Notation for Higher Antiderivatives?












5














Higher derivative are blessed with many notations.



For example $$ f',f'',...$$ or $$ frac {dy}{dx}, frac {d^2 y}{dx^2},...$$
I have not seen any notations for higher anti-derivatives.



For example, the higher anti-derivatives of $$f(x)=2x+5$$ are $$x^2+5x+c_1, frac {x^3}{3} +frac {5}{2} x^2 + c_1x +c_2,.....$$



Are there notations for higher anti-derivatives?

    I find usually if this is coming up, the boundary conditions are somehow built into the problem, so notations like $int_0^x int_0^{x'} f(x'') dx'' dx'$ become suitable.

    Interesting question. For the first few antiderivatives we just repeat the $int$ symbol. In fact, latex allows us to write conveniently up to four of them using the iiiint command, like so: $iiiint$. At a certain point, of course, this becomes impractical. You could write it this way: $underbrace{intintcdotsint}_{ntext{ times}}$. But I wonder if there is something more compact.

  • @BenW Your last example becomes prettier if you still use the multiple integrals command: $iintcdotsint$ versus $intintcdotsint$.

    You may like one of the conventions in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_calculus#Fractional_integrals

Using Lagrange's notation as detailed in the link, $$underbrace{iintcdotsint}_{ntext{ times}}=f^{(-n)}(x)$$ Using Newton's notation as detailed in the link, $$underbrace{iintcdotsint}_{ntext{ times}}=overset{n}{overset{'}{y}}$$ although it "did not become widespread because of printing difficulties."
