Integrals with variable limits

APPENDIX METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF INTEGRALS WITH VARIABLE LIMITS... 

On occasion we will encounter cases where differentials or derivatives must be taken of integrals with variable limits. Three such situations are of importance ... 

The differentiations called for in the last two equations again involve integrals with variable limits. For simplicity, we now assume that the integrands s and V are uniform throughout the sample then on equating (5.7.21) and (5.7.22) we may write... 

Here we encounter the persistent problem of having to deal with differentials or derivatives of integrals with variable limits. Procedures for dealing with this problem were detailed in Section 1.3. On applying this method, using Eq. (1.3.36), one may rewrite the above as... 

Step 4. The only dependence on y in the integral of (8-136) is found in the upper limit of integration, because yo is constant. Hence, the Leibnitz rule for differentiating a one-dimensional integral with variable limits yields ... 

Each of the three derivatives on the right side of this equation is evaluated separately, where the Leibnitz rule for differentiating an integral with variable limits is employed for (dP/d ) o- For example. 

We now separate the variables and integrate with the limit V = 0 when X = G to obtain the plug-flow reactor volume necessary to achieve a specified conversion X ... 

Integral equations are equations that contain the integral of the unknown functions. There are two types of integral equations Volteira and Fredholm integral equations. Fredholm equations feature integrals with fixed limits, while Volterra equations have integrals in which the limits of integration are the independent variables. These equations can be obtained by direct formulation or by the reduction of differential equations. Volterra equations are reduced from initial-value problems, and Fredholm equations from boundary-value problems. 

Boundary condition (1) is employed for the lower integration limit in the following expression, and elements of the Leibnitz rule for differentiating an integral with variable upper limits are invoked to change the integration variable from to z. One obtains... 

The method de.scribed above may be slightly modified to be applicable to the double integrals with variable inner limits of the form... 

Volterra integral equations have an integral with a variable limit. The Volterra equation of the second land is... 

The RDM s are therefore much simpler objects than the A-electron Wave Function (WF) which depends on the variables of N electrons. Unfortunately, the search for the 7V-representability conditions has not been completed and this has hindered the direct use of the RDM s in Quantum Chemistry. In 1963 A. J. Coleman [4] defined the A -representability conditions as the limitations of an RDM due to the fact that it is derived by contraction from a matrix represented in the N-electron space. In other words, an antisymmetric A-electron WF must exist from which this RDM could have been derived by integrating with respect to a set of electron variables. 

The last two integrals of the previous equation are expressed in dimensionless variables, c = c/cq, z = z/L with normalized limits (0,1), while the symbol An is the absorption number of the drug ... 

Figure 7 Plot of S Li versus B/Be. Data points are from the Panama arc segment (Tomascak et al, 2000) the shaded field represents data from the Sunda, Kurile, and Aleutian arcs (Tomascak et al, 2002), and the northern Central American arc (Chan et al, 2001). Curves represent schematic mixing arrays between a high B/Be slab component and a component (presumed to be the mantle) with variable Li-isotopic ratio. Li-isotopic ratios in most arcs span a very limited range (a Li = 4-2 to - -5%o), essentially indistinguishable from MORBs the slab flux in Panama appears to have S Li = - - 5%c. Only where the slab influx is diminished do Li-isotopic variations appear these may reflect heterogeneities in the mantle wedge, possibly accumulated through the time-integrated effects of slab devolatilization.
