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


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


\begin{equation} \int_0^\infty\int_0^\infty \int_0^\infty \frac{1}{R\,G} e^{-p(1+R\,a)-q\, b \frac{1+R\, a}{1+G\, x}}\, e^{\frac{-a}{R}}\, e^{-b}\, e^{\frac{-x}{G}} db\,dx \,da \end{equation}


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

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...

calculus and analysis - Integral of the Sinc product

Let us consider the following integral $$ B_n = \int_0^\infty \prod_{k=1,3,5,\dots}^n\frac{\sin (x/k)}{x/k}dx $$ By definition, Sinc[x] == Sin[x]/x , therefore B[n_?OddQ] := Integrate[Product[Sinc[x/k], {k, 1, n, 2}], {x, 0, Infinity}] B /@ Range[1, 13, 2] {Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2} OK, everything is fine. But... B[15] 467807924713440738696537864469 Pi/935615849440640907310521750000 What's going on? Answer As Eckhard wrote in comments B[n] is the n-th Borwein integral . (The letter B was not accidental :) ) This funny properties of Borwein integrals is related to the Fourier transform of Sinc function FourierTransform[Sinc[x], x, k] 1/2 Sqrt[Pi/2] (Sign[1 - k] + Sign[1 + k]) Plot[%, {k, -2, 2}, Filling -> 0] which is the box function. The result is $\pi/2$ while the sum $$ 1/3+1/5+\dots+1/n $$ B_n = \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi \bigg(\sum_{k=3,5,\ldots}^n\frac{1}{k} -1\biggr)^\frac{n-1}{2}\prod_{k=3,5,\dots}^n\frac{k}{k-1}. $$ For $n=15$ it is equal to $$ \frac{46780...
