When does the Frullani type integral hold equality?

In summary, the conversation discusses the conditions in which the equality holds for the integral of f(at)-f(bt) over g(t). The conversation also mentions the generalized mean value theorem and its relation to integrals.

under what condition the does the equality hold ?

[tex] \int_{0}^{\infty} dt \frac{ f(at)-f(bt)}{g(t)}= (G(b)-G(a))(f(0)-f(\infty)) [/tex]

and [tex] \int dt g(t) [/tex]

Did you mean to say
[tex]G(t)= \int dt g(t) [/tex]
in your last line?

yes i meant the integral of g(t) ,i have been looking for generalizations of this integral but without any luck , under that condition can define g(t) and f(at) f(bt) so the integral above converge ?? thank

The generalized mean value theorem says that if f and g are differentiable on (a, b) and continuous on [a, b], then there exist c in (a, b) such that
[tex]\frac{f(b)- f(a)}{g(b)- g(a)}= \frac{f'(c)}{g'(c)}[/tex]

That looks like an integral version to me.
 

What is a Frullani type integral?

A Frullani type integral is a type of integral that involves a rational function and a logarithmic function. It is named after the Italian mathematician Francesco Frullani, who first studied this type of integral.

What is the formula for a Frullani type integral?

The formula for a Frullani type integral is ∫ab f(x)g(x)dx = (g(b) - g(a)) ∫0 [f(ax) - f(bx)]/x dx, where f and g are continuous functions.

What is the significance of Frullani type integrals?

Frullani type integrals have many applications in mathematics, physics, and engineering. They are particularly useful in solving problems involving exponential and logarithmic functions, as well as in the study of special functions.

What are some common techniques for evaluating Frullani type integrals?

Some common techniques for evaluating Frullani type integrals include substitution, integration by parts, and using known integral identities. In some cases, the integral may also be evaluated by applying complex analysis methods.

Are there any special cases of Frullani type integrals?

Yes, there are several special cases of Frullani type integrals, such as the case where the function f is an even function, or when the limits of integration are infinite. These special cases may have simpler forms or can be evaluated using different techniques.
