Equal Integration on Real and Rotated Axes: Why the Difference at +pi/4?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the integration results along real and rotated axes, specifically at +pi/4. It highlights that while the integration yields the same value on the real axis and at -pi/4, it differs significantly at +pi/4, leading to questions about the underlying reasons for this discrepancy. Participants express difficulty accessing the provided link, which contains relevant information on stationary phase models. The conversation emphasizes the need to understand the mathematical principles that govern these integration outcomes. Overall, the focus is on clarifying the differences in integration results across these specific axes.

bonjour,

on http://galileo.phys.virginia.edu/cla...atPhase101.htm
we have the same value on the real axe and on rotated one by-pi/4?
<Note that the result of integration is different wit a rotation of +pi/a (infinity)
regards

Sorry I can't open that page.
 
of course the question is: why is there an equality when integrating on these axes(real and -pi/4) and why ist it different an the +pi/4 axe?
thanks
 

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
