Prove that.

\int_a^b f(x)g' (x)\, dx = -f(0)


This is supposed to be a delta Dirac function property. But i can not prove it.
I thought using integration by parts.

\int_a^b f(x)g' (x)\, dx = f(x)g(x) - \int_a^b f(x)'g (x)\, dx

But what now?


Some properties:


\delta [g(x)] = \sum \frac{1}{|g'(xi)|}

\int_a^b f(x)\delta(x-xi)\, dx =

f(x_{0}) if a<x_{0}<b
0, other cases.




I just need a tip please.

In general, this is wrong. Are there any additional constraints on f,g,a,b?
If that would be true, all integrals would be trivial ;).
 
What does this have to do with the "Dirac Delta Function"? Is g' supposed to be the Dirac Delta Function? What is g?
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
