A Integrating partial derivatives in a field equation

[Samson Ogaga Ojako]

I am integrating the below:

\begin{equation}
\psi(r,v)=\int \left( \frac{\frac{\partial M(r,v)}{\partial r}}{r-2M(r,v)}\right)dr
\end{equation}

I am trying to write ψ in terms of M.

Please, any assistance will be appreciated.​

Is it good enough to write $\psi$ in terms of $M$ and $\int \frac{M}{r^2}dr$?

If yes then just write $\psi=\int ((\frac{\partial M}{\partial r}\frac{1}{r}-\frac{M}{r^2})+\frac{M}{r^2}-2M)dr$ and notice that the first term is the derivative of $\frac{M}{r}$ so after all it will be $$\psi=\frac{M}{r}-2\int Mdr+\int \frac{M}{r^2}dr+C$$

Is r a radius? (Or any other dimensionsl quantity?) If so, where did this integral come from?

The 'r' is a shell radius while the "v" is the time.
The question is related to spacetime.

Thank you for getting in touch

This looks so good enough, Sir.
I must say, thank you very much.
Let me look at how you were able to simplify the integration first.
This is brilliant.
I will get back to you just now.

Cheers

This does not answer where your integral came from. The reason I am asking is that if $r$ is dimensionful, then your expression is dimensionally inconsistent because $(\partial M/\partial r)/r$ does not have the same physical dimension as $M$.

Maybe there is some sort of constant (with the proper units) in front of the $-2M$ term, which he omitted.

See the attached for details of how \psi, #M# and #r# are related.

Best regard.

So you have not transcribed the problem correctly then. The integrand is
$$
\frac{\partial_r M}{r - 2M},
$$
not
$$
\frac{\partial_r M}{r} - 2M.
$$

I think he is unable to see the typing clearly because of the way the question is typed.

So, I've decided to attach a copy of the typed question to him for a better understanding of the question.

Thank you once again.
Cheers

Yeah

 

[Delta2]

Ah, then what I did in post # 2 is not correct...

Oh ok.

You can take a second look at it again while I retype the question in LaTeX.

Cheers

Well this look like some sort of assignment or homework. You have to show us some effort from your side.

All I can think right now is to transform the integral so that we get as end result $-\frac{1}{2}\ln|r-2M|+\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{1}{r-2M} dr +C$

It is not really a homework or assignment. This is part of my research finding. I've gotten to a stage where I have 3 field equations with 3 variables #M#, #\psi# and #phi# all are functions of #(r,v)#

\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial {m}}{\partial v} = 4\pi{r^{2}}\phi_{v} \left[e^{-\psi}\phi_{v} + \left( 1-\frac{2m}{r}\right) \phi_{r} \right] = m^{\prime}(v)
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial {\psi}}{\partial r} = 4\pi{r^{2}}\phi_{r}^2 = \psi^{\prime}(r)
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial {m}}{\partial r} = 2\pi{r^{2}}\phi_{r}^2 \left( 1-\frac{2m}{r}\right) = m^{\prime}(r)
\end{equation}

From equations 2 and 3, I was able to get what I shared online.

\begin{equation}
\psi(r,v)=\int \left( \frac{\frac{\partial M(r,v)}{\partial r}}{r-2M(r,v)}\right)dr
\end{equation}.

I have made some effort to get #\psi# in terms of #M# so that I can solve equation 1.

Please, you can help if you can.

Can you have a look again at your equations (3) and (4) , because from those two I get that

$$\psi=\int \frac {2r\frac{\partial M}{\partial r}}{r-2M}dr$$

Oh ok.

Let me check again then.

You are right Sir
