CHAPTER 14 Improper Integral, Gamma and Beta Functions In the definite integral [ f(z) de it is assumed that (i) the limits a and b both are finite, and (ii) the integrand f(z) is bounded within a < If a definite integral satisfies these two conditions, then the integral is called proper in- tegral. But, if a or 6 or both are infinite or f(x) is not finite in a < called improper integral or infinite integral or generalised integral. If the integral is proper and integrable, then it has a finite value. But the value of improper integral may be finite or infinite. If the value of the integral is finite, then it is said to be convergent, otherwise the integral is said to be divergent. ‘The improper integrals are of two types, viz., first type or first kind and second type or < b, then the integral is second kind. Gamma and beta functions are two improper integrals and they are used to solve a large number of problems involved in integration. 14.1 First Type Improper Integrals oo . = The integrals i F(a) de, it f(z) de and / J(e) de are called first type improper in- tegrals. The values of these integrals are evaluated as follows. (i) Let f(z) be bounded and integrable in a < x < B for every B > a. Then f F(x) dr is said to be converge or exist if lim of (2) de exists.

If the improper integral [ f(x) dx is neither a converge nor diverge, then it is called oscillatory. : jy The improper integral [ F(z) de can be evaluated as povided the limit exists and f(x) is bounded and integrable in A < x < b. (iii) The improper integral [ f(x) dx is broken up into two integrals of the previous forms, ie [teem f° seas [pepe (142) where a is any point.
