45.1 Calculation of Double Integrals

Core Idea: Transform a double integral into the calculation of a definite integral in one variable, simplifying the calculation method;

Method Selection

  • Choose methods based on the following:
  • 1. integrand;
  • 2. Scoring area;

Suitable for polar coordinates

  • (1) Integrands suitable for polar coordinates calculations
  • Formula:
  • $$f(x^2+y^2),f(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}),f(\frac yx),f(\frac xy)$$
  • Cause:
  • $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ is more complex in the Cartesian coordinate system, but represents ρ in polar coordinates
  • $\frac yx$ In polar coordinates, it represents an angle
  • (2) Integration fields suitable for polar coordinates
  • $$x^{2}+y^{2}\leq R^{2};\quad\quad\quad r^{2}\leq x^{2}+y^{2}\leq R^{2};\quad\quad\quad\\x^{2}+y^{2}\leq2ax;\quad\quad\quad x^{2}+y^{2}\leq2by;$$
  • Note:
  • When the center is not at the origin, $x-x_0$ can be set to $\rho\sin\theta$, and similarly, $y-y_0$
  • If (1) and (2) have a conflict, (1) takes precedence

45.2 Calculation Using Cartesian Coordinate System

#####Theorem: Doubleintegrationcalculationbasedonrectangularcoordinatesystem

description:
(1) First Y Later X: $$\int\int_D{f(x,y)d\sigma = \int_{a}^{b}[\int_{y_{1}(x)}^{y_{2}(x)}f(x,y)dy]dx}$$
Area: $\begin{aligned}\varphi_1(x)&\leq y\leq\varphi_2(x)\cdot\\a&\leq x\leq b\end{aligned}$
$\varphi_1(x)\leq y\leq\varphi_2(x)$ represents the range of x values, which is the function of x with respect to y, and $\varphi_1(x)$ is the actual value of y equal to.
(2) First X Later Y: $$\iint_Df(x,y)\mathrm{d}\sigma=\int_c^ddy\int_{\psi_1(y)}^{\psi_2(y)}f(x,y)dx$$
Area: $\begin{aligned}\Psi(y)&\leq X\leq\Psi_2(y)\\c&\leq y\leq d\end{aligned}$

Method: Set the points limit;

  • When Y comes first, then X:
  • dy upper and lower integral limits ->Draw a ray from bottom to top, with the lower end of the ray being the dy lower limit of integration and the upper end of the ray being the upper limit of the integral of dy;
  • dx upper and lower limits of integration -> Observe the graph to see the range of x values;
  • When X comes first, then Y:
  • The upper and lower limits of dx integration ->Draw a ray from left to right, with the left end of the ray as the dx lower limit and the upper end as the dx lower limit;
  • dy upper and lower limits of integration -> Observe the image and see therangeof y;

Explanation

  • Concept:
  • Both can be used; choose whichever is more convenient for calculation;
  • First Y X:
  • Concept:
  • $\int_{a}^{b}[\int_{y_{1}(x)}^{y_{2}(x)}f(x,y)dy]dx$ or $\int_a^b\mathbf{d}x\int_{y_1(x)}^{y_2(x)}f(x,y)\operatorname{d}y.$
  • Reasoning:
  • 1. First, find the cross-sectional area: $S(x)=\int_{y_1(x)}^{y_2(x)}f(x,y)\mathsf{d}y.$
  • 2. Then, for the curved edge body area, solve: $V=\int_a^bS(x)\operatorname{d}x$
  • 3. Merging the two: $\int_{a}^{b}[\int_{y_{1}(x)}^{y_{2}(x)}f(x,y)dy]dx$

  • Illustration:
  • Study-note illustration: 45.2 Calculation Using Cartesian Coordinate System
  • Convert to two single-invariant integrals with x before y;
  • Formula: $\begin{aligned}\iint_{(\sigma)}f(x,y)\operatorname{d}\sigma&=\int_c^d[\int_{x_1(y)}^{x_2(y)}f(x,y)dx]\operatorname{d}y\\\\&=\int_c^d\operatorname{d}\left.y\right]_{x_1(y)}^{x_2(y)}f(x,y)\operatorname{d}x.\end{aligned}$
  • Non-X and non-Y regions
  • Illustration
  • Study-note illustration: 45.2 Calculation Using Cartesian Coordinate System
  • Concept:
  • A complex double integral of a non-X and non-Y figure;
  • Method:
  • Canbe converted by partitioning to: sum of multiple X-types and multiple Y-types;

