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

Mathematica graphics


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...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
