什么是 Differential form; line integral?

又称: differential form · line integral

Definition 20.1 University Mathematics — Year 2 · 第 20 章 — Line Integrals and Multiple Integrals

Let U⊆R2U \subseteq \R^2 be open. A differential form of degree 11 and class C0\mathcal{C}^0 on UU is an expression ω=P  ⁣dx+Q  ⁣dy\omega = P\,\dd x + Q\,\dd y with P,Q ⁣:U→RP, Q \colon U \to \R continuous — formally, a continuous map from UU into the dual of R2\R^2, ω(M)=P(M) e1∗+Q(M) e2∗\omega(M) = P(M)\,e_1^* + Q(M)\,e_2^*. For a C1\mathcal{C}^1 arc γ ⁣:[a,b]→U\gamma \colon [a, b] \to U, γ(t)=(x(t),y(t))\gamma(t) = (x(t), y(t)), the line integral of ω\omega along γ\gamma is

∫γω=∫ab(P(γ(t)) x′(t)+Q(γ(t)) y′(t))  ⁣dt.\int_\gamma \omega = \int_a^b \Bigl(P(\gamma(t))\,x'(t) + Q(\gamma(t))\,y'(t)\Bigr)\,\dd t .

The definitions extend verbatim to R3\R^3 (forms P  ⁣dx+Q  ⁣dy+R  ⁣dzP\,\dd x + Q\,\dd y + R\,\dd z) and to piecewise C1\mathcal{C}^1 arcs (sum over the pieces).

示例

Example 20.4 (One integral, two parametrizations, one sign trap)

Compute ∫γx  ⁣dy\int_\gamma x\,\dd y along the upper unit semicircle from (1,0)(1, 0) to (−1,0)(-1, 0). With γ(t)=(cos⁡t,sin⁡t)\gamma(t) = (\cos t, \sin t), t∈[0, π]t \in \intcc0\pi:

∫0πcos⁡t⋅cos⁡t  ⁣dt=π2.\int_0^\pi\cos t\cdot\cos t\,\dd t = \frac\pi2 .

With the graph parametrization x↦(x,1−x2)x \mapsto (x, \sqrt{1 - x^2}), xx from 11 to −1-1 (note the direction!):

∫1−1x⋅−x1−x2  ⁣dx=∫−11x21−x2  ⁣dx=π2\int_1^{-1}x\cdot\frac{-x}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}\,\dd x = \int_{-1}^{1}\frac{x^2}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}\,\dd x = \frac\pi2

(x=sin⁡ux = \sin u reduces it to a Wallis integral). Same value, as Proposition 20.2 guarantees — but only because both runs go from (1,0)(1,0) to (−1,0)(-1,0); reversing the travel flips the sign. Closing the path along the xx-axis (where  ⁣dy=0\dd y = 0) adds nothing, and the total π2\frac\pi2 is the area of the half-disk: the first instance of the boundary-area formulas of Green–Riemann below.
