Partial Fraction - Application To Symbolic Integration

Application To Symbolic Integration

For the purpose of symbolic integration, the preceding result may be refined into

Let ƒ and g be nonzero polynomials over a field K. Write g as a product of powers of pairwise coprime polynomials which have no multiple root in an algebraically closed field:

There are (unique) polynomials b and c ij with deg c ij < deg p i such that
\frac{f}{g}=b+\sum_{i=1}^k\sum_{j=2}^{n_i}\left(\frac{c_{ij}}{p_i^{j-1}}\right)' + \sum_{i=1}^k \frac{c_{i1}}{p_i}.
where denotes the derivative of

This reduces the computation of the antiderivative of a rational function to the integration of the last sum, with is called the logarithmic part, because its antiderivative is a linear combination of logarithms.

Famous quotes containing the words application to, application, symbolic and/or integration:

    “Preaching is the expression of the moral sentiment in application to the duties of life.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It is known that Whistler when asked how long it took him to paint one of his “nocturnes” answered: “All of my life.” With the same rigor he could have said that all of the centuries that preceded the moment when he painted were necessary. From that correct application of the law of causality it follows that the slightest event presupposes the inconceivable universe and, conversely, that the universe needs even the slightest of events.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    “Play permits the child to resolve in symbolic form unsolved problems of the past and to cope directly or symbolically with present concerns. It is also his most significant tool for preparing himself for the future and its tasks.”
    —Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    “The only phenomenon with which writing has always been concomitant is the creation of cities and empires, that is the integration of large numbers of individuals into a political system, and their grading into castes or classes.... It seems to have favored the exploitation of human beings rather than their enlightenment.”
    —Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)
