The golden ratio is a pretty famous math inequality. BUT have you heard of (what I call) the Golden Integral?
This Golden Ratio Integral integrates to a pretty remarkable result!

"To solve this we have to know a few things about the golden ratio." Yeah the lack of information about phi isn't the problem here :D

I don't think you need to use the factorial definition of the Gamma, since the factorial per sè isn't defined for non-natural numbers. You could just use the property that x•Gamma(x) = Gamma(x+1) and that (1/phi) = (phi-1) at 3:42 for a more "formal" solution. Great video tho! Loved the reupload fixing that mistake at the start, shows a great care and love for the craft.

Dr Peyam also did a video on this integral, taking a completely different route. He actually guessed an antiderivative of the function instead. It wasn't an intuitive solution, but I still found it pretty surprising that a complicated function with irrational powers like this one has an elementary antiderivative. It shows just how special phi is!

Another great video from Bri. This is a great solution and a really nice use of the Beta and Gamma functions, however, I evaluated the integral without using any special functions: Let u=1+x^phi, then, x=(u-1)^(1/phi), so dx=(1/phi)*(u-1)^(1/phi -1). Since, phi^2 = phi + 1, dividing by phi and taking 2 from both sides gives, 1/phi - 1 = phi - 2. Using this to simplify the expression for dx gives, dx = (1/phi)*(u-1)^(phi-2) du. At our bounds we have, x=0 -> u=1, x=inf -> u=inf. Re-writing the integral in terms of u gives: I = int( (1/phi)*(1/u^phi)*((u-1)^(phi-2)) du ) from 1 to infinity. By pulling the constant out the front and multiplying the integrand by (u^-2)/(u^-2) gives, I = (1/phi)*int( (u^-2)*(1/u^(phi-2))*(u-1)^(phi-2) du ) from 1 to infinity Rearranging the integrand, by noticing that the powers of u are now equal, and simplifying gives: I = (1/phi)*int( (u^-2)*(1 - 1/u)^(phi-2) du ) from 1 to infinity, Now let v = 1 - 1/u, so dv = u^-2 du. When u=1 -> v=0, u=inf -> v=1. This then gives: I = (1/phi)*int( v^(phi-2) dv) from 0 to 1. Integrating using the power rule and plugging in the bounds gives: I = (1/phi)*(1/(phi-1)) = 1/(phi^2 - phi) Since phi^2 = phi + 1, then subtracting phi from both sides gives, phi^2 - phi = 1, which reduced our integral to: I = 1 Hope that's clear enough for people to follow. I honestly didn't think I was gonna be able to solve it but then I noticed the beautiful substitution of v = 1 - 1/u.

Hi Robert. I basically found the same thing but after following Bri's first stage of u=x^phi rather than your u=1+x^phi. You then get the integral of 1/E where E is u^(2-phi)*(1+u)^phi = u^2*(1+(1/u))^phi and then a v=1/u substitution seems maybe a bit more obvious, followed by v -> v-1. OK, I'm doing v=(1/u)+1 rather than your final v=1-(1/u) [and getting a final integral from 1 to infty rather than 0 to 1], but maybe it is easier to spot with the positives.
Dejà-vu, I've just been in this place before...

