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

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...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...
