5.1 INTRODUCTION TO DEFINITE INTEGRALS AND DOUBLE INTEGRALS


Definite Integrals
Y
The concept of definite integral

∫a f ( x ) dx
b
…(1)
is physically the area under a curve y = f(x), (say), the y = f( x)
A
x-axis and the two ordinates x = a and x = b. It is
defined as the limit of the sum
x=a x=b
f(x1)δx1 + f(x2)δx2 + … + f(xn)δxn
X
when n → ∞ and each of the lengths δx1, δx2, …, δxn O
Fig. 5.1
tends to zero.
Here δx1, δx2, …, δxn are n subdivisions into which the range of integration has been
divided and x1, x2, …, xn are the values of x lying respectively in the Ist, 2nd, …, nth
subintervals.
Y
Double Integrals
A double integral is the counter part of the above A
definition in two dimensions.
Let f(x, y) be a single valued and bounded function of
δA r
two independent variables x and y defined in a closed
region A in xy plane. Let A be divided into n elementary
areas δA1, δA2, …, δAn.
Let (xr, yr) be any point inside the rth elementary area X
O
δA r. Fig. 5.2
Consider the sum

f ( x1 , y1 ) δ A1 + f ( x2 , y2 ) δ A2 + … + f ( xn , yn ) δ An = ∑ f ( xr , yr ) δ Ar
n
…(2)
r =1

Then the limit of the sum (2), if exists, as n → ∞ and each sub-elementary area approaches
to zero, is termed as ‘double integral’ of f(x, y) over the region A and expressed as ∫ ∫ f ( x, y ) dA .

Thus ∫ ∫ f ( x, y ) dA = n →∞
Lt ∑ f ( xr , yr ) δAr …(3)
A r =1
δ Ar → 0
Observations: Double integrals are of limited use if they are evaluated as the limit of the sum. However, they
are very useful for physical problems when they are evaluated by treating as successive single integrals.
Further just as the definite integral (1) can be interpreted as an area, similarly the double integrals (3) can be
interpreted as a volume (see Figs. 5.1 and 5.2).

5.2 EVALUATION OF DOUBLE INTEGRAL

Evaluation of double integral ∫ ∫ f ( x, y ) dx dy


R y-axis
is discussed under following three possible cases: Q y = Ψ(x)
C D
Case I: When the region R is bounded by two continuous
curves y = ψ (x) and y = φ (x) and the two lines (ordinates)
x = a and x = b. R
In such a case, integration is first performed with
respect to y keeping x as a constant and then the A
B y = φ(x)
P
resulting integral is integrated within the limits x = a
and x = b. O x=a x=b x = axis
Mathematically expressed as: Fig. 5.3

( )
x=b
y = Ψ (x )
∫ ∫ f ( x, y ) dx dy = ∫ ∫ y = φ( x )
f ( x , y ) dy dx
R x=a
Geometrically the process is shown in Fig. 5.3, y = axis
x = φ( y ) x = Ψ (y)
where integration is carried out from inner rectangle
(i.e., along the one edge of the ‘vertical strip PQ’ from B D
y=b
P to Q) to the outer rectangle.
Case 2: When the region R is bounded by two continuous P Q
R
curves x = φ (y) and x = Ψ (y) and the two lines (abscissa)
y=a
y = a and y = b. A C
In such a case, integration is first performed with
respect to x. keeping y as a constant and then the O x = axis
resulting integral is integrated between the two limits Fig. 5.4
y = a and y = b.
Mathematically expressed as:
y-axis
y = b  x =Ψ( y) 
∫ ∫ f ( x, y ) dx dy = ∫  ∫ f ( x , y ) dx  dy y=a D Q C
R y = a  x =θ(y) 
Geometrically the process is shown in Fig. 5.4, R S
where integration is carried out from inner rectangle
(i.e., along the one edge of the horizontal strip PQ y=b
A P B
from P to Q) to the outer rectangle.
O x=a x=b x-axis
Case 3: When both pairs of limits are constants, the region
of integration is the rectangle ABCD (say). Fig. 5.5
Multiple Integrals and their Applications 357

In this case, it is immaterial whether f(x, y) is integrated first with respect to x or y, the
result is unaltered in both the cases (Fig. 5.5).
Observations: While calculating double integral, in either case, we proceed outwards from the innermost
integration and this concept can be generalized to repeated integrals with three or more variable also.

