Double integral using the dirac delta
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Need to integrate using the dirac delta substitution: [tex] \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\!x^2\cos(xy)\sqrt{1-k^2\sin^2(y)}\, dx\, dy [/tex] 2. Relevant equations [tex]\cos(xy) = \frac{1}{2}\left(e^{ixy} + e^{-ixy}\right)[/tex] [tex]\delta\left[g(t)\right] = \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\!e^{ikg(t)}\,dk[/tex] 3. The attempt at a solution 1) First I tried replacing cos with the exponents, this allowed breaking the integral into two (almost identical ;) ) parts. 2) Next I should use the second formula (the one with delta) and replace exp with delta, which would help me to get rid of the x-parts... but the problem is how can I substitute delta when I have something like this (how to deal with the x^2 ???): [tex]\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\!x^2e^{ix(y)}\,dx[/tex] |
