Dear MathGroupers,
I have the following problem. If somebody has solved it
(or a similar one) please help me to find an appropriate solution.
I need to integrate a function which is not bounded in the region of
integration, but its integral converges (it behaves like Log near +0).
So it is integrable in Lebesgue sence.
The function I am talking about is function of 2 variables x,y with
singular behavior when x==y, l - a given parameter (number).
(y-l/2)^2*BesselK[0, Abs[x-y]]
After the integration:
Integrate[ (y-l/2)^2 (BesselK[0, Abs[x-y]], {y,0,l}, {x,0,l}]/.l->0.5
has failed.
I have tried to subtract the singular part
NLimit[ BesselK[0, Abs[z]]+ Log[ Abs[z]] , z->0]
exists and is equal 0.115932.
But also
Integrate[ (y-l/2)^2 (BesselK[0, Abs[x-y]] + Log[ Abs[x-y]]),
{y,0,l}, {x,0,l}]/.l->0.5
was unsuccessfull:
Infinity::indet: Indeterminate expression -Infinity + Infinity encountered.
If somebody has an experience of work with 2D integration of unbounded
functions, please answer to