Example 2: Evaluate ∫ ∫ e2x +3y dxdy over the triangle bounded by the lines x = 0, y = 0 and

Solution: Here the region of integration is the triangle OABO as the line x + y = 1 intersects
the axes at points (1, 0) and (0, 1). Thus, precisely the region R (say) can be expressed as:

5.3 CHANGE OF ORDER OF INTEGRATION IN DOUBLE INTEGRALS


The concept of change of order of integration evolved to help in handling typical integrals
occurring in evaluation of double integrals.

When the limits of given integral ∫a ⋅ ∫y = φ(x) f ( x, y ) dy dx are clearly drawn and the region
b y = Ψ( x )

of integration is demarcated, then we can well change the order of integration be performing
integration first with respect to x as a function of y (along the horizontal strip PQ from P to
Q) and then with respect to y from c to d.
Mathematically expressed as:
d x = Ψ ( y)
I= ∫∫
c x = φ( y )
f ( x, y ) dx dy.

Sometimes the demarcated region may have to be split into two-to-three parts (as the case
may be) for defining new limits for each region in the changed order.

[KUK, 2000; NIT Kurukshetra, 2010]
Solution: In the above integral, y on vertical strip (say PQ) varies as a function of x and then
the strip slides between x = 0 to x = 1.
Here y = 0 is the x-axis and y = 1 − x 2 i.e., x2 + y2 = 1 is the circle.
In the changed order, the strip becomes P’Q’, P’ resting on the curve x = 0, Q’ on the circle
x = 1 − y 2 and finally the strip P’Q’ sliding between y = 0 to y = 1.

i.e., it passes through (0, 0) (4a, 4a), (– 4a, 4a).


Likewise, the curve y = 2 ax or y2 = 4ax is also a parabola with
x = 0 ⇒ y = 0 and x = 4a ⇒ y = ± 4a
i.e., it passes through (0, 0), (4a, 4a), (4a, – 4a).
Clearly the two curves are bounded at (0, 0) and (4a, 4a).
∴ On changing the order of integration over the strip P’Q’, x changes as a function of y
such that P’ lies on the curve y2 = 4ax and Q’ lies on the curve x2 = 4ay and finally P’Q’ slides
between y = 0 to y = 4a.

In the integral ∫θ=α ∫r =φ (θ) f ( r, θ) dr dθ , interation is first performed with respect to r along a
‘radial strip’ and then this trip slides between two values of θ = α to θ = β.
In the changed order, integration is first performed with respect to θ (as a function of r
along a ‘circular arc’) keeping r constant and then integrate the resulting integral with respect
to r between two values r = a to r = b (say)

5.7 CHANGE OF VARIABLE IN DOUBLE INTEGRAL


The concept of change of variable had evolved to facilitate the evaluation of some typical
integrals.
Case 1: General change from one set of variable (x, y) to another set of variables (u, v).
If it is desirable to change the variables in double integral ∫ ∫ f ( x, y ) dA by making
R
x = φ(u, v) and y = Ψ(u, v), the expression dA (the elementary area δxδy in Rxy) in terms of u
and v is given by
 x, y   x, y 
dA = J  du dv, ≠0
 u, v 
J
 u, v 
J is the Jacobian (transformation coefficient) or functional determinant.
 x, y 
∴ ∫ ∫ f ( x, y ) dx dy = ∫ ∫ F (u, v ) J  ,  du dv
R R uv
Case 2: From Cartesian to Polar Coordinates: In transforming to polar coordinates by means
of x = r cosθ and y = r sinθ,
∂x ∂x
 x, y  ∂θ = cos θ sin θ
J = ∂r
 r, θ  ∂y ∂y −r sin θ r cos θ