Mind blown, but more in a makes me want to cry way. I need to brush up on my integrals!
I am amazed to see that mathematicians have come up with shortcuts for integration as well to save our time. Although I did not understand the technical stuff, I loved how this abstraction and clever substitution of beta function made this problem so beautiful. I remember studying gamma functions in my college. These are some college level concepts
It took a while, but I figured out how to do this with only u-substitution! Starting at the beginning, I set u=1+x^phi, and after following similar steps from the video, I rearranged the function to get: 1/u^phi * 1/(u-1) * x du all over phi. Solving for x in terms of u gets (u-1)^(1/phi), and plugging back in and dealing with exponents gets us: 1/u^phi * 1/[(u-1)^(1-1/phi)] du all over phi. Plugging in 1/phi = phi - 1 for the second term gets us: 1/u^phi * 1/[(u-1)^(2-phi)] du all over phi. Bringing the second term to the numerator and splitting up the exponent, we get: 1/u^phi * (u-1)^phi * 1/(u-1)^2 du all over phi. Because the first two terms have the same exponents, we can combine the terms inside of them: (1 - 1/u)^phi * 1/(u-1)^2 du all over phi. We want the second term in terms of 1 - 1/u, so taking a 1/u^2 out of it and flipping the signs (no change because -1 is squared), and combining with the first term, we get: (1 - 1/u)^(phi-2) * u^-2 du all over phi. Lastly, doing w-substitution where w = 1 - 1/u and dw = u^-2 will yield an integrand of: w^(phi-2) dw all over phi. And an anti derivative of: [w^(phi-1)]/(phi-1) all over phi, integrated from 0 to 1 - 1/(inf^phi + 1) if we did our u-subs correctly. Doing our strategy of taking the limit as a variable (b) goes to infinity for indefinite integrals and plugging in, we get: [(1-1/[b^phi + 1])^(phi-1)] / (phi-1) all over phi where b goes to infinity. Because b goes to infinity, the numerator just turns to 1, leaving us with: 1/(phi-1) * 1/phi And finally, plugging in phi - 1 = phi^-1 for the first term nets us our magical answer… 1 Very cool!

My math is very rough (what I remember from my C.S. degree), but integration has always seemed so ad hoc to me, like a collection of disjointed heuristics. Is it basically a tradeoff between the complexity of how we represent formulas vs. the complexity of the algorithm we use to integrate them?

feynman’s technique for a parameter k in place of phi, so differentiating under the integral?
Instead of using the beta function it is possible to just transform u^(φ-2)du into u^φ*d(-1/u), substitute t = -1/u and then it simplifies and we get what we wanted
no need for gamma or beta function at all....it's much more simpler. @2:30 just let z=u/(1+u) then u=z/(1-z) and it becomes a simple algebraic integral.
I did by substituing for u = 1/(1+x^phi), after that there are some cancelations and the integral becomes very simple, without The need to know special functions. I would say however it is certainly more stylish to recognise the beta/gamma functions in there
Fascinating. I'm fascinated.

Loved this video! But you didn't have to do our boy Gamma like that! :P
is it ok to undo the analytic continuation of factorials (namely Γ(x)) when your argument isn't a natural number? it'll usually work, but you'll need to stipulate caveats regarding the evaluation of factorials, enforcing their arrangement as quotients of successive or integer-modulo arguments to the factorial function. Γ(x) also has the property that Γ(x + n) = x^n * Γ(x). so you could have just evaluated that directly. very pretty problem. i hardly ever see people talk about β(x, y)

I don’t think you can actually use the factorial for non-natural numbers. Why not use the properties of the gamma function instead?
One represents unity and wholeness. The golden ratio is the geometric representation of multiple dimensions of "oneness." By this I mean it represents the reciprocating property of nature (the 1/) and the fact that nature builds upon itself to create new life beings the (1+). Therefore nature follows the Noble Path of the Golden code indefinitely 1+(1/(1+(1/(1+(1/...) The integral represents the touch of infinity and zero. It is the sum of infinitesimal small quantities of "dx" so small that humans can't even comprehend it. Combining the universal code, oneness, and the touch of the small into a mathematical expression is the act of seeking quantitative understanding of the Origin.

What if b is larger? It just makes b=0. And if b is 0, a should be a negative number? And also, a+b/b will tend to infinity which means a/b=infinity which just means a=0 x infinity But a is negative, right? The golden ratio formula has a contradiction

ah what so the answer of one seem pretty reasonable because the integral of 1/x is ln x and the limit of (1+1/x)^x as x goes to infinity is e. The answer to ln e is 1. As an aside, 0! is not equal to 1 despite popular opinion. The gamma is not an exact answer for generalized factorials. The definition of factorial requires that the domain is the set of natural numbers. The gamma function is generalized in that it is an analytic continuation, but it loses meaning when things are more generalized.
