Integral equation. For equations of integer unknowns, see Diophantine equation. In mathematics, integral equations are equations in which an unknown function appears under an integral sign. [1] In mathematical notation, integral equations may thus be expressed as being of the form: where is an integral operator acting on u. [1]
The Gaussian integral, also known as the Euler–Poisson integral, is the integral of the Gaussian function over the entire real line. Named after the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, the integral is. Abraham de Moivre originally discovered this type of integral in 1733, while Gauss published the precise integral in 1809.

In mathematics, the Fredholm integral equation is an integral equation whose solution gives rise to Fredholm theory, the study of Fredholm kernels and Fredholm operators. The integral equation was studied by Ivar Fredholm. A useful method to solve such equations, the Adomian decomposition method, is due to George Adomian .
Other integrals. where. (Note that the value of the expression is independent of the value of n, which is why it does not appear in the integral.) where. and Γ (x,y) is the upper incomplete gamma function. when , , and. when , , and.
In mathematics, an integral is the continuous analog of a sum, which is used to calculate areas, volumes, and their generalizations. Integration, the process of computing an integral, is one of the two fundamental operations of calculus, [a] the other being differentiation. Integration was initially used to solve problems in mathematics and ...
Definitions. For real non-zero values of x, the exponential integral Ei ( x) is defined as. The Risch algorithm shows that Ei is not an elementary function. The definition above can be used for positive values of x, but the integral has to be understood in terms of the Cauchy principal value due to the singularity of the integrand at zero. For ...
The following is a list of integrals ( antiderivative functions) of rational functions. Any rational function can be integrated by partial fraction decomposition of the function into a sum of functions of the form: , and. which can then be integrated term by term. For other types of functions, see lists of integrals .
A standard method of evaluating the secant integral presented in various references involves multiplying the numerator and denominator by sec θ + tan θ and then using the substitution u = sec θ + tan θ. This substitution can be obtained from the derivatives of secant and tangent added together, which have secant as a common factor.