∴ dA = r dr dθ and ∫ ∫ f ( x, y ) dx dy = ∫ ∫ F (r, θ ) r dr dθ

From (2), either u = 0 or v = 0 or both zero. From (1), we get

Hence (x, y) = (0, 0) transforms to (u, v) = (0, 0), (0, 1)


Point A(1, 0), implies 1 = u(1 – v) …(3)
and 0 = uv …(4)
From (4) either u = 0 or v = 0, If v = 0 then from (3) we have u = 1, again if u = 0, equation
(3) is inconsistent.
Hence, A(1, 0) transforms to (1, 0), i.e. itself.

In the given form of the integral, x changes (as a (0, 0) (4a, 0)

For transformation to polar coordinates, we take Fig. 5.44

∂ ( x, y )
x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ and J = =r

The parabola y2 = 4ax implies r2 sin2θ = 4a r cosθ so that r(as a function of θ) varies from

r = 0 to r = and θ varies from θ = to θ =

5.8 TRIPLE INTEGRAL (PHYSICAL SIGNIFICANCE)


The triple integral is defined in a manner entirely analogous to the definition of the double
integral.
Let F(x, y, z) be a function of three independent variables x, y, z defined at every point in
a region of space V bounded by the surface S. Divided V into n elementary volumes δV1, δV2,
…, δVn and let (xr, yr, zr) be any point inside the rth sub division δVr. Then, the limit of the
sum
Z
n
∑ F ( xr , yr , zr ) δ vr , …(1) Z = f2(x, y)
r =1
if exists, as n → ∞ and δVr → 0 is called the
‘triple integral’ of R(x, y, z) over the region V, and
is denoted by
∫ ∫ ∫ F ( x, y, z) dV …(2)
Z = f1(x, y )
In order to express triple integral in the
‘integrated’ form, V is considered to be sub-
divided by planes parallel to the three coordinate
planes. The volume V may then be considered as O Y
the sum of a number of vertical columns extending
R
from the lower surface say, z = f1(x, y) to the upper
surface say, z = f2(x, y) with base as the elementary
δAr
areas δAr over a region R in the xy-plance when all
the columns in V are taken.
On summing up the elementary cuboids in the X Fig. 5.48
same vertical columns first and then taking the sum
for all the columns in V, it becomes

 
∑  ∑ F ( xr , yr , zr ) δz  δAr …(3)
r r 
with the pt. (xr, yr, zr) in the rth cuboid over the element δAr.
When δAr and δz tend to zero, we can write (3) as

Multiple Integrals and their Applications 391

∫x1 ∫y1 ∫z1 F ( x, y, z ) dz dy dx


x2 y2 z2
…(2)
where in the order of integration depends upon the limits.
If the limits z1 and z2 be the functions of (x, y); y1 and y2 be the functions of x and x1, x2 be
constant, then
x = b  y =φ2 ( x )  z = f2 ( x, y )  
I = ∫  ∫  ∫ F ( x, y, z ) dz dy dx …(3)
x= a  y =φ1 ( x)  z= f1 ( x, y)  
which shows that the first F(x, y, z) is integrated with respect to z keeping x and y constant
between the limits z = f1(x, y) to z = f2(x, y). The resultant which is a function of x, y is
integrated with respect to y keeping x constant between the limits y = f1(x) to y = f2(x).
Finally, the integrand is evaluated with respect to x between the limits x = a to x = b.
Note: This order can accordingly be changed depending upon the comfort of integration.

