MULTIPLE INTEGRALS

DOUBLE INTEGRATION

Let 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) be a continuous function defined

On region R then double integration of 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)

On R is denoted by ∬𝑅 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝐴 and it is defined by,

lim ∑𝑛𝑟=1 𝑓(𝑥𝑟, 𝑦𝑟 )𝛿𝐴𝑟


∬𝑅 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝐴 = 𝑛→∞ , 𝑅 𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑜𝑛.
𝛿𝐴𝑟

Fubini‘s Theorem

1:- If 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) is continuous throughout the rectangular region 𝑅: 𝑎 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝑏, 𝑐 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 𝑑,

𝑑 𝑏 𝑏 𝑑
Then ∬𝑅 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝐴 = ∫𝑐 ∫𝑎 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑦 = ∫𝑎 ∫𝑐 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑥

which means when limits of integration are constants and function is continuous then order of
integration has no importance.

2:- If 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) is continuous on a region 𝑅: 𝑎 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 𝑏, 𝑔(𝑥) ≤ 𝑦 ≤ ℎ(𝑥),then


𝑥=𝑏 𝑦=ℎ(𝑥)
∬𝑅 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝐴 = ∫𝑥=𝑎 ∫𝑦=𝑔(𝑥) 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑥 , 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑔 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ℎ 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑜𝑛 [𝑎, 𝑏]

Example (3): Evaluate ∬𝑅 𝑒 2𝑥+3𝑦 𝑑𝑥𝑑𝑦 over the triangle bounded by the lines x = 0, y = 0 and x
+ y = 1.

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:

0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1, 0 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 1 – 𝑥

Example (4): Evaluate the integral ∬𝑅 𝑥𝑦(𝑥 + 𝑦)𝑑𝑥𝑑𝑦 over the area between the curve 𝑦 = 𝑥 2
and 𝑦 = 𝑥.

Solution: We have 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 and 𝑦 = 𝑥 which implies 𝑥 2 − 𝑥 = 0 i.e. either 𝑥 = 0 or 𝑥 = 1.

Further, if x = 0 then y = 0; if x = 1 then y = 1. Means the two curves intersect at points (0, 0),
(1, 1). ∴ The region R of integration is doted and can be expressed as:

0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1, 𝑥 2 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 𝑥.

CHANG OF ORDER OF INTEGRATION

To evaluate double integrals by changing the order of integration becomes easier.

1:- first draw the region using given limits of integration.

2:- If it is given first to integrate w.r.t. 𝑥, then to change the limit draw a vertical strip line and
determine the limits.

3:- If it is given first to integrate w.r.t.𝑦, then to change the limit draw a horizontal strip line and
determine the limit.

For example:-

𝑥=𝑏 𝑦=ℎ(𝑥) 𝑦=𝑑 𝑥=ℎ(𝑦)

∫ ∫ 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) 𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑥 = ∫ ∫ 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑦
𝑥=𝑎 𝑦=𝑔(𝑥) 𝑦=𝑐 𝑥=𝑔(𝑦)

Remark:-While changing order of integration integrating function 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦) remains unchanged.

1 √1−𝑥 2
Example:1 Evaluate the integral∫0 ∫0 𝑦 2 𝑑𝑦𝑑𝑥by changing the order of integration.

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.𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 = 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.

Example:2 Evaluate the integral∫0 ∫1 (𝑥 + 𝑦)𝑑𝑥𝑑𝑦 by changing the order of integration.
Solution:

Clearly in the given form of integral, x changes as a function of y (viz.x = f(y) )and y as an
independent variable changes from 0 to 3.
Thus, the two curves are the straight line x = 1and the parabola, 𝑥 = √4 − 𝑦and the common
area under consideration is ABQCA.
For changing the order of integration, we need to convert the horizontal strip PQ to a vertical
strip P’Q’over which y changes as a function of x and it slides for values of x = 1to x = 2 as
shown in Fig

5.4 Double integral in POLAR COORDINATES

Take r as distance of P from the origin and 𝜃 as an angle of ̅̅̅̅


𝑂𝑃 with positive X-axis, then polar
coordinates are 𝒙 = 𝒓 𝐜𝐨𝐬 𝜽, 𝒚 = 𝒓 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽.
𝑦
Also 𝑟 2 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 , 𝜃 = tan−1 𝑥 .

To evaluate ∬𝑅 𝑓(𝑟, 𝜃)𝑑𝜃 we first integrate with respect to r keeping θ as a constant and then the
resulting expression is integrated with respect to θ.

Example:1 Evaluate ∬ 𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃𝑑𝑟𝑑𝜃 over the cardiod 𝑟 = 𝑎(1 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃) above the initial line.

Solution: The region of integration under consideration is the cardiod 𝑟 = 𝑎(1 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃) above
the initial line.
𝜋
In the cardoid 𝑟 = 𝑎(1 − 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃), 𝜃 = 0 , 𝑟 = 0 𝜃 = 2,𝑟 = 𝑎 𝜃 = 𝜋, 𝑟 = 2𝑎

As clear from the geometry along the radial strip OP, r (as a function of θ) varies from

r = 0 to r = a(1 – cos θ) and then this strip slides from 𝜃 = 0 𝑡𝑜 𝜃 = 𝜋 for covering the area
above the initial line.