45.3 Calculation Using Polar Coordinates

#####Theorem: Doubleintegralcalculationbasedonpolarcoordinates

description: $$\text{ First }\rho\text{ Afterwards }\theta\quad\iint_Df (x, y)\mathrm{d}\sigma=\int_\alpha^\beta d\theta\int_{\varphi_1 (\theta)}^{\varphi_2 (\theta)}f (\rho\cos\theta,\rho\sin\theta)\rho d\rho$$
Area: $\begin{aligned}\varphi_1(0)&\leq p\leq\varphi_2(0)\\\alpha&\leq\theta\leq\beta.\end{aligned}$

Explanation

  • Note:
  • When integrating with $\rho$, $\theta$ in the expression can be regarded as a constant. Similarly, when integrating with $\theta$;
  • Supplement:
  • The contents of a function can be divided into two integrals for calculation;
  • $\iint_D\frac{x\sin (\pi\sqrt{x^2+y^2})}{x+y}dxdy=\int_0^{\frac\pi 2}\frac{\cos\theta}{\cos\theta+\sin\theta}d\theta\cdot\int_1^2\rho\sin (\pi\rho) d\rho$
  • $\Delta\sigma=\frac12[(\rho+\Delta\rho)^2\Delta\theta-\rho^2\Delta\theta]$ = $\rho\Delta\rho\Delta\theta+\frac12(\Lambda\rho)^2\Delta\theta.$

45.4 Calculation Using Symmetry and Parity

45.4.1 Parity

Concepts: When Y is symmetrical, look at X; when about X, look at Y;

Property One: If the integral D relation Y axial, then the function is evenly X:

  • If the function with respect to X is even, it doubles; If the function with respect to X is odd, it is 0;
  • $$\iint\limits_{D}f(x,y)d\sigma=\begin{cases}2\iint\limits_{D_{x\geq0}}f(x,y)\mathrm{d}\sigma;&f(-x,y)=f(x,y)\\0;&f(-x,y)=-f(x,y)\end{cases}$$

Property Two: If the integral D relation X axiosymmetric, then the function has parity with respect to Y:

  • $$\iint\limits_{D}f(x,y)d\sigma=\begin{cases}2\iint\limits_{D_{y_{z_0}}}f(x,y)\mathrm{d}\sigma&f(x,-y)=f(x,y)\\0&f(x,-y)=-f(x,y)\end{cases}$$

45.4.2 Symmetry

#####Theorem: Variablesymmetryofdoubleintegrals

description: $$\text{ If }D\text{ About }y=x\text{ Symmetric, then }\quad\iint_Df(x,y)\mathrm{d}\sigma=\iint_Df(y,x)\mathrm{d}\sigma $$

Explanation

  • The integration field is the same, where the independent variable is swapped;
  • Because the point of $(x,y)$ symmetric about y=x is $(y,x)$

Inference: A more generalized conclusion

  • $$\int\int_{D(x,y)} f(x,y)\mathrm{d}x\mathrm{d}y=\int\int_{D(u,v)} f(u,v)\mathrm{d}u\mathrm{d}v=\int\int_{D(y,x)} f(y,x)\mathrm{d}y\mathrm{d}x$$

45.5 Frequently Tested Question Types

PART 1: Problem-solving methods

Problem-solving steps: Example $\text{ Exchange cumulative points }\int_0^1dx\int_{x^2}^{2-x}f(x,y)dy\text{ The order }$

  • Step 1: Draw the domain
  • Study-note illustration: PART 1: Problem solving methods
  • Step 2: After drawing the domain, define the domain in another order

  • Additional note: If it's hard to calculate after swapping order, consider using polar coordinates;
