A general formula is developed for solving a type of improper exponential definite integral of order n in the number plane. Termed the Moi Formula, it is shown to produce substantially simpler derivations of the finite moments of a probability distribution employed for assessing stochastic randomness, such as recently published by the authors. Other applications of the integral formula are discussed.

Bierens de haan (1867) evaluated a definite integral involving the cotangent function and this result was also listed in Gradshteyn and Ryzhik (2007). The objective of this present note is to use this integral along with Cauchy's integral formula to derive a definite logarithmic integral in terms of the Lerch function. We will use this integral formula to produce a table of known and new results in terms of special functions and thereby expanding the list of definite integrals in both text books.

Abstract In the paper, the authors generalize Young’s integral inequality via Taylor’s theorems in terms of higher order derivatives and their norms, and apply newly-established integral inequalities to estimate several concrete definite integrals, including a definite integral of a function which plays an indispensable role in differential geometry and has a connection with the Lah numbers in combinatorics, the exponential integral, and the logarithmic integral.

While browsing through the famous book of Bierens de Haan, we came across a table with some very interesting integrals. These integrals also appeared in the book of Gradshteyn and Ryzhik. Derivation of these integrals are not listed in the current literature to best of our knowledge. The derivation of such integrals in the book of Gradshteyn and Ryzhik in terms of closed form solutions is pertinent. We evaluate several of these definite integrals of the form ∫0∞(a+y)k−(a−y)keby−1dy, ∫0∞(a+y)k−(a−y)keby+1dy, ∫0∞(a+y)k−(a−y)ksinh(by)dy and ∫0∞(a+y)k+(a−y)kcosh(by)dy in terms of a special function where k, a and b are arbitrary complex numbers.

The definite integral ∫ y 1 y 0 ∫ x 1 x 0 P dx dy may be considered geometrically as the integral ∫ P dx dy extended over an area bounded by the straight lines whose equations are x = y 1 , x = y 0 , y = x 1 , y = x 0 . Now conceive the axes transformed through an angle of 45°, so that x = ξ/√2 = ƞ/√2, y = ξ/√2 + ƞ/√2; then the equations to the four straight lines become ξ/√2 - ƞ/√2 = y 1 , ξ/√2 - ƞ/√2 = y 0 , ξ/√2 + ƞ/√2 = x 1 , ξ/√2 + ƞ/√2 = x 0 .

Рассмотрена задача вычисления определенного интеграла функции, для которой известны значения ее самой и набора производных до заданного порядка в точках отрезка интегрирования. Построены составные квадратурные формулы, которые используют значения функции и ее производных до m-го порядка включительно. Получено представление остаточного члена, выраженное через производную соответствующего порядка и число узловых точек. Приведены примеры интегрирования заданных функций с исследованием погрешности и ее оценки. Дано сравнение с известными численными методами и формулой Эйлера-Маклорена, которое показало повышенную точность и лучшую сходимость метода двухточечного интегрирования The problem of computing a definite integral of a function for which the values of itself and the set of derivatives up to a given order at the points of the interval of integration are known is considered. Composite quadrature formulas are constructed that use the values of the function and its derivatives up to the m-th order inclusive. A representation of the remainder is obtained, expressed in terms of the derivative of the corresponding order and the number of nodal points. Examples of integration of the given functions with the study of the error and its estimation are given. A comparison is made with the known numerical methods and the Euler-Maclaurin formula, which showed increased accuracy and better convergence of the two-point integration method.

I commence this paper with some general reflections on the theory of definite integrals. A definite integral may be written thus— ∫ β α dx f ( a, b, c ... x )=Ø( a, b, c ..). If we expand in terms of ( a ) and equate the coefficients of on we shall have ∫ β α dx f 1 ( n, b, c ... x )=Ø( n, b, c ..). * These have been calculated for line A.

The winding number problem (Lévy (1940)) concerns the net angle through which the route of a random walk winds about the origin. We consider the problem of finding the winding number for a walk with finite step sizes; the eigenfunction method (Roberts and Ursell (1960)) is shown to be inapplicable because the probability distribution for a sequence of steps of different length depends on the order in which those steps are taken. In the diffusion limit, however, commutivity is restored. We derive the winding number distribution for a diffusion process, starting from a point displaced from the origin, and consider its asymptotic form. An important difference between the finite step and diffusion distributions is that the former possesses finite moments while the latter does not. We compute numerically the finite step distributions for 20000 particles undergoing N = 100000 steps, and compare the results with the diffusion distribution. Even for small winding numbers, perceptible differences between the two distributions appear even for N as large as 100000.

As is known there is the wide class of methods for calculation of the definite integrals constructed by the well-known scientists as Newton, Gauss, Chebyshev, Cotes, Simpson, Krylov and etc. It seems that to receive a new result in this area is impossible. The aim of this work is the applied some general form of hybrid methods to computation of definite integral and compares that with the Gauss method. The generalization of the Gauss quadrature formula have been fulfilled in two directions. One of these directions is the using of the implicit methods and the other is the using of the advanced (forward-jumping) methods. Here have compared these methods by shown its advantages and disadvantages in the results of which have recommended to use the implicit method with the special structure. And also are constructed methods, which have applied to calculation of the definite integral with the symmetric bounders. As is known, one of the popular methods for calculation of the definite integrals with the symmetric bounders is the Chebyshev method. Therefore, here have defined some relations between of the above mentioned methods. For the application constructed, here methods are defined the necessary conditions for its convergence. The receive results have illustrated by calculation the values for some model integral using the methods with the degree p  8.