Example:2 Using transformation 𝑥 = 𝑢 + 𝑣 , 𝑦 = 𝑢𝑣 find ∫0 ∫0 𝑒 𝑥+𝑦 𝑑𝑥𝑑𝑦.
Solution: Clearly 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) represents curves 𝑦 = 0 and 𝑦 = 1 − 𝑥 , and 𝑥 which is an
independent variable changes from 𝑥 = 0 to 𝑥 = 1.
Thus, the area OABO bounded between the two curves 𝑦 = 0 and 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 1 and the two
ordinates 𝑥 = 0 and 𝑥 = 1 is shown in Fig.
On using transformation; 𝑥 = 𝑢 + 𝑣 implies that 𝑥 = 𝑢(1 − 𝑣)
𝑦 = 𝑢𝑣 implies that 𝑦 = 𝑢𝑣
Now point O(0, 0) implies 0 = u(1 – v) …(1) and
0 = uv …(2)
From (2), either u = 0 or v = 0 or both zero.
From (1), we get u = 0, v = 1
Hence (x, y) = (0, 0) transforms to (u, v) = (0, 0), (0, 1)
Point A(1, 0), implies 1 = u(1 – v) …(3)
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.
From Point B(0, 1), we get 0 = u(1 – v) …(5) and
1 = vu …(6)
From (5), either u = 0 or v = 1
If u = 0, equation (6) becomes inconsistent.
If v = 1, the equation (6) gives u = 1.
Hence (0, 1) transform to (1, 1). See Fig

Common questions

Triple integration extends double integration to compute volume under surfaces in three-dimensional space, enabling analysis of more complex geometric and physical phenomena. It is particularly beneficial when solutions must incorporate the depth or thickness of regions, as seen in multidimensional applications such as physics, where additional dimensions represent physical quantities like time, mass, or electric field potential .

Changing the order of integration in double integrals can significantly simplify the evaluation process, especially when the limits of integration involve variables rather than constants. By examining the region of integration and redrawing it with respect to the other variable, one can often obtain a more straightforward path to the solution. This technique is beneficial when the integral becomes complex due to difficult boundary conditions or when the function itself is asymmetric in x and y .

The Jacobian plays a critical role in variable transformations by quantifying the distortion of space during transformation, ensuring the integral's value remains invariant under change of variables. It serves as a correction factor that adjusts for how the transformation scales areas between the original and new variables, allowing one to calculate the integral correctly over the transformed region. This is essential to maintain the integral's correctness and equivalence to the original region .

Graphically evaluating regions of integration is crucial in multiple integrals to accurately determine the boundaries and behavior of the integrand and the region. Visualization allows understanding of the geometry involved, decisions on suitable coordinate transformations, and determination of appropriate integration limits, reducing errors and simplifying the integration process. Lack of a clear graphical analysis might lead to errors in setting bounds and comprehending how the integrand interacts with different regions .

Polar coordinate integration is particularly useful for evaluating integrals involving circular areas due to the natural correspondence between the circular region and polar representation, which simplifies the integral's limits and form. Instead of converting and managing intricate Cartesian bounds, the problem reduces to simple radial and angular terms, often limiting integration challenges to simpler trigonometric or simpler radius bounds .

Fubini's Theorem allows the evaluation of double integrals of continuous functions over rectangular regions by clarifying that the order of integration can be interchanged without affecting the result when limits of integration are constants. It asserts that if a function f(x, y) is continuous on a rectangular region R, then the double integral can be expressed as an iterated integral in two ways: ∬ 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝐴 = ∫[∫ 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑥]= ∫[∫ 𝑓(𝑥, 𝑦)𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑦], demonstrating that both orders yield the same result .

The geometric interpretation of a double integral over a specified region is that it represents the volume under a surface z = f(x, y) above the region within the xy-plane. The double integral calculates the accumulated "height" or "mass" across the area, providing insight into concepts like the total area, volume, or center of mass of a region bounded in two-dimensional space .

The transformation of variables simplifies the computation of double integrals over non-rectangular regions by redefining the boundaries and transforming the variables into more convenient forms. This involves a Jacobian determinant to account for the change in area. The method is particularly useful when the region of integration is bounded by curves, enabling a switch to a more regular geometric shape (e.g., triangles, rectangles) in the new variables, thereby simplifying the integral calculation .

Transitioning to polar coordinates is advantageous when dealing with circular or radial symmetry within the region of integration. This allows complex integration bounds and integrands to be simplified. For instance, integrals over circular regions or those involved with functions illustrating radial symmetry, such as integrals of the form ∬ 𝑓(𝑟, θ)𝑑𝑟𝑑θ, can more easily be managed by converting from Cartesian coordinates (x, y) to polar coordinates (r, θ).

Choosing whether to integrate with respect to x or y first in a double integral problem can facilitate a simpler evaluation by analyzing the boundary conditions of the integration region. For regions defined by y as a function of x, it often simplifies the integral to first integrate with respect to x, and vice-versa. The choice can make the integral more tractable and manage the function's continuity more effectively in terms of variable bounds .
