Important

定理 38.1(Leibniz 积分法则) 在正则性条件下,下式成立: $$ > \frac{d}{dx}\left(\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(x,t)\,dt\right)=f(x,b(x))\frac{db(x)}{dx}-f(x,a(x))\frac{da(x)}{dx}+\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x}\,dt > $$

Note

证明 令 \(\psi(x)=\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(x,t)\,dt\)。则 $$ > \begin{aligned} > d\psi(x)&=\psi(x+dx)-\psi(x)=\int_{a(x+dx)}^{b(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt-\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(x,t)\,dt\\ > &=-\int_{a(x)}^{a(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt+\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt+\int_{b(x)}^{b(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt-\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(x,t)\,dt > \end{aligned} > $$ 由中值定理,第一项 \(\exists\xi_1\in(a(x),a(x+dx))\) s.t. \(-\int_{a(x)}^{a(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt=-[a(x+dx)-a(x)]f(x+dx,\xi_1)\),第三项 \(\exists\xi_2\in(b(x),b(x+dx))\) s.t. \(\int_{b(x)}^{b(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt=[b(x+dx)-b(x)]f(x+dx,\xi_2)\)。于是 $$ > \begin{aligned} > \lim_{dx\to0}\frac{d\psi(x)}{dx}=&\lim_{dx\to0}\underbrace{\frac{-[a(x+dx)-a(x)]}{dx}}_{\to-a'(x)}\underbrace{f(x+dx,\xi_1)}_{\to f(x,a(x))}+\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}\lim_{dx\to0}\underbrace{\frac{f(x+dx,t)-f(x,t)}{dx}}_{\to\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x}}dt\\ > &+\lim_{dx\to0}\underbrace{\frac{[b(x+dx)-b(x)]}{dx}}_{\to b'(x)}\underbrace{f(x+dx,\xi_2)}_{\to f(x,b(x))}\\ > =&f(x,b(x))\frac{db(x)}{dx}-f(x,a(x))\frac{da(x)}{dx}+\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x}\,dt > \end{aligned} > $$ 证毕。\(\blacksquare\)

例 38.1 考虑积分方程 \(P(t)=\int_{s=t}^{+\infty}D(s)\cdot e^{-r(s-t)}\,ds\)。证明 \(\dot P\equiv\dfrac{dP(t)}{dt}=rP-D\)。

Note

证明 $$ > \begin{aligned} > \dot P=\frac{dP(t)}{dt}&=\frac{d}{dt}\int_{s=t}^{+\infty}D(s)\cdot e^{-r(s-t)}\,ds\\ > \overset{\text{Leibniz}}{=}&\int_{s=t}^{+\infty}\frac{d}{dt}\big(D(s)e^{-r(s-t)}\big)\,ds-D(t)\cdot e^{-r(t-t)}\\ > =&\int_{s=t}^{+\infty}rD(s)e^{-r(s-t)}\,ds-D(t)=r\int_{s=t}^{+\infty}D(s)e^{-r(s-t)}\,ds-D(t)=rP-D > \end{aligned} > $$ (注意 \(a(t)=t\) 给出下限项 \(-f(t,a(t))a'(t)=-D(t)e^{0}\cdot1=-D(t)\),上限 \(+\infty\) 项为零。)\(\blacksquare\)

38. Leibniz Integral Rule

This rule is about taking derivative to an integral, and it is frequently used in continuous time models.

Important

Theorem 38.1 (Leibniz integral rule) Under regularity conditions, the following equality holds: $$ > \frac{d}{dx}\left(\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(x,t)\,dt\right)=f(x,b(x))\frac{db(x)}{dx}-f(x,a(x))\frac{da(x)}{dx}+\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x}\,dt > $$

Note

Proof Let \(\psi(x)=\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(x,t)\,dt\). Then, $$ > \begin{aligned} > d\psi(x)&=\psi(x+dx)-\psi(x)=\int_{a(x+dx)}^{b(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt-\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(x,t)\,dt\\ > &=-\int_{a(x)}^{a(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt+\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt+\int_{b(x)}^{b(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt-\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}f(x,t)\,dt > \end{aligned} > $$ Consider the first term (i.e. \(-\int_{a(x)}^{a(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt\)) and the third term (i.e. \(\int_{b(x)}^{b(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt\)). By mean value theorem, \(\exists\xi_1\in(a(x),a(x+dx))\) s.t. \(-\int_{a(x)}^{a(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt=-[a(x+dx)-a(x)]f(x+dx,\xi_1)\), and \(\exists\xi_2\in(b(x),b(x+dx))\) s.t. \(\int_{b(x)}^{b(x+dx)}f(x+dx,t)\,dt=[b(x+dx)-b(x)]f(x+dx,\xi_2)\). So, $$ > \begin{aligned} > \lim_{dx\to0}\frac{d\psi(x)}{dx}=&\lim_{dx\to0}\underbrace{\frac{-[a(x+dx)-a(x)]}{dx}}_{\to-a'(x)}\underbrace{f(x+dx,\xi_1)}_{\to f(x,a(x))}+\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}\lim_{dx\to0}\underbrace{\frac{f(x+dx,t)-f(x,t)}{dx}}_{\to\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x}}dt\\ > &+\lim_{dx\to0}\underbrace{\frac{[b(x+dx)-b(x)]}{dx}}_{\to b'(x)}\underbrace{f(x+dx,\xi_2)}_{\to f(x,b(x))}\\ > =&f(x,b(x))\frac{db(x)}{dx}-f(x,a(x))\frac{da(x)}{dx}+\int_{a(x)}^{b(x)}\frac{\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x}\,dt > \end{aligned} > $$ which completes the proof. \(\blacksquare\)

Example 38.1 Consider the following integral equation, \(P(t)=\int_{s=t}^{+\infty}D(s)\cdot e^{-r(s-t)}\,ds\). Show that \(\dot P\equiv\dfrac{dP(t)}{dt}=rP-D\).

Note

Proof $$ > \begin{aligned} > \dot P=\frac{dP(t)}{dt}&=\frac{d}{dt}\int_{s=t}^{+\infty}D(s)\cdot e^{-r(s-t)}\,ds\\ > \overset{\text{Leibniz}}{=}&\int_{s=t}^{+\infty}\frac{d}{dt}\big(D(s)e^{-r(s-t)}\big)\,ds-D(t)\cdot e^{-r(t-t)}\\ > =&\int_{s=t}^{+\infty}rD(s)e^{-r(s-t)}\,ds-D(t)=r\int_{s=t}^{+\infty}D(s)e^{-r(s-t)}\,ds-D(t)=rP-D > \end{aligned} > $$ (Here the lower limit \(a(t)=t\) gives the boundary term \(-f(t,a(t))a'(t)=-D(t)e^{0}\cdot1=-D(t)\), and the upper limit \(+\infty\) term is zero.) \(\blacksquare\)
