mXparser – user defined functions applied to Fundamental theorem of calculus

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is a kind of a link between two most important calculus concepts: derivative and integral.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus – formal statement

For continuous real-valued function $$f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$$ defined on closed interval $$[a,b]$$ let $$F:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$$ be the function given by

$$F(x)=\int_a^x f(t)\text{d}t$$

The $$F$$ is uniformly continuous on $$[a, b]$$, differentiable on the open interval $$(a, b)$$, and

$$F'(x)=f(x)$$

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus – mXparser test

import org.mariuszgromada.math.mxparser.*;
...
/* Function */
Function f = new Function("f(x) = sin(x)");
		
/* Antiderivative */
Function F = new Function("F(x) = int(f(t), t, 0, x)", f);
		
/* function = derivative ( antiderivative ) */
Argument x = new Argument("x = pi");
Expression e = new Expression("f(x) - der(F(x), x)", x, f, F);
mXparser.consolePrintln("Res : " + e.getExpressionString() + " = " + e.calculate());
mXparser.consolePrintln("Computing time = " + e.getComputingTime() + " s.");
Res : f(x) - der(F(x), x) = 6.237833817291525E-8
Computing time = 0.411 s.

  1. Hello, i feel that i saw you visited my website so i got here to go back the
    prefer?.I’m trying to find issues to enhance my site!I assume its ok to use a few of your ideas!!

    1. Formula string is a String type – if limitation exist this is related to String class. Additionally internal iterators are “int” types, so forula length is definitely limited by max int 🙂

  2. I need your help i use mxparser for a curve discussion programm, I use the 2nd derivation and sometimes it is Nan, although it shouldn’t be. Any idea to fix it?
    Examples:
    Expression e2 = new Expression(“solve( der( der(” + fkt + “, x), x), x, ” + z + “,” + (z + 1) + “)”, x);
    Expression e2ex = new Expression(“solve( der( der(” + fkt + “, x), x), x, ” + i + “,” + (i + 1) + “)”, x);

  3. ty for your fast response, here is the code:

    1. The problem is here.

      You are trying to run “solve(der(1/16*(x^4-24*x^2+128), x), x, -5.0,-4.0)”, but

      Function derf = new Function(“derf(x0) = der(1/16*(x^4-24*x^2+128), x, x0)”);
      mXparser.consolePrintln(derf.calculate(-5));
      mXparser.consolePrintln(derf.calculate(-4));

      shows that derf do not change sign in “-5” and “-4”
      [mXparser-v.4.2.0] -16.250000002983143
      [mXparser-v.4.2.0] -4.000000002415618

      thus it can not be solved numerically causing z = NaN
