I am not interested in the closed form solution of M(T) - and that's a great pity, since your equation can be solved exactly by using Laplace transform - for the numbers you have, and in the general case you can go a long way using the same approach. Analytical solution Applying Laplace transform to both sides of your equation, $\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-p ... 10 This is not an answer, but a hint how to possibly proceed. It is a pity to pass on some nice Wolfram Language abilities. Let me know if I should remove it. Idea is: I think YOU should be the first to derive this integral - if it is possible. Consider only rational numbers. If this integral behaves smoothly - which it obviously does: ... 10 If what you really want is to find all natural numbers$a$and$b$on the surface for a given$n$, a search among the divisors of$2n$will do it efficiently even for sizable values of$a$and$b$. To do this, we find all divisors$k$of$2n$(Divisors), then all divisors of the quotient$2n/k$(Divisors again), forming triples$(u,v,w)$for which$uvw=2n$... 10 Mathematica is an incredible tool for checking conjectures and making sketches. I'm going to demonstrate it below. Let's start with checking that in case when$R_0$(I replaced it with$R$) is a polynomial, the solution of this Volterra equation reduces to linear ODE. Lets take some derivatives of the equation: ClearAll[P, R, s, t]; eqn = P[t] == R[t] + ... 8 Something similar showed up on StackExchange a while back (last August). http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6974929/how-can-i-reference-a-specific-point-of-my-function-inside-ndsolve Here is a variant from one response that I cobbled together to illustrate your case. I chose the kernel function (your R_0) to be e^(-x) + x sin(x) - x cos(x^2). I attempt to ... 8 There are many sources that give practical advice on how to program such an integral equation. So I went a different route and asked myself how to get a solution by using the most literal application of the defining equation. By that I mean no explicit discretization, keeping the integral. That can be done using the assumption that the fixed-point theorem ... 8 In Version 9 currently, we can do (using the Undocumented form of Integrate): Integrate[Boole[z >= 0] z, {x, y, z} ∈ Sphere[{0, 0, 0}, 4]] 64 Pi Note: This is undocumented behaviour and functionality may change or behave differently in newer versions of Mathematica so use with caution e.g. as noted by Szabolcs in the comment, Sphere in V10 ... 7 Using your definitions (using the placeholder pattern f1[y_] instead of the absolute pattern f1[y] is usually a good idea if you want to use it as a function that works with numerical values, too. Also using := (SetDelayed) instead of = (Set) inserts the left hand side value y into the definition every time you use it, which is closer to the behavior you ... 7 Since you explicitly asked for a way to do this integral in spherical coordinates, here is a formulation that works in all versions of Mathematica. First I define the spherical coordinates, and then I do the triple integral using the Jacobi determinant: {x, y, z} = r {Cos[ϕ] Sin[θ], Sin[ϕ] Sin[θ], Cos[θ]}; Integrate[ z Abs[Det[D[{x, y, z}, {{r, θ, ... 6 Your s lives on the ray [1,infinity). Integrate can kinda figure out s is real. Tell it about the other variables and then we'll proceed from there. i1 = Integrate[(-(Cos[b*s] - (2*Sin[b*s]*(a*d - b*c))/(a^2 + b^2))/ E^(a*s))^2, {s, 1, \[Infinity]}, Assumptions -> {Element[{b, c, d}, Reals], a > 0}] (* Out[152]= 1/4 (1/a + 1/(2 a - 2 I b) + ... 6 This might help you get started. I think this is a variation on a method called Frobenius' method; the idea is to use the fact that the equation is linear to expand the solution over a set of basis functions (here B-Splines) and find the corresponding coefficients. It should provide you with an approximate solution (which you can improve upon while adding ... 6 The integral is conditionally convergent. You can progress using substitution:$u=2^{\frac{r}{b}}\iff r= b\log_2 u $Hence,$\frac{dr}{du}=\frac{b}{u\ln 2}$You can do these substitutions in Mathematica: f[r_, b_, la_, k_] := 2^(r/b) Exp[k (2^(r/b) - 1)/la]/(b la) exp = f[x, a1, a2, a3] /. {2^(x/a1) -> u}; ex = D[a1 Log[2, u], u]; ans = Integrate[a1 ... 6 Here I define the expression and integrate it term by term using Distribute. Then I differentiate each term but with a Defer wrapping it, so the derivatives aren't actually carried out. FInally, I replace the terms that weren't integrated by the original function: expression = -Sin[t] + g[t] (* ==> g[t] - Sin[t] *) integrals = ... 