Commutable Derivative and Integral in Multivariable Calculus

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of commuting the integral and derivative of a function, and whether there are any conditions for the function to satisfy in order for this to be possible. The operation being described is called "differentiation under the integral sign" and the theorem is stated as "If M(x,y) and dM/dy are continuous functions on some region R, then < what you wrote >". The book being referenced is about multivariable calculus and has no specific title, but was written by the person's college professor.

it is simple but i have some suspession about it
when the integral and derivative of some func can commute ?
for ex. is it possible to say
[tex]
\frac{{\partial ^{} }}{{\partial y^{} }}\int_a^b {f(x,y)dx} = \int_a^b {\frac{{\partial ^{} }}{{\partial y^{} }}f(x,y)dx}
[/tex]



or are there any condition for f(x,y) to satisfy?(?any toplogical condition other than f integrable)

I my book, the theorem reads: "If M(x,y) and dM/dy are continuous functions on some region R, then < what you wrote >"

I assume it is implied that the region R contains the interval [a,b]

thanks for reply
can you give me the name/author of the book or thm itself ?

Book has no name. Written by my college professor or multivariable calculus.
 

FAQ: Commutable Derivative and Integral in Multivariable Calculus

What is the basic difference between a derivative and an integral?

A derivative is a measure of the rate of change of a function, while an integral is a measure of the accumulation of a function over a given interval.

How are derivatives and integrals related?

Derivatives and integrals are inverse operations of each other. This means that the derivative of a function is the original function's rate of change, while the integral of a function is the area under the curve of the function.

What are some real-life applications of derivatives and integrals?

Derivatives are commonly used in physics and engineering to calculate the velocity and acceleration of moving objects. Integrals are used in calculus to find the area under a curve, which has applications in physics, engineering, and economics.

How do you find the derivative and integral of a function?

To find the derivative of a function, you can use the power rule, product rule, quotient rule, or chain rule. To find the integral of a function, you can use the fundamental theorem of calculus, which involves finding the antiderivative of the function.

Which is more important, derivatives or integrals?

Both derivatives and integrals are important in calculus and have practical applications in various fields. They are interdependent and cannot exist without the other. It is essential to understand both concepts to fully understand the behavior of functions and their applications.