5.10 VOLUME AS A DOUBLE INTEGRAL


(Geometrical Interpretation of the Double Integral)
One of the most obvious use of double integral is the determination of volume of solids
viz. ‘volume between two surfaces’.
Z
If f(x, y) is a continuous and single valued function
defined over the region R in the xy-plane with z = f(x, y)
as the equation of the surface. Let ¬ be the closed curve S C
which encloses R. Clearly, the surface R (viz. z = f(x, y))
is the orthogonal projection of S(viz z = F(x, y)) in the
xy-plane.
Divided R into elementary rectangles of area δxδy
by drawing lines parallel to the axis of x and y. On each
of these rectangles errect prisms having their lengths
O Y
parallel to the z-axis. The volume of each such prism is
zδx δy.
(Division of R is performed with the lines x = xi (i = 1,
2, …, m) and y = yj(j = 1, 2, …, n). Through each line R δx
x = xi, pass a plane parallel to yz-plane, and through X δ R, δ y
each line y = yj, pass a plance parallel to xz-plane. The
rectangle ∆Rij whose area is ∆Aij = ∆xi ∆yj will be the Fig. 5.49
base of a rectangle prism of height f(xij, hij ), whose
volume is approximately equal to the volume between the surface and the xy-plane x = xi – 1,

( )
n
x = xi ; y = yi – 1 y = yi. Then ∑ f ξij , ηij ∆xi ⋅ ∆yj gives an approximate value for volume V of
i =1
j =1

the prism of the cylinder enclosed between z = f(x, y) and the xy-plane.
The volume V is the limit of the sum of each elementary volume z δxδy.
∴ V = Lt ∑ ∑ z δ x δ y = ∫ ∫ z dx dy = ∫ ∫ f ( x, y ) dA
x 0 δ → R R
δy→0

Note: In cyllidrical co-ordinates, the equation of the surface becomes z = f(r, θ), elementary area dA = r dr dθ
and volume = ∫ ∫ f (r , θ ) r dr dθ

Example 48: Evaluate ∫ ∫ ∫ ( x + y + z ) dx dy dz over the tetrahedron bounded by the planes


x = 0, y = 0, z = 0 and x + y + z = 1.

Solution: The integration is over the region R(shaded portion) bounded by the plane x = 0,
y = 0, z = 0 and the plane x + y + z = 1.
The area OAB, in xy plane is bounded by the lines x + y = 1, x = 0, y = 0
Hence for any pt. (x, y) within this triangle, z goes from xy plane to plane ABC (viz. the
surface of the tetrahedron) or in other words, z changes from z = 0 to z = 1 – x – y. Likewise
in plane xy, y as a function x varies from y = 0 to y = 1 – x and finally x varies from 0 to 1.

5.13. CHANGE OF VARIABLE IN TRIPLE INTEGRAL


For transforming elementary area or the volume from one sets of coordinate to another, the
necessary role of ‘Jacobian’ or ‘functional determinant’ comes into picture.
(a) Triple Integral Under General Transformation
∂(x, y, z)
Here ∫∫∫ f (x, y, z) dx dy dz = ∫∫∫ F(u, v, w)| J | du dvdw; where J = (≠ 0) …(1)
R( x, y, z) R '(u, v, w) ∂(u, v, w)
Since in the case of three variables u(x, y, z), v(x, y, z), w(x, y, z) be continuous together
with their first partial derivatives, the Jacobian of u, v, w with respect to x, y, z is
defined by

∂u ∂v ∂w
∂x ∂x ∂x
∂u ∂v ∂w
∂y ∂y ∂y
∂u ∂v ∂w
∂z ∂z ∂z

(b) Triple Integral in Cylindrical Coordinates

Here ∫ ∫ ∫ f ( x, y, z ) dx dy dz = ∫ ∫ ∫ F (r, θ, z ) J dr dθ dz , where |J| = r


R R´
The position of a point P in space in cylindrical coordinates is determined by the
three numbers r, θ, z where r and θ are polar co-ordinates of the projection of the point
P on the xy-plane and z is the z coordinate of P i.e., distance of the point (P) from the
xy-plane with the plus sign if the point (P) lies above the xy-plane, and minus sign if
below the xy-plane (Fig. 5.67).

