SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the first-order partial derivatives of the function f(x, y) defined as f(x, y) = ∫_a^∫_b^y g. The first derivative with respect to x is established as D_1f(x, y) = 0, indicating that f does not depend on x. The second derivative with respect to y is derived as D_2f(x, y) = g(∫_b^y g)g(y), demonstrating the relationship between the function g and its antiderivative G.

Find the (first-order) partial derivatives of the following function (where g : [itex]\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}[/itex] is continuous):

[tex]f(x, y) = \int _a ^{\int _b ^y g} g.[/tex]

--------------

I got:

[tex]D_1f(x, y) = 0[/tex]

[tex]D_2f(x, y) = \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{\partial }{\partial y} \int _a ^{\int _b ^y g}g[/tex]

Let G be the antiderivative of g:

[tex]= \frac{\partial }{\partial y}\left ( G \left (\int _b ^y g\right ) - G(a) \right )[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{\partial }{\partial y} G \left (\int _b ^y g\right )[/tex]

[tex]= \left ( \frac{\partial G \left (\int _b ^y g\right )}{\partial \left (\int _b ^y g\right ) }\right ) \left (\frac{\partial }{\partial y}\int _b ^y g\right )[/tex]

[tex]= g\left (\int _b ^y g\right )\frac{\partial }{\partial y}\left (G(y) - G(b) \right )[/tex]

[tex]= g\left (\int _b ^y g\right )g(y)[/tex]

= g\left (\int _b ^y g\right )\frac{\partial }{\partial y} \left (\int _b ^y g\right )

= g\left (\int _b ^y g\right )g(y)

= g \left (\int _b ^y g\right )g(y)

Therefore, the first-order partial derivative with respect to y is g \left (\int _b ^y g\right )g(y).
