I want to evaluate the following integral wrt $\phi$ from 0 to $2 \pi$:
Integrate[
Exp[(Γ^2 (Cos[ϕ]^2 Sin[θ]^2 σx^2 + Sin[ϕ]^2 Sin[θ]^2 σy^2)
- 2 c Γ (x0 Cos[ϕ] Sin[θ] + y0 Sin[ϕ] Sin[θ]))/(2 c^2)],
{ϕ, 0, 2 π}
]
Currently Mathematica returns the input without evaluating anything. I have tried to Simplify
the expression before evaluating the integral as well.
This can most likely be done by instead using NIntegrate
and by using specific values for each of the parameters. However, I am really interested in obtaining the analytical result of this evaluation. Is anyone aware of a method of forcing Mathematica to generate a symbolic output for this integral.
I will also post this question on Mathematics Stack Exchange to try to source a substitution or equivalent method to break this problem down.
Integrate[ Exp[ 2 Sin[\[Phi]]^2 - Cos[\[Phi]] ], {\[Phi], 0, 2 Pi}]
. Even this relatively simple form does not evaluate... $\endgroup$
