Vector calculus integration identity problem












3












$begingroup$


This is a follow up from another post. I was using the integration symbols available in the Basic Math Assistant palette.



I am new to vector calculus operations. There is a known identity found in my textbook.



$$qquad int _{4 pi }hat{s} (hat{s}cdot A) d omega=frac{4 pi}{3}A$$



I have no idea how to do this type of integration. This is what I tried, but it returns a disaster:



Integrate[s*(Dot[s, A]), s, {0, 4 π}]


Also without success:



Integrate[{Sin[θ], Cos[θ]}*(Dot[{Sin[θ], Cos[θ]}, {a1, a2}]), θ, {0, 4 π}]


It is obvious that I am doing something fundamentally not correct. I go to the documentation on Vector Calculus, but it does not offer much in substance or examples. How do you enter the integral expression shown above in order to return the identity in the right?



Update



In response to comments, here is a copy of the text. This is from page 10 of Optical-Thermal Response of Laser-Irradiated Tissue.



$omega$ is the surface area of a sphere in steradians. $hat s$ is the directional vector of a pencil of radiation located inside the sphere

    What are $s$ and $omega$ supposed to be? It might be helpful if you can give an example of the textbook with the formula.

    Here's my guess: With[{s = {x, y, z}, A = {A1, A2, A3}}, Integrate[s (s.A), s [Element] Sphere] ] --- or this: With[{s = {x, y, z}, A = {A1, A2, A3}}, Integrate[s (s.A), s [Element] Sphere] == 4 Pi/3 A ]

    @Michael, yes, that does seem to be it. This is why people should always define what their variables mean in their formulae.

Here's my guess:



With[{s = {x, y, z},
A = {A1, A2, A3}}, Integrate[s (s.A), s ∈ Sphere] ]
(* {(4 A1 π)/3, (4 A2 π)/3, (4 A3 π)/3} *)


--- or this:



With[{s = {x, y, z}, A = {A1, A2, A3}},
Integrate[s (s.A), s ∈ Sphere] == 4 Pi/3 A ]
(* True *)

    @Jose, the author was being lazy with the limits (basically, shorter than saying "integrate over the whole area of the unit sphere"). It is fine to be lazy in mathematics, but not so much when programming.

    @Jose The syntax {s, 0, 4 Pi} already implies one-dimensional s from Mathematica's view, while in the "abuse of notation" used in your reference, $hat{s}$ is implied to be a vector.

    @Jose: the easiest way is that you have to switch to spherical coordinates if you need to integrate across arbitrary angles. If you insist on keeping yourself to regions, you can use RegionIntersection with Sphere and either ConicHullRegion or HalfSpace.
