How to Approach a Double Exponential Integral?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on techniques for evaluating the double exponential integral represented by the expression $$ \int_{(1)}^{(2)}\exp\left[ a+b\exp\left[ f(x) \right] \right]dx$$. A suggested approach includes substituting ln(z) for f(x), leading to the transformation $$\displaystyle{e^a\int \dfrac{c^u}{u \cdot\dfrac{d}{dx}f(x)}}\,du$$, where c is defined as e^b and u as exp(f(x)). The need for additional information about the derivative f' is emphasized for further progress.

How to approach this? Integrating a double exponential
Hello frens,

How should one approach this sort of integral? Any tips would be appreciated.

Let's say we have

$$ \int_{(1)}^{(2)}\exp\left[ a+b\exp\left[ f(x) \right] \right]dx$$

...where the limits of integration are not important.

Any tips? Thanks!

Try substituting ln(z)=f(x)
 
I get ##\displaystyle{e^a\int \dfrac{c^u}{u \cdot\dfrac{d}{dx}f(x)}}\,du## so I need more information about ##f',## with ##c=e^b\ ,\ u=\exp(f(x)).##
 
fresh_42 Thank you, I will make my problem a little more..."firm."
