- While working on an optimization problem related to compression
- I bumped into the following nasty little problem :
-
- evaluate:
-
- { [(i+1)q }
- d { [ }
- --- { Integral [ (x - (i + 0.5) q)^2 * exp(-c * x) dx }
- dq { [ }
- { [i*q }
-
- I have evaluated the integral..... and it is terribly nasty. Even if I
- didn't goof on the evaluation, i would surely goof on the differentiation.
-
- c and i are constants. I'm trying to minimize error for q.
-
- I seem to remember some terribly nasty formulas for handling the
- differentiation before evaluating any integral.
-
- I think it involved the bounds, derivitives of the bounds, the integrand
- and the derivitave of the integrand.
-
- My memory comes from a dim recolection of some stuff covered
- by Dr. Sawchuk at USC (southern cal) in a class on random variables
- based on the book by papoulis. I cannot find it mentioned in papoulis...
- i think is was ONLY in Sawchuk's notes (which i cannot find).
-
- any advise, help, or refrences are welcome.
-
- If i knew the NAME of this theorem, I might be able to look it up.
-
- thanks in advance,
-
