Change of variables jacobian limits

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around evaluating a double integral involving the expression \(\frac{x^2+y^2}{1+(x^2-y^2)^2} e^{-2xy}\) over the first quadrant. The original poster attempts to change variables using \(u = x^2 - y^2\) and \(v = 2xy\) and is seeking assistance with finding the limits for these new variables and eliminating \(x^2 + y^2\) from the integral.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Some participants suggest considering a polar transformation due to the presence of \(x^2\) and \(y^2\) terms, proposing a transformation to polar coordinates with corresponding limits. Others express uncertainty about the requirement to use the Jacobian determinant in this context.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring different transformation methods. There is a recognition of the need to adhere to the Jacobian determinant requirement, while also considering the implications of switching to polar coordinates.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the challenge of determining the limits for the new variables \(u\) and \(v\) and the necessity of maintaining the use of the Jacobian determinant in the transformation process.

## \int_{0}^{∞}\int_{0}^{∞} \frac{x^2+y^2}{1+(x^2-y^2)^2} e^{-2xy} dxdy ##

##u= x^2-y^2##
##v=2xy##I tried to find the jacobian and the area elements,

I found it to be ## dA = \frac{1}{v} du dv ##

I'm having problem finding the limits of u & v and getting rid of ##x^{2}+y^{2}##.

I could be wrong about this, but I think you should try a polar transformation. All the ##x^2## and ##y^2## terms seem to hint at this.

$$\iint_D \frac{x^2 + y^2}{1 + (x^2 - y^2)^2} e^{-2xy} dA = \iint_{D'} \frac{r^2}{1 + (r^2 \text{cos}(2 \theta))^2} e^{-r^2 sin(2 \theta)} r dr d\theta$$

Where ##D'## is the part of ##D## inside the circle ##x^2 + y^2 \leq c^2##. So ##0 \leq r \leq c## and ##0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}## define the limits of ##D'##.

Then you want to consider when ##c \to \infty##, so ##D'## becomes infinitely large.

Hmmm, seems good. But the question require using Jacobian determinant.

When changing to polar co-ordinates:

$$dA = \left| J \right| dA' = \left| J \right| dr d\theta = r \space dr d\theta$$

The Jacobian is just ##r##.
