This CD extends calculus1 (compatible with the calculus operations in Content MathML) with a Cauchy principal value definite integral.


defint

Description:

This symbol is used to represent definite (Cauchy principal value) integration of unary functions. It takes two arguments; the first being the range (e.g. a set) of integration, and the second the function.

Commented Mathematical property (CMP):
for all a,b | integral from a to b = -integral from b to a
Formal Mathematical property (FMP):
  
a , b . defint ( ( a , b ) , λ x . f ( x ) ) = - defint ( ( b , a ) , λ x . f ( x ) )
Example:
An example: the definition of the exponential integral. $$Ei(x)=\int_{-\infty}^x\frac{e^t}t dt\qquad(x>0)$$
  
x > 0 Ei ( x ) = defint ( ( - , x ) , t . )
