SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on transforming limits of the variables x and y into u and v using the equations u = x - y and v = x + y. The Jacobian determinant for this transformation is calculated as 1/2. The participant successfully derives the relationships y = (v - u)/2 and x = (u + v)/2, confirming their correctness through established answers. The main challenge arises in determining the new limits for u and v, particularly the derivation of the limit 0 < u < pi.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of variable transformations in calculus
  • Familiarity with Jacobian determinants
  • Knowledge of inequalities and limit notation

rite I've got limits of 0<x<pi/2 and x-pi<y<x

with u=x-y, v=x+y

with a transformation from f(x,y) to f(u,v) which isn't really needed for what I am about to ask

i get he jacobian as 1/2
then get y=(v-u)/2 and x=(u+v)/2 all of which i know is right as i have the answers, this is purely revision
then when changing the limits i get every step until the last one which are
0<x<pi/2
0<(u+v)/2<pi/2
0<u+v<pi
-u<v<pi-u
0<u<pi<<<<<<<<<<<where does that come from

similarly x-pi<y<x
(u+v)/2-pi<v-u<(u+v)/2
-2pi<-2u<0
-u<v<pi-u
