Verifying Green's theorem for a function












0














Let



$G = { (x,y) in mathbb{R}^2 : x^2+4y^2 >1, x^2+y^2 < 4 } $



$ int_G x^2+y^2 d(x,y) $



I want to verify Green's Theorem :
$ oint_{ partial G } f n ds = int_G operatorname{div}f, dx $



I solved for he righthand side:



$ int_G operatorname{div}f dx = frac{25}{32} pi $,



just by calculating the Integral for the circle and the ellipse separately and subtract.



For the lefthand side, I need to find $ f: G rightarrow mathbb{R^2} $ so that $ operatorname{div}f = x^2+y^2 $
that can be $ f=( frac{1}{3} x^3 , frac{1}{3} y^3 ) $



now my question is, how to proceed? :0
Do I have to split the region?
Is $ n= frac{1}{ sqrt{ (frac{1}{3} x^3 )^2+ ( frac{1}{3}y^3 )^2}} begin{pmatrix} frac{1}{3} x^3 \ frac{1}{3} y^3 end{pmatrix} $ ?



Looking forward to any help! :-)

$mathbf r$ is not normal to the ellipse. If the boundary is parametrized as $mathbf r(t) = (x(t), y(t))$, then $mathbf n(t) = (y'(t), -x'(t))$ is normal to the boundary and
$$int_{partial D} mathbf F cdot frac {mathbf n} {|mathbf n|} ,ds =
int_a^b mathbf F cdot frac {mathbf n} {|mathbf n|} ,|mathbf r'| ,dt =
int_a^b mathbf F cdot mathbf n ,dt.$$

We have $mathbf F = (x^3/3, y^3/3), ,mathbf r_1(t) = (cos t, 1/2 sin t), ,mathbf r_2(t) = (2 cos t, 2 sin t)$, thus
$$begin{aligned}
&begin{aligned}
int_{partial D} mathbf F cdot mathbf n ,dt =
&int_0^{2 pi} left( frac {cos^3 t} 3, frac {sin^3 t} {24} right) cdot
left( -frac {cos t} 2, -sin t right) dt + {} \
&int_0^{2 pi} left( frac {8 cos^3 t} 3, frac {8 sin^3 t} {3} right) cdot
(2 cos t, 2 sin t) ,dt,
end{aligned} \
&int_D nabla cdot mathbf F ,dS =
int_0^{2 pi} int_{1/sqrt{cos^2 t + 4 sin^2 t}}^2 ,r^3 dr dt.
end{aligned}$$

Both are equal to $251 pi/32$.

    $f=x^2+y^2=r^2=f=nabla cdot (r^3/4 hat{r})$



    So $vec{F}=frac{r^3}{4}hat{r}$



    The normal to a "surface" in 2d is the unit vector perpendicular to the tangent line.



    The curves here can be parameterized as



    $x=acos{theta}$



    $y=bsin{theta}$



    Where for the ellipse $a=1$, $b=1/2$. For the circle $a=b=2$



    The tangent line vector is $-asin{theta}hat{i}+bcos{theta}hat{j}$



    So the normal line vector is $bcos{theta}hat{i}+asin{theta}vec{j}$



    So the unit normal



    $hat{n}= frac{<bcos{theta}, asin{theta}>}{sqrt{b^2cos^2{theta}+a^2sin^2{theta}}}$



    $vec{r}=<acos{theta}, bsin{theta}>$



    So $vec{F}cdot hat{n}dA =frac{r^2}{4}frac{ab}{sqrt{b^2cos^2{theta}+a^2sin^2{theta}}} dtheta $



    You probably want to run that integral clockwise around the ellipse and counter clockwise around the circle. Integrate from 0 to $2pi$

            • I'm saying that if $mathbf n = (b cos theta, a sin theta)$, then $|mathbf n| = sqrt{b^2 cos^2 theta + a^2 sin^2 theta}$. Also, the divergence of $r^3/3 ,hat {mathbf r}$ is not $r^2$, it's $4 r^2/3$. And what is $dA$? Area element?

            • $nabla cdot vec{A}$ in cylindrical coordinates = $frac{partial A_r}{partial r}+frac{partial A_theta}{rpartial theta}+frac{partial A_z}{partial z}$ $vec{F}=r^3/3hat{r}$ So: $nabla cdot vec{F}=frac{partial(r^3/3)}{partial r}$ $nabla cdot vec{F}=r^2$

            $f=x^2+y^2=r^2=f=nabla cdot (r^3/4 hat{r})$



            So $vec{F}=frac{r^3}{4}hat{r}$



            The normal to a "surface" in 2d is the unit vector perpendicular to the tangent line.



            The curves here can be parameterized as



            $x=acos{theta}$



            $y=bsin{theta}$



            Where for the ellipse $a=1$, $b=1/2$. For the circle $a=b=2$



            The tangent line vector is $-asin{theta}hat{i}+bcos{theta}hat{j}$



            So the normal line vector is $bcos{theta}hat{i}+asin{theta}vec{j}$



            So the unit normal



            $hat{n}= frac{<bcos{theta}, asin{theta}>}{sqrt{b^2cos^2{theta}+a^2sin^2{theta}}}$



            $vec{r}=<acos{theta}, bsin{theta}>$



            So $vec{F}cdot hat{n}dA =frac{r^2}{4}frac{ab}{sqrt{b^2cos^2{theta}+a^2sin^2{theta}}} dtheta $



            You probably want to run that integral clockwise around the ellipse and counter clockwise around the circle. Integrate from 0 to $2pi$
