We discussed Riemann-Stieltjes’s integrals of the form ò

b a

f da under the

restrictions that both f and a are defined and bounded on a finite interval [a, b] . To extend the concept, we shall relax these restrictions on f and a . Ø Definition The integral

ò

b

f da is called an improper integral of first kind if a = -¥ or

a

b = + ¥ or both i.e. one or both integration limits is infinite. Ø Definition

ò

The integral

b a

f da is called an improper integral of second kind if f ( x) is

unbounded at one or more points of a £ x £ b . Such points are called singularities of f ( x) . Ø Notations We shall denote the set of all functions f such that f ÎR(a ) on [a, b] by R(a ; a, b) . When a ( x ) = x , we shall simply write R(a, b) for this set. The notation

a - on [a, ¥) will mean that a is monotonically increasing on [a, ¥) .

Ø Definition Assume that f ÎR(a ; a, b) for every b ³ a . Keep a,a and f fixed and define a function I on [a, ¥) as follows: b

I (b) = ò f ( x ) da ( x) if b ³ a ………… (i) a

The function I so defined is called an infinite ( or an improper ) integral of first kind and is denoted by the symbol The integral

¥ a

ò

¥ a

f ( x) da ( x ) or by

ò

¥ a

f da .

f da is said to converge if the limit lim I (b) ………… (ii) b®¥

exists (finite). Otherwise,

ò

¥ a

f da is said to diverge.

If the limit in (ii) exists and equals A , the number A is called the value of the

ò

integral and we write

¥ a

f da = A

Ø Remark Every absolutely convergent integral is convergent. Ø Theorem Let f be a positive decreasing function defined on [a, + ¥) such that f ( x ) ® 0 as x ® +¥ . Let a be bounded on [a, + ¥) and assume that f ÎR(a ; a, b) for every b ³ a . Then the integral

Proof Integration by parts gives b

b

f ( x ) × a ( x) a - ò a ( x ) df b

a

b

= f (b) × a (b) - f (a ) × a (a ) + ò a d (- f ) a

It is obvious that f (b)a (b) ® 0 as b ® + ¥ (Q a is bounded and f ( x ) ® 0 as x ® +¥ ) and f (a )a (a ) is finite. b

\ the convergence of

It follows from the above theorem that convergence of lim ò

¥

a

f da implies

f da = 0 for every fixed e > 0 .

However, this does not imply that f ( x ) ® 0 as x ® ¥ . Ø Theorem Every convergent infinite integral

ò

¥

a

f ( x) da ( x) can be written as a convergent

infinite series. In fact, we have ¥

a

k =1

ò f ( x) da ( x) = å a

f da = å ak . Hence the series k =1

Ø Remarks It is to be noted that the convergence of the series in (1) does not always imply k

convergence of the integral. For example, suppose ak = ak = 0 and

ò sin 2p x dx . Then each

IMPROPER INTEGRAL OF THE SECOND KIND Ø Definition Let f be defined on the half open interval ( a, b] and assume that f ÎR(a ; x, b) for every x Î ( a, b] . Define a function I on ( a, b] as follows: b

I ( x ) = ò f da

if x Î ( a, b] ……….. (i)

x

The function I so defined is called an improper integral of the second kind and b

is denoted by the symbol

ò f (t ) da (t )

a+

b

or

ò f da .

a+

b

The integral

ò f da

is said to converge if the limit

a+

lim I ( x ) ……...(ii) exists (finite).

x ®a + b

Otherwise,

ò f da

is said to diverge. If the limit in (ii) exists and equals A , the

a+

b

number A is called the value of the integral and we write

ò f da = A .

a+

8

Chap. 8 – Improper Integrals.

Similarly, if f is defined on [a, b) and f ÎR(a ; a, x) " x Î [a, b) then x

I ( x ) = ò f da if x Î [a, b) is also an improper integral of the second kind and is a

b-

denoted as

ò

When p > 0 , the value of the sum in (i) is denoted by G( p ) . The function so defined is called the Gamma function. Ø Note The tests developed to check the behaviour of the improper integrals of Ist kind are applicable to improper integrals of IInd kind after making necessary modifications.

x ® ¥ . Also let

òa f ( x) dx be bounded when X ³ a .

¥

Then