6 The more natural way to express this problem is Integrate[Boole[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 <= 16] z, {x, -4, 4}, {y, -4, 4}, {z, 0, 4}] (* ==> 64 Pi *) This works in version 9 and earlier. In version 10 we can get fancy and do Integrate[Boole[z >= 0] z, {x, y, z} ∈ Ball[{0, 0, 0}, 4]] (* ==> 64 Pi *) 5 If you want to solve the Fredholm equation of the second kind which is an integral equation of the form $$f(x) - \lambda\int_{a}^{b} K(x,y)f(y)dy = g(x), \quad \forall x \in [a, b]$$ you can use the following code. We follow the simplistic source. One can make it much better by considering further implementation aspects as well as injecting more state of ... 5 Not knowing what the actual differential equation is, I can only point out one obvious problem: you should define Clear[r,f,y]; M1[r_] = Integrate[(1 + f*Exp[-(r/y)^2])*(r)^2, r] instead of using := NIntegrate because you seem to be looking for an indefinite integral there. For numerical integration you have to specify integration limits. The Clear is ... 5 Here is a series-expansion way of doing your integral. Expand the integrand as Sum[(-1)^n Sin[θ/2]^(n β), {n, 0, ∞}] (* 1/(1+Sin[θ/2]^β) *) Integrate each term in the sum using Integrate[Sin[θ/2]^(n β), {θ, 0, π}] (* ConditionalExpression[(Sqrt[π] Gamma[1/2 (1 + n β)])/Gamma[1 + (n β)/2], Re[n β] > -1] *) Fold it all together to obtain ... 5 Since OP seems to be interested in numerical calculations, this might be more suitable: f0[x_]:= 1/Sqrt[2*Pi*1^2]*E^(-(x + 1)^2/(2*1^2)) q[1, A_, B_, f_] := f q[n_ /; n > 1, A_, B_, f_][x_] := Module[{ω},tempIntegrate[Evaluate[q[n - 1, A, B, f]][ω] f[x - ω], {ω, A, B}]] p[n_, A_, B_, f_] := tempIntegrate[q[n, A, B, f][x], {x, -∞, B}] + ... 5 I found a good solution. The new version of Mathematica is using the symbolic processing, so we can just turn it off. b[i_] := NIntegrate[(Sin[x] - 1) x^i, {x,-5,5}, Method->{Automatic,"SymbolicProcessing"->0}] source: Techniques for Accelerating NIntegrate Evaluations http://support.wolfram.com/kb/3442 5 Compute the indefinite integral instead. b[i_] := b[i] = Integrate[(Sin[x] - 1) x^i, x] Timing@N[Sum[(b@i /. x -> 5) - (b@i /. x -> -5), {i, 30}], 8] (* {0.359375, -3.7741840*10^20} *) 5 Clear["Global`*"] expr = y^2 - 2 x^2 y + 6 x^3 - 3*x*y + 2 y - 6; Integrate[ expr Boole[y >= 2*x^2 - 2 && y <= 3*x], {x, -Infinity, Infinity}, {y, -Infinity, Infinity}] -(36625/2688) Reduce[y >= 2*x^2 - 2 && y <= 3*x, y] (x == -(1/2) && y == -(3/2)) || (-(1/2) < x < 2 && -2 + 2 x^2 ... 4 I made this for you. It should get you started. Here you can type a function to integrate, for example: func[x_] := 1/Exp[x] This is your integrator. It takes a function f, a lower and upper bound a,b and a step size l: riemint[f_, a_, b_, l_] := Total[ Table[ f[i]*l, {i, a, b - l, l}]] You can try it out like this: riemint[ func, 1, 5, .0001] ... 4 For the scalar case: Set up a function, h, depending on EFermi, and use FindRoot to solve h[EFermi]==c Clear[g, f, h]; g[x_] = Exp[-x^2/5000]; f[x_, EFermi_] = (1 + Exp[(x - EFermi)/25])^-1; h[EFermi_?NumericQ] := NIntegrate[g[x] f[x, EFermi], {x, -200, 200}] c = 100; sol = FindRoot[h[e] == c, {e, 10}] h[e] /. sol (* {e -> 55.2154} *) (* 100. *) ... 4 f[t_?NumericQ] = Sqrt[(-50.8938 Sin[8.4823 t])^2 + (4 - 11.3097 Sin[11.3097 t])^2]; Looking at a plot of f[t] to find an initial value for t in FindRoot Plot[f[t], {t, 0, .1}] Clear[a] a = a /. FindRoot[ NIntegrate[f[t], {t, 0, a}] == 1, {a, 0.08}] // Quiet 0.0680318 Check NIntegrate[f[t], {t, 0, a}] 1. Show[ RegionPlot[0 ... 4 You set up the integral incorrectly. You are mixing up$\varphi$and$\theta$. 3 How about: numPoints = 10; dd[a_, b_, n_] := (a + 1) (b + 1) (a + b + 2)/2 - n FindInstance[ dd[aa, bb, nn] == 0 && aa > 0 && bb > 0 && nn > 0, {aa, bb, nn}, Integers, numPoints] One could be slicker, but this works. 3 It seems to me that for your first stated problem there is a much better method than Solve or Reduce: {m, k, p} = {16, 3, 6}; IntegerPartitions[m, {k}, Range@p] {{6, 6, 4}, {6, 5, 5}} If you want all permutations just use Permutations: Join @@ Permutations /@ % {{6, 6, 4}, {6, 4, 6}, {4, 6, 6}, {6, 5, 5}, {5, 6, 5}, {5, 5, 6}} For your second ... 3 I was not going to post this because in a previous edit (now gone) you showed a very difficult problem. Anyway, the current question could be answered as follows: You want to find f[x] satisfying f[x] == Integrate[f[x] g[x], x] for a known g[x]. Differentiating: f'[x] == g[x] f[x] So for example g[x_] := Sin@x^2; fs = DSolve[f'[x] == g[x] ... 3 This is a way which will give you a the final solution in terms of$\beta$. The idea is generate a Table of solution for different$\beta$value and then find a fitting function. I choose here$-10<\beta<10\$. data = Table[{\[Beta],NIntegrate[1/(Sin[\[Theta]/2]^\[Beta] + 1), {\[Theta],0,\[Pi]}]}, {\[Beta], -10, 10, .5}]; ListPlot[data] sol1 = ...
