How to switch from continuous to discrete formulation (integral to sum) in a specific case?
in the paper "Economic conditions and the popularity of parties: a survey" Kirchgaessner (1986) transforms a utility function from continuous to discrete. I get the intuition and the meaning,... integration discrete-mathematics summation riemann-sum- 1
Riemann Sum Problem Explanation f(x)=mx on left endpoints using xk
I am learning Riemann when I encountered this question and its solution. Question A curve f(x)=mx in closed interval [a,b] where m>0 and a>=0. Calculate riemann sum of f(x) using xk as left ... calculus riemann-integration riemann-sum- 1
Using Riemann sums to approximate the second antiderivative
I’m currently working on a coding project where I’m given the the net force acting on an object at any time $t$ (meaning I essentially have its acceleration). I know the object’s current position and ... integration riemann-sum- 111
Converting Riemann Sum to Definite Integral with Unequal $\Delta x$ Values
How can I convert this Riemann sum to a definite integral? $$\lim_\limits{n\to\infty}\sum_{i=1}^n\pi\biggl(1.6875+\frac{.75775i}{n}\biggl)^2\frac{1.625}{n}$$ I'm confused because the usual definition ... calculus integration riemann-sum- 33
The sum of integers from a to b represented as the area under a curve
I was trying to find out how to represent the sum of integers between two integers $a$ and $b$ as the area under a curve and this is the equation I came up with: $$\int_{-a}^bx+\frac{1}{2}dx$$ or $$\... integration summation area riemann-sum- 1
Find integral of $\sqrt{x}$ using Riemann sum definition
Let $a > 1$ be a real number. Evaluate the definite integral \begin{equation} \int_{1}^{a} \sqrt{x} \,dx \end{equation} from the Riemann sum definition. My approach I know a Riemann sum consists of ... calculus integration riemann-integration riemann-sum- 73
approximation of integral of $|\cos x|^p$
Let $p\in [1,2)$. Let $$ \beta = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} |\cos x|^p\, dx = \frac{\Gamma(\frac{p+1}{2})}{\sqrt{\pi}\Gamma(1+\frac{p}{2})}. $$ Consider the following approximation to the integral ... definite-integrals numerical-methods approximation riemann-sum- 1,079
$\int_{-2}^xf(t)dt$ for $f(t) = \tiny\begin{cases} -1 \, &t<0 \\ 1 \, &t\ge 0 \end{cases} $, and its limit at $x=0$
Let $f: [-2,2] \to \mathbb R$, $$ f(t) = \begin{cases} -1 \, &t<0 \\ 1 \, &t\ge 0 \end{cases} $$ Define $g: [-2,2] \to \mathbb R$ as: $$g(x) = \int_{-2}^xf(t)dt$$ Plot $g(x)$ and find it'... continuity problem-solving riemann-integration riemann-sum- 131
Is $f(x)=(\sin (1/x))^4$ Riemann integrable on $(0,1]$?
I have shown that $f(x)=\sin(1/x)$ is Riemann integrable on $(0,1]$, but I am wondering if $f(x)=(\sin (1/x))^4$ is Riemann integrable on $(0,1]$? It isn't hard to show that $\sin(1/x)$ is Riemann ... real-analysis calculus integration functions riemann-sum- 1,026

Does there exist such a Riemann integrable function?
Does there exist a Riemann integrable function $f: [a,b] \to \mathbb{R}$ that satisfies the following three criteria? $f(x) \geq 0$ for all $x \in [a,b]$ There exists an infinite set $E \subset [a, b]... real-analysis calculus integration functions riemann-sum- 1,026
How to prove that $g(x)=x^2$ is integrable on $[2,5]$ using regular partitions?
So I've been trying to prove that $g(x)=x^2$ is integrable on the interval $[2,5]$ using regular partitions and the theorem that a function is integrable if $$\lim_{n\to\infty}(U(f,P_n)-L(f,P_n)) = 0.$... integration riemann-sum partitions-for-integration- 33
So.. what exactly is Partition of an Interval
I have been researching about Partition of an Interval, and I'm quite confused. Some articles(Peoples) say Partition of $[a,b]$ is a finite sequence of $ a = x_0 < x_1 < \cdot\cdot\cdot < x_n=... calculus riemann-sum- 27
do the upper and lower darboux sums of a function change depending on the norm(mesh) of the partition?
if we have two partitions of the interval [0,1] p1 and p2 so that the norm of p1 is greater than the norm of p2, then does that mean that U(f,p1) > U(f,p2) ? calculus riemann-sum partitions-for-integration- 1
Finding the limits while changing limit of an infinite sum into integral.
I was solving the following question. Find the following limit. $$\lim_{n\to \infty}\dfrac1n \left(\dfrac{1}{1 + \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2n}\right)} + \dfrac{1}{1 + \sin\left(\dfrac{2\pi}{2n}\right)} + ... calculus sequences-and-series limits definite-integrals riemann-sum15 30 50 per page12345…88 Next
