I How to Approach a Double Exponential Integral?

Click For Summary
To approach the double exponential integral of the form ∫ exp[a + b exp[f(x)]] dx, it's suggested to use the substitution ln(z) = f(x). This leads to a transformation involving the integral of c^u/(u * f'(x)) du, where c = e^b and u = exp(f(x)). Additional information about the derivative f' is necessary for further simplification. The discussion emphasizes the need for a more defined function f(x) to proceed effectively. Overall, a clear understanding of the function's behavior is crucial for solving the integral.

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)).##
