finding value of integral












3












$begingroup$


$$int_0^{pi/2} (cos x)^{2011} sin (2013 x) dx $$



The value is given to be $frac{1}{2012}$. I am while solving using by parts, but one term is remaining like $frac{1}{2}$, then $frac{1}{3},$ and so on. Kindly help.



what i am stuck at is following.



$$I(m,n) =int_0^{pi/2} (cos x)^{m} sin (n x) dx $$
$$I(m,n)= frac {1}{m+n} + frac{m}{m+n}I(m-1,n-1)$$
after deriving this i am not able to proceed further

    This double recurrence relationship looks a deadend. I have found the general formula $$int_0^{pi/2} (cos x)^{nu-2} sin (nu x) dx=dfrac{1}{nu-1} $$ in a book. It can help to buid a more sympathetic recurrence...

Hint:



$n=m+2implies$ $$I_{(m,m+2)}=dfrac1{2m+2}+dfrac m{2m+2}I_{(m-1,m+1)}$$



$I_{(0,2)}=1$



$m=1implies$ $$I_{(1,3)}=dfrac14+dfrac14I_{(0,2)}=dfrac12$$



$m=2implies$ $$I_{(2,4)}=dfrac16+dfrac13I_{(1,3)}=dfrac13$$



Use induction for $I_{(m-1,m+1)}=dfrac2{m-1+m+1}$

Note that
$$
begin{align}
I(m,n)
&=int_0^{pi/2}cos^m(x)sin(nx),mathrm{d}xtag1\
&=int_0^{pi/2}cos^{m+1}(x)sin((n-1)x),mathrm{d}x+int_0^{pi/2}cos^m(x)cos((n-1)x)sin(x),mathrm{d}xtag2\
&=I(m+1,n-1)-frac1{m+1}int_0^{pi/2}cos((n-1)x),mathrm{d}cos^{m+1}(x)tag3\
&=I(m+1,n-1)+frac1{m+1}-frac{n-1}{m+1}int_0^{pi/2}cos^{m+1}(x)sin((n-1)x),mathrm{d}xtag4\
&=frac{m-n+2}{m+1},I(m+1,n-1)+frac1{m+1}tag5
end{align}
$$

Explanation:
$(1)$: define $I(m,n)$
$(2)$: $sin(nx)=sin((n-1)x)cos(x)+cos((n-1)x)sin(x)$
$(3)$: prepare to integrate by parts
$(4)$: integrate by parts
$(5)$: simplify



Plug in $m=2011$ and $n=2013$ and see what happens.



However, this gives the answer $frac1{2012}$, which is confirmed by Mathematica.

      Note that
      $$
      begin{align}
      I(m,n)
      &=int_0^{pi/2}cos^m(x)sin(nx),mathrm{d}xtag1\
      &=int_0^{pi/2}cos^{m+1}(x)sin((n-1)x),mathrm{d}x+int_0^{pi/2}cos^m(x)cos((n-1)x)sin(x),mathrm{d}xtag2\
      &=I(m+1,n-1)-frac1{m+1}int_0^{pi/2}cos((n-1)x),mathrm{d}cos^{m+1}(x)tag3\
      &=I(m+1,n-1)+frac1{m+1}-frac{n-1}{m+1}int_0^{pi/2}cos^{m+1}(x)sin((n-1)x),mathrm{d}xtag4\
      &=frac{m-n+2}{m+1},I(m+1,n-1)+frac1{m+1}tag5
      end{align}
      $$

      Explanation:
      $(1)$: define $I(m,n)$
      $(2)$: $sin(nx)=sin((n-1)x)cos(x)+cos((n-1)x)sin(x)$
      $(3)$: prepare to integrate by parts
      $(4)$: integrate by parts
      $(5)$: simplify



      Plug in $m=2011$ and $n=2013$ and see what happens.



      However, this gives the answer $frac1{2012}$, which is confirmed by Mathematica.
