Commutable Derivative and Integral in Multivariable Calculus

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the conditions under which differentiation and integration can be interchanged in the context of multivariable calculus, specifically focusing on the expression involving the partial derivative and the integral of a function of two variables.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster questions the conditions necessary for the interchange of the derivative and integral, particularly whether there are topological conditions required beyond the integrability of the function.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided references to theorems related to the topic, indicating that continuity of certain functions is a key factor. However, there is no explicit consensus on the specific conditions or theorems being discussed.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention a theorem from a textbook, but the exact source and author remain unspecified, which may affect the clarity of the discussion.

it is simple but i have some suspession about it
when the integral and derivative of some func can commute ?
for ex. is it possible to say
[tex] \frac{{\partial ^{} }}{{\partial y^{} }}\int_a^b {f(x,y)dx} = \int_a^b {\frac{{\partial ^{} }}{{\partial y^{} }}f(x,y)dx} [/tex]



or are there any condition for f(x,y) to satisfy?(?any toplogical condition other than f integrable)

I my book, the theorem reads: "If M(x,y) and dM/dy are continuous functions on some region R, then < what you wrote >"

I assume it is implied that the region R contains the interval [a,b]
 
thanks for reply
can you give me the name/author of the book or thm itself ?
 
Book has no name. Written by my college professor or multivariable calculus.
