Integration by Parts in 2D: How to Apply the Rule in Polar Coordinates?

In summary, the integration by parts rule in two dimensions states that the integral of the partial derivative of w with respect to x_i times v over a region Ω is equal to the integral of w times v times the outward normal vector over the boundary of Ω, minus the integral of w times the partial derivative of v with respect to x_i over Ω. Two examples in polar coordinates are given, one with the outward normal vector in the direction of r and the other in the direction of \varphi. When integrating with respect to \varphi, the equation is multiplied by 1/r, but it is uncertain if this is correct. The question is posed if these two solutions are correct.

The integration by parts rule in two dimensions is
[itex]\int_{Ω}\frac{\partial w}{\partial x_{i}} v dΩ = \int_{\Gamma} w v \vec{n} d\Gamma - \int_{Ω} w \frac{\partial v}{\partial x_{i}} dΩ [/itex]

I have two examples in polar coordinates
In first example I have [itex]\vec{n}=\vec{n_{r}}[/itex]

[itex] \int_{\Gamma} \frac{1}{r^{2}} \frac{\partial^{2}w}{\partial\varphi^{2}}\frac{∂ v}{\partial r} \vec{n_{r}} d\Gamma = -2 \int_{Ω}\frac{1}{r^{3}}\frac{\partial^{2} w}{\partial \varphi^{2}} \frac{∂v}{∂r} dΩ + \int_{Ω}\frac{1}{r^{2}}\frac{\partial^{3} w}{∂r \partial \varphi^{2} } \frac{∂v}{∂r} dΩ + \int_{Ω}\frac{1}{r^{2}}\frac{\partial^{2} w}{\partial \varphi^{2} } \frac{∂^{2}v}{∂r^{2}} dΩ [/itex]

and in second [itex]\vec{n}=\vec{n_{\varphi}}[/itex]

[itex] \int_{\Gamma} \frac{1}{r^{2}} \frac{\partial w}{\partial\varphi}\frac{∂ v}{\partial r} \vec{n_{\varphi}} d\Gamma = \int_{Ω}\frac{1}{r^{3}}\frac{\partial^{2} w}{\partial \varphi^{2}} \frac{∂v}{∂r} dΩ + \int_{Ω}\frac{1}{r^{3}}\frac{\partial w}{\partial \varphi} \frac{∂^{2}v}{∂r∂\varphi} dΩ [/itex]

When I integrate with respect to [itex]\varphi[/itex] I multiply equation by [itex]\frac{1}{r}[/itex] but I am no sure if this is correct.

Are this two solutions correct?

Thanks for answers

Functions w and v are functions of r and [itex]\varphi[/itex] ( w = w(r, [itex]\varphi[/itex]) and v = v(r, [itex]\varphi[/itex]))
 

FAQ: Integration by Parts in 2D: How to Apply the Rule in Polar Coordinates?

What is integration by parts in 2D?

Integration by parts in 2D is a mathematical technique used to solve integrals of functions with two variables. It involves breaking down the integral into smaller parts and applying the product rule of differentiation to simplify the integral.

When is integration by parts in 2D used?

Integration by parts in 2D is typically used when the integral involves a product of two functions, and one of the functions is easier to integrate than the other. It is also useful for solving integrals involving trigonometric functions.

How does integration by parts in 2D work?

The integration by parts formula for 2D is: ∫∫ u(x,y)v'(x,y) dxdy = ∫∫ u(x,y)v(x,y) - ∫∫ u'(x,y)v(x,y) dxdy. This formula involves substituting the function with two variables into the integral, differentiating one of the variables, and then integrating the other variable.

What are the steps for using integration by parts in 2D?

The steps for using integration by parts in 2D are:

  1. Choose u and v, the two functions in the integral.
  2. Differentiate u with respect to one of the variables.
  3. Integrate v with respect to the other variable.
  4. Substitute the functions into the integration by parts formula.
  5. Solve for the integral.

Are there any tips for using integration by parts in 2D?

Some tips for using integration by parts in 2D include:

  • Choose u and v carefully, as it can significantly affect the complexity of the integral.
  • Try to choose u as the more complicated function, and v as the simpler function.
  • If the integral becomes more complicated after using integration by parts, try using the technique again.
  • Always check your answer by differentiating it to see if it matches the original function.
