Integration: Gauss quadrature formula of the Integral $\int_{-1}^1f(x)\sqrt{|x|}dx$

I want to find the formula for the Gauss quadrature that integrate the Integral $\int_{-1}^1f(x)\sqrt{|x|}\, dx$ exactly for every cubic polynomial $f$. What exactly do we have to do here? Is $\sqrt{|... user avatar MarcoDJ01

How to evaluate the following Gaussian double integral

I am trying to evaluate the following gaussian double integral $P=\int dB dA \exp(-\dfrac{Q}{2\sigma^2})$ where $Q=\sum_{i=1}^{N} (d_i-A \exp(-\alpha t_i)-B\exp(-\beta t_i))^2$ The result should yield ... user avatar Hamad El Kahza

Integral of the product of two gaussian

Let's suppose that we have $p_1$ that is the pdf of a gaussian distribution 1 and $p_2$ that is the pdf of a gaussian distribution 2. The two gaussian distributions are independent. I need to find ... user avatar sam

gaussian integral without the error function

here is my attempt.is it correct? $$I = \int e^{-x^2}dx$$ let $u = e^{-x^2}$ and $v=x$ then : $$I = xe^{-x^2} - \int -2x^2e^{-x^2} dx ; J = \int -x^2e^{-x^2}dx$$ here is where I'm in doubt am I alowed ... user avatar Ilia Varnaseri

Why the dummy variable $y$ in the calculation of the gaussian integral as follows?

I don't understand why you have to use a different variable when squared the first integral? It is commonly glossed over to explain this. user avatar bananenheld

How to prove or calculate $E[\int_{t_{i-1}}^{t_i} e^{-μ({t_i}-s)}\sigma B_s |x_{t_{i-1}}]=0$?

$B_s$ is brownian motion. Because $\int_{t_{i-1}}^{t_i} e^{-μ({t_i} -s)}\sigma dB_s $ has a Brownian component, it is normally distributed with the mean zero according to Taylor & Karin 1998 's ... user avatar Kenneth Theodore
