwang,Ben Yu-Kuang Hu, and S. Das Sarma has a typo in the definition of h (there must be a plus before π8). After correction, the results match (I wrote down the finished results for the integrals, so as not to waste time every time to calculate them)
