- (2) For almost all , the derivative exists for all
- (3) There is an integrable function such that for all
Then for all
Integration by parts lead
[edit]
In calculus, and more generally in mathematical analysis, integration by parts is a theorem that relates the integral of a product of functions to the integral of their derivative and antiderivative. It is frequently used to find the antiderivative of a product of functions into an ideally simpler antiderivative. The rule can be derived in one line by simply integrating the product rule of differentiation.
The theorem states that if u and v are continuously differentiable functions then
It can be stated more compactly using the differentials du = u′(x) dx and dv = v′(x) dx as
More general formulations of integration by parts exist for the Riemann–Stieltjes integral and Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral. A discrete analogue holds for sequences, called summation by parts.
Integration by parts
[edit]
The formula for integration by parts can be extended to functions of several variables. Instead of an interval one needs to integrate over an n-dimensional set. Also, one replaces the derivative with a partial derivative.
More specifically, suppose Ω is an open bounded subset of with a piecewise smooth boundary . If u and v are two continuously differentiable functions on the closure of Ω, then the formula for integration by parts is
where is the outward unit surface normal to , is its i-th component, and i ranges from 1 to n.
We can obtain a more general form of the integration by parts by replacing v in the above formula with vi and summing over i gives the vector formula
where v is a vector-valued function with components v1, ..., vn.
Setting u equal to the constant function 1 in the above formula gives the divergence theorem
- .
For where , one gets
which is the first Green's identity.
The regularity requirements of the theorem can be relaxed. For instance, the boundary need only be Lipschitz continuous. In the first formula above, only is necessary (where H1 is a Sobolev space); the other formulas have similarly relaxed requirements.

But this is only true if h is linear! Otherwise we'd need terms with higher derivatives in h (and lower derivatives in f).
