The derivative of an even function is odd. The derivative of an odd function is even. The integral of an odd function from −A to +A is zero (where A can be finite or infinite, and the function has no vertical asymptotes between −A and A).
Intuitively, a function = (,) is a function of m even (bosonic, commuting) variables and of n odd (fermionic, anti-commuting) variables. More formally, an element f = f ( x , θ ) ∈ Λ m ∣ n {\displaystyle f=f(x,\theta )\in \Lambda ^{m\mid n}} is a function of the argument x {\displaystyle x} that varies in an open set X ⊂ R m ...
This directly results from the fact that the integrand e −t 2 is an even function (the antiderivative of an even function which is zero at the origin is an odd function and vice versa).
A different technique, which goes back to Laplace (1812), [3] is the following. Let = =. Since the limits on s as y → ±∞ depend on the sign of x, it simplifies the calculation to use the fact that e −x 2 is an even function, and, therefore, the integral over all real numbers is just twice the integral from zero to infinity.
These 2 latter inequalities follow from the convexity of the exponential function (or from an analysis of the function ). Letting u = x 2 {\displaystyle u=x^{2}} and making use of the basic properties of improper integrals (the convergence of the integrals is obvious), we obtain the inequalities:
By applying Euler's formula (= + ), it can be shown (for real-valued functions) that the Fourier transform's real component is the cosine transform (representing the even component of the original function) and the Fourier transform's imaginary component is the negative of the sine transform (representing the odd component of the ...
In integral calculus, Euler's formula for complex numbers may be used to evaluate integrals involving trigonometric functions. Using Euler's formula, any trigonometric function may be written in terms of complex exponential functions, namely e i x {\displaystyle e^{ix}} and e − i x {\displaystyle e^{-ix}} and then integrated.
In the previous two integrals, n!! is the double factorial: for even n it is equal to the product of all even numbers from 2 to n, and for odd n it is the product of all odd numbers from 1 to n; additionally it is assumed that 0!! = (−1)!! = 1.
