题目中文翻译
设
In=∫0π/2xncos(x2)dxn≥1
(a) 证明当 n≥5 时
In=21(2π)(n−1)/2−4(n−1)(n−3)In−4
(b) 因此求 I5 的精确值,并写成最简形式。
解答
(a)
解法一:降低幂次
思路
展开
这是官方评分资料的第一条路线。先把 xn 拆成 xn−1⋅x,对 xcos(x2) 积分;所得余项再把 xn−2 拆成 xn−3⋅x,第二次分部积分后便出现 In−4。条件 n≥5 保证下限处的幂次项为零。

Let
L=2π.
Writing xn=xn−1x and integrating by parts,
In==∫0Lxn−1(xcos(x2))dx[21xn−1sin(x2)]0L−2n−1∫0Lxn−2sin(x2)dx.
For the remaining integral, write xn−2=xn−3x and integrate
by parts again:
==∫0Lxn−2sin(x2)dx[−21xn−3cos(x2)]0L+2n−3∫0Lxn−4cos(x2)dx2n−3In−4.
Here the boundary term is zero because L2=2π,
cos(L2)=0, and n−3≥2. Also,
[21xn−1sin(x2)]0L=21Ln−1.
Therefore,
In==21Ln−1−4(n−1)(n−3)In−421(2π)(n−1)/2−4(n−1)(n−3)In−4.
解法二:先建立 In+4 的关系式
思路
展开
官方第二条路线先把 xn 积分、把 cos(x2) 求导,使余项的幂次上升;再做一次分部积分,得到 In+4 关于 In 的关系。最后把指标 n 换成 n−4,即可得到题设递推式。

Again let L=2π. Integrating by parts with
u=cos(x2) and dv=xndx gives
In==[n+1xn+1cos(x2)]0L+n+12∫0Lxn+2sin(x2)dxn+12∫0Lxn+2sin(x2)dx.
Integrating the remaining integral by parts,
==∫0Lxn+2sin(x2)dx[n+3xn+3sin(x2)]0L−n+32∫0Lxn+4cos(x2)dxn+3Ln+3−n+32In+4.
Hence
In=(n+1)(n+3)2Ln+3−(n+1)(n+3)4In+4,
so
In+4=21Ln+3−4(n+1)(n+3)In.
Replacing n by n−4 and using L2=2π,
In=21(2π)(n−1)/2−4(n−1)(n−3)In−4.
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
题目要求使用 (a),所以先直接求出递推式所需的 I1,再令 n=5。此时 In−4=I1,代入并化简即可。

First,
I1===∫0Lxcos(x2)dx[21sin(x2)]0L21.
Using the reduction formula from part (a) with n=5,
I5===21(2π)2−4(5−1)(5−3)I18π2−2(21)8π2−1.
