calculus and analysis - How can I simplify a triple integral with exponentials?


I want to simplify the following triple integral with exponential terms.


∫∞0∫∞0∫∞01RGe−p(1+Ra)−qb1+Ra1+Gxe−aRe−be−xGdbdxda


where I assume R>0, G>0, p>0 and q>0.


Using both commands Simplify and FullSimplify, Mathematica after hours didn't get any solution. I tried two versions of Mathematica, 7 and 10, but nothing changes. Is there any smart way to make a simplification?


Here is my Mathematica code:


Simplify[
Integrate[

Integrate[
Integrate[
1/(R G) Exp[-p(1 + R a) - b q ((1 + R a)/(1 + G x))]
Exp[-a/R] Exp[-b] Exp[-x/G],
{b, 0, ∞}],
{x, 0, ∞}],
{a, 0, ∞},
Assumptions -> G > 0 && R > 0 && p > 0 && q > 0 ]]

Answer



With using number of assumptions, and breaking thing step by step: (I do things step by step, just to see where the problem is when it shows up, much easier to debug this way)



integrand = 1/(r g) Exp[-p (1 + r a) - b q ((1 + r a)/(1 + g x))] 
Exp[-a/r] Exp[-b] Exp[-x/g];

z0 = Assuming[Re[(1 + q + a q r + g x)/(1 + g x)] > 0,
Integrate[integrand, {b, 0, Infinity}]]

Mathematica graphics


z1 = Integrate[z0, x];
lower = Limit[z1, x -> 0];
upper = Assuming[g > 0 && r > 0 && a > 0 && p > 0 && q > 0, Limit[z1, x -> Infinity]];

z1 = upper - lower

Mathematica graphics


z2 = Integrate[z1, a]
lower = Limit[z2, a -> 0]

Mathematica graphics


upper = Assuming[g > 0 && r > 0 && a > 0 && p > 0 && q > 0,Limit[z2, a -> Infinity]]

Mathematica graphics



final = upper - lower

You might want to check that these assumptions used in each step are consistent.


updated To make it easier to use the above, here is the code in one cell


ClearAll[r , g, p, a, x]
integrand = 1/(r g) Exp[-p (1 + r a) - b q ((1 + r a)/(1 + g x))] Exp[-a/r] Exp[-b] Exp[-x/g];
z0 = Assuming[Re[(1 + q + a q r + g x)/(1 + g x)] > 0, Integrate[integrand, {b, 0, Infinity}]];
z1 = Integrate[z0, x];
lower = Limit[z1, x -> 0];

upper = Assuming[g > 0 && r > 0 && a > 0 && p > 0 && q > 0, Limit[z1, x -> Infinity]];
z1 = upper - lower;
z2 = Integrate[z1, a];
lower = Limit[z2, a -> 0];
upper = Assuming[g > 0 && r > 0 && a > 0 && p > 0 && q > 0, Limit[z2, a -> Infinity]];
final = upper - lower

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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}]
