Anatomy of an integral

Published: 01 November 1979 Publication History

Abstract

In the course of my research (Davenport, 1979) into algorithms for indefinite integration, I was asked to consider the following integral (Caviness, 1978):[EQUATION]where a and b are generic (e.g. independent transcendental) constants. In particular we assume that no two roots of the denominator coincide, and that a ≠ ± b. This integral is in no integral table I have been able to find, and although it appears to be elliptic, there are many surprises in this area.
