Mark44 said:So your integral looks to me to be $$\int_a^\infty \frac 1 r ~~dr$$
What do you get for that improper integral?
If you aren't able to do that integration, I don't understand why you're trying to integrate the Heaviside function.MahaRoho said:Thanks! I don't have any answer tho!
Do a web search for "indefinite integral of Heaviside function".MahaRoho said:Btw, is not integration of H(r-rd)=(r-rd) H(r-rd)?
