  2. Riemann sum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_sum

    While not derived as a Riemann sum, taking the average of the left and right Riemann sums is the trapezoidal rule and gives a trapezoidal sum. It is one of the simplest of a very general way of approximating integrals using weighted averages. This is followed in complexity by Simpson's rule and Newton–Cotes formulas.

  3. Riemann integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_integral

    Each term in the sum is the product of the value of the function at a given point and the length of an interval. Consequently, each term represents the (signed) area of a rectangle with height f(t i) and width x i + 1 − x i. The Riemann sum is the (signed) area of all the rectangles. Closely related concepts are the lower and upper Darboux sums.

  4. Integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral

    The value of the surface integral is the sum of the field at all points on the surface. This can be achieved by splitting the surface into surface elements, which provide the partitioning for Riemann sums. [46] For an example of applications of surface integrals, consider a vector field v on a surface S; that is, for each point x in S, v(x) is ...

  5. Numerical integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_integration

    A quadrature rule is an approximation of the definite integral of a function, usually stated as a weighted sum of function values at specified points within the domain of integration. Numerical integration methods can generally be described as combining evaluations of the integrand to get an approximation to the integral.

  6. Partition of an interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_an_interval

    A partition of an interval being used in a Riemann sum. The partition itself is shown in grey at the bottom, with the norm of the partition indicated in red. In mathematics, a partition of an interval [a, b] on the real line is a finite sequence x 0, x 1, x 2, …, x n of real numbers such that a = x 0 < x 1 < x 2 < … < x n = b.

  7. Riemann–Stieltjes integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann–Stieltjes_integral

    The Riemann–Stieltjes integral admits integration by parts in the form () = () () ()and the existence of either integral implies the existence of the other. [2]On the other hand, a classical result [3] shows that the integral is well-defined if f is α-Hölder continuous and g is β-Hölder continuous with α + β > 1 .

  8. Explicit formulae for L-functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_formulae_for_L...

    Riemann's original use of the explicit formula was to give an exact formula for the number of primes less than a given number. To do this, take F(log(y)) to be y 1/2 /log(y) for 0 ≤ y ≤ x and 0 elsewhere. Then the main term of the sum on the right is the number of primes less than x.

  9. Equidistributed sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equidistributed_sequence

    Therefore, if some sequence is equidistributed in [a, b], it is expected that this sequence can be used to calculate the integral of a Riemann-integrable function. This leads to the following criterion [1] for an equidistributed sequence: Suppose (s 1, s 2, s 3, ...) is a sequence contained in the interval [a, b]. Then the following conditions ...