In this case, divide the given three dimensional region R' (r, θ, z) into elementary
volumes by coordinate surfaces r = ri, θ = θj, z = zk (viz. half plane adjoining z-axis,
circular cylinder axis coincides with Z-zxis, planes perpenducular to z-axis). The
Multiple Integrals and their Applications 407

curvilinear ‘prism’ shown in Fig. 5. 68 is a volume element of which elementary base


area is r ∆r∆θ and height ∆z, so that ∆v = r ∆r ∆θ ∆z.
Here θ is the angle between OQ and the positive x-axis, r is the distance OQ and z is
the distance QP. From the Fig. 5.62, it is evident that
x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ, z = z and so that,

cos θ sin θ 0
 x, y, z 
J = − r sin θ r cos θ 0 = r
 u, v, w  0 0 1
…(2)

Hence, the triple integral of the function F(r, θ, z) over R´ becomes


V = ∫ ∫ ∫ F ( r, θ, z) r dr dθdz
R´(r , θ, z)
…(3)

(c) Triple Integral in Spherical Polar Coordinates

Here V = ∫ ∫ ∫ f ( x, y, z ) dxdydz = ∫ ∫ ∫ F ( r , θ, φ ) J drdθ dφ , where |J| = r2 sinθ


R R
The position of a point P in space in spherical coordinates is determined by the
three variables r, θ, φ where r is the distance of the point (P) from the origin and so
called radius vector, θ is the angle between the radius vector on the xy-plane and the
x-axis to count from this axis in a positive sense viz. counter-clockwise.
For any point in space in spherical coordinates, we have
0 ≤ r ≤ ∞, 0 ≤ θ ≤ π, 0 ≤ φ ≤ 2π.
Divide the region ‘R’ into elementary volumes ∆V by coordinate surfaces, r = constant
(sphere), θ = constant (conic surfaces with vertices at the origin), φ = constant (half
planes passing through the Z-axis ).
To within infinitesimal of higher order, the volume element ∆v may be considered
a parallelopiped with edges of length ∆r, r ∆θ, r sinθ ∆φ. Then the volume element
becomes ∆V = r2 sinθ ∆r ∆θ ∆φ.

For calculation purpose, it is evident from the Fig. 5.69 that in triangles, OAL and
OPL,
x = OL cos φ = OP cos (90 – θ) . cos φ = r sinθ cos φ,
y = OL sin φ = OP sin θ . sin φ = r sin θ sin φ,
z = r cos θ.

∂ ( x, y, z) sin θ cos φ sin θ sin φ cos θ

Thus, ∂ ( r, θ, φ ) −r sin θ sin φ r sin θ cos φ 0

Problmes on Volume in Polar Spherical Co-ordinates

410 Engineering Mathematics through Applications

Solution: For the given sphere, x2 + y2 + z2 = a2 and the cone x2 + y2 = z2, the centre of the
sphere is (0, 0, 0) and the vertex of the cone is origin. Therefore, the volume common to the
two bodies is symmetrical about the plane z = 0, i.e. the required volume, V = 2∫ ∫ ∫ dxdydz

x = r sin θ cos φ

In spherical co-ordinates, we have y = r sin θ sin φ  ; J = r2 sin θ
z = r cos θ 
Thus, x2 + y2 + z2 = a2 becomes r2 = a2 i.e., r = a
and x2 + y2 = z2 becomes r2 sin2θ (cos2φ + sin2φ) = r2 cos2θ
i.e., sin2θ = cos2θ i.e. θ = π/4. Z

Clearly, the volume shown in the figure (Fig. 5.73) is


one-fourth, i.e. in first quadrant only and, in the common x2 + y2 = z2
