Integration trick $int^{2pi}_{0} f(a+ r cos theta, b+rsin theta)dtheta=2pi f(a,b)$












10












$begingroup$


While looking for some nice integrals that are not taught in school, I found this theorem:




Suppose $f$ is a bivariate harmonic function; $(a,b)$ is a point in the plane; and $r$ is a positive real number. Then,
$$
int^{2pi}_{0} f(a+ r cos theta, b+rsin theta)dtheta=2pi f(a,b)
$$




Is there a nice way to prove the theorem above?



Unfortunately I have no idea how to start proving this, but I suspect it's related to Euler's formula since there is an example there that can be solved that way.

Start by writing $f$ as a function of a complex variable in the usual way, so the claimed result is



$$int_0^{2pi} dtheta ,fbigl(z_0+re^{itheta}bigr)=2pi,f(z_0)$$



with $z_0:=a+ib$. Expand the integrand as a Taylor series, viz.



$$sum_{nge 0}frac{f^{(n)}(z_0)}{n!}r^nint_0^{2pi} dtheta ,e^{intheta}.$$



The required result follows from $int_0^{2pi} dtheta, e^{intheta}=2pidelta_{n0}$.

This follows from the Mean Value Theorem for harmonic functions. Let $fin C^2(Omega)$ be a harmonic function on some open domain $Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^n$ then
$$f(x_0)=frac{1}{text{vol}(B(x_0,r))}int_{B(x_0,r)}f(x),dx=frac{1}{text{vol}(partial B(x_0,r))}int_{partial B(x_0,r)}f(x),dS$$
for every ball $B(x_0,r)subseteq Omega$. Here $partial B(x_0,r)$ is the sphere centered at $x_0$ with radius $r>0$ and $,dS$ is the element of integration on $partial B(x_0,r)$. Using the second formula for $n=2$ we obtain
$$f(x_0)=frac{1}{2pi r}int_{||x-x_0||leqslant r}f(x),dS=frac{1}{2pi }int_0^{2pi}f(x_0+rw(theta)),dtheta$$
where $w(theta):=(cos(theta),sin(theta))$. In particular for $x_0:=(a,b)$ you get the desired result.

    This follows from the Mean Value Theorem for harmonic functions. Let $fin C^2(Omega)$ be a harmonic function on some open domain $Omegasubseteqmathbb{R}^n$ then
    $$f(x_0)=frac{1}{text{vol}(B(x_0,r))}int_{B(x_0,r)}f(x),dx=frac{1}{text{vol}(partial B(x_0,r))}int_{partial B(x_0,r)}f(x),dS$$
    for every ball $B(x_0,r)subseteq Omega$. Here $partial B(x_0,r)$ is the sphere centered at $x_0$ with radius $r>0$ and $,dS$ is the element of integration on $partial B(x_0,r)$. Using the second formula for $n=2$ we obtain
    $$f(x_0)=frac{1}{2pi r}int_{||x-x_0||leqslant r}f(x),dS=frac{1}{2pi }int_0^{2pi}f(x_0+rw(theta)),dtheta$$
    where $w(theta):=(cos(theta),sin(theta))$. In particular for $x_0:=(a,b)$ you get the desired result.

            Quarter-circle Tiles

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

            build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

            Image
            0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
