Second derivative of an integral

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of the Leibniz rule for differentiating under the integral sign, specifically regarding the second derivative of the integral \(\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}(t-\epsilon )\phi (\epsilon)d\epsilon\). Participants confirm that this expression simplifies to \(\phi''(t)\) under certain conditions. The conversation also explores the validity of expressing \(\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}t \cdot \phi (\epsilon)d\epsilon\) as \(\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}} \cdot t\int_{0}^{t}\phi (\epsilon)d\epsilon\), emphasizing the necessity of ensuring \(t \neq f(\epsilon)\). The Leibniz rule is identified as a crucial tool for these calculations.

Good day,

I don't understand the following:

\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}(t-\epsilon )\phi (\epsilon)d\epsilon=\phi''(t)

All I know is:

\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}(t-\epsilon )\phi (\epsilon)d\epsilon=\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}t \cdot \phi (\epsilon)d\epsilon-\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}\epsilon \cdot \phi (\epsilon)d\epsilon

Is it allowed to say:

\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}t \cdot \phi (\epsilon)d\epsilon=\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}\cdot t\int_{0}^{t}\phi (\epsilon)d\epsilon?

And if so, why is this correct? This is only correct when t\neq f(\epsilon ), right? But I am not sure whether this is the case...

Thank you in advance!

The result (if correct; I haven't checked) will follow from the Liebniz rule:

\frac{d}{dt}\int_{\alpha(t)}^{\beta(t)} du~f(u,t) = \int_{\alpha(t)}^{\beta(t)}du~ \frac{\partial}{\partial t}f(u,t) + f(t,t)\frac{d\beta}{dt} - f(t,t)\frac{d\alpha}{dt}

Then you have to do the derivative again, so you would have to use the Liebniz rule on the integral term again.

I think it's

\frac{d^{2}}{dt^{2}}\int_{0}^{t}(t-\epsilon )\phi (\epsilon)d\epsilon=\phi(t)
