Half integral of x

Defining the half integral, which is halfway between a function and its integral. Done by analogy with half derivatives, by finding formulas for the derivatives of power functions. It uses the factorial which is then generalized to the gamma function with Gaussian integrals. I also mention trig functions and applications to broken processes. This is a delight for any calculus student or anyone who is interested in fractional derivatives.

    I think you should have mention that derivative of sin is cos which is also shift = sin(x + pi/2), and integral of sin is -cos, which is also shift = sin(x - pi/2). So, when you do half derivative twice you get sin(x + pi/4 + pi/4) = sin(x + pi/2). Not everyone keeps in mind that cos is shift of sin.

    This reminds me a little bit of Fractional Calculus (invented by some Japanese?) where you can take, say a half derivative of a function. The Gamma Function also plays a role there. I am lacking a geometric interpretation of all this, but it's cool. With fractional calculus you can also find sums of complicated infinite series but at that point, my head started to burst...

    one of my favorite little functions is the shifter: f(x,n) = x^n/n! when n >= 0 otherwise 0. notice the derivative of this function in x is itself shifted in n: df(x,n)/dx = f(x,n-1). This function makes for a really clean way to define e^x = sum over all integers:n of f(x,n). And of course the derivative of this sum would be itself, since that just shifts the domain n (which ranges from -inf to +inf) by one. In this case, the half integral actually follows straight away as i^(1/2) f(x,n) = f(x,n+1/2)

    f can be redefined, as you mentioned with gamma, as: f(x,n) = x^n/gamma(n+1) when n is not a negative integer, else 0 (treating gamma(n+1) as infinity for negative integers, which is what it diverges to after all; relatedly 1/gamma(x) can be defined for all real numbers in this way)

    The half integral of X becomes a major 6th in a 4:3 cross rhythm. Every single differential/complex function can be represented by a musical note with a pitch p and a rhythm r where the octave is the subscript of the pitch or the integral of the harmonic motion domain with respect to the pitch positions p_n. Therefore, p = exp(iN@pi/M) and r = exp(ln(2)*(t/(n-@) and the harmonic operator is

    Dr. Peyam You should look into dual numbers, and split complex numbers (also called hyperbolic numbers). j^2 =1 and з^2 = 0 and j and з are not part of the real numbers I think it is a cool concept to look into My inspiration for this is how clean Euler's formula is in that form e^jx = cosh(x) + j sinh(x) e^зx = 1 + зx = cosp(x) + з sinp(x) Where cosp(x) is the parabolic cosine and sinp(x) is the parabolic sine This is also interesting since d^2y/dx^2 = -y y = c1 cos(x) + c2 sin(x) d^2y/dx^2 = y y = c1 cosh(x) + c2 sinh(x) (This can be simplified without hyperbolic numbers) analogously d^2y/dx^2 = 0 y = c1 cosp(x) + c2 sinp(x) = c1 + c2 x Oddly enough there is a whole table on the bottom of the "length contraction" article on Wikipedia. Maybe I will go through Complex analysis and do analogous proofs with these numbers; see what they can and cannot do.

    It would be interesting to explore the whole _continuum_ of derivatives and antiderivatives, including all the reals between the integers. How does a function "evolve" as the degree of the derivative changes? Degree zero is always identity for all functions; f(x)=x^n for example is x^n at degree zero, and "ends up") as nx^(n-1) at degree one; f(x) = e^x doesn't change at all...

    So...the half-integral of x evaluated at π is the volume of a sphere of radius 1. Is there some intuitive reason that should be true?

  • @Salarr

    @Salarr

    Жыл бұрын

    Kind of… There is some intuition, dimensionally, for the half-integral of the area of a circle with respect to itself, being the volume of a sphere with the same radius. If you half-integrate an area with respect to an area (linear dimension squared), the dimension of the result is an area times the linear dimension, so a volume. Try the substitution x = pi * r^2, the circle’s area. The half integral becomes 4/3 pi r^3, the sphere’s volume. The reason evaluating at pi corresponds to r = 1 is because x (= pi * r^2) = pi, so r = 1. It might be logical to use A as the variable of integration, rather than x.
