  • This is the video you've all been waiting for!!! In this video, which is a sequel to my half-derivative of x video, I evaluate the imaginary derivative of x, that is the alpha-th derivative of x, where alpha = i. Although there is no formal definition of the imaginary derivative, I can still calculate it by analogy to what I did with the half-derivative video. Enjoy!

    Typo: I forgot to put i sinh(pi) in the final answer.
    The answer should be:
    (i-1)/2pi Gamma(i) i sinh(pi) (x cos(ln(x)) + i x sin(ln(x)))
    Which can be written as:
    (i-1)/2pi Gamma(i) sinh(pi) (- x sin(ln(x)) + i x cos(ln(x)))

      We all make mistakes! Thanks for noticing & correcting.... but..... there is perhaps a deeper issue that shows just before 7:39. ....Does simply stating something to be true make it so? (I won’t drag in politics here, but there IS a real-life example or two in the current news)...You claim that the formula derived for real number derivatives is valid for complex numbers. In what way has this been demonstrated, shown or proven?!? [and I’m curious to know if any demonstrated results have important applications and uses). I haven’t finished watching due to other priority tasks, but this is in my « play » list ( = WORK!).

      @@drpeyam Interestingly, raising to the power of a differential operator is possible: if D is the differential operator, then you can "formally" find its exponential via
      e^D = 1 + D + D^2/2! + D^3/3! + ...
      where D^n represents n-fold differentiation, and this acts as you'd expect on a function by
      (e^D) f = (1 + D + D^2/2! + D^3/3! + ...)f = f + Df + (D^2 f)/2! + (D^3 f)/3! + ...
      So you _could_ find that the Dth derivative of x should have x^(1-D) as power, which equals x x^(-D) = x e^(-ln(x) D) and the latter can be found using the above series expansion (only will have powers (-1)^n ln(x)^n D^n instead of just D^n in the numerators). Taking the gamma of D, on the other hand ... that I have no idea. But the Dth derivative will be an operator - a very weird one.
      ADD: Actually, e^D has a nice interpretation as the unit translation operator - I just remember: [(e^D) f](x) = f(x + 1) for a suitable f. This has deep significance in quantum mechanics (in theoretical physics), too.

    Hey, I found a way to think of Gamma(i), assuming I did it right. If you plug i into the integral and expand it with Euler's formula, you get two integrals: integral of 1/x*cos(lnx)e^-x and i*1/x*sin(lnx)e^-x. With the u sub: u = lnx, du = 1/x*dx, we get the integral from 0 to infinity of -1/u*cos(u) and -i/u*sin(u). The imaginary part is -pi/2, but the real part diverges. However, evidently the Gamma function integral does not converge absolutely for Re(z)

    • @rarebeeph1783
      @rarebeeph1783 Před 2 lety +2

      Plugging (i-1)! into Wolfram Alpha, we get that Gamma(i) is approximately -0.155 + 0.498i. So unfortunately, either something has gone wrong in your calculation, or we're dealing with a multivalued function for which your calculation gives a different branch.

    Ok there is a simple formula for F(D)e^(ax) where D = d/dx operator of course ( *The D-Op Theorem* in fact used a lot in solving differential equations )so before I state the relevance here, I give quick simple example of the power of this theorem:
    Eg, solve y' ' -5y' +6y =e^(4x)
    then [D^2 -5D +6D]y = e^(4x)
    soln y = [1/(D-2)(D-3)] e^(4x) = F(D)e^(4x) where a = 4
    y = [1/(4-2)(4-3)] e^(4x) = (1/2)e^(4x) the particular integral
    complete solution need to add homogeneous [D^2 -5D +6D]y_h = 0 the traditional method with y_h = Ae^(2x)+Be^(3x) of course.
    Now that out the way we need D^(i)x = D^(i)e^(lnx) = D^(i) e^(u) using u = ln x, unfortunately we need to redefine D for new variable u
    which I believe is D_x = {(u-1)e^(u)}D_u (this part I used d/dx = (d/du)(du/dx) chain rule = (xlnx - x)d/du but not 100% certain here)
    so D_x^(i) = (d/dx)^(i) x = {(u-1)e^(u)}^(i)}D_u^(i) e^(u)
    = {(u-1)e^(u)}^(i)}^(i)1^(i)
    = i(x)^(i+1)ln(x/e)
    which if correct should be equivalent to Dr Peyam's derivation.
    But who am i definitely not Pimi thats for sure.

    Was hoping to find a way to find the integral by taking two imaginary derivatives... and of course it's complex. And would be the 2i'th not the i^2'th derivative.

    Could you do all of this using the difference formula? It just seems like you can calculate any derivative of X using the difference formula so 1, 2, and 3 order are simply just re-applying the difference formala multiple times to X^5. So I ask, could you apply the difference formula half a time or i times to something? It has to be a natural number or something.

    Gamma[z] when z=i --> Re(i)=0.

    So how would this work for non-power functions, e.g. f(x)=ln(x)? One guess I have is, that you could use the Tailor expansion of f(x) and then get the i-th derivative for all terms. Not sure this would work though.

    Beautiful, thank you for your work!
    One small nitpick about Gamma: I've read, in a great book by the great author and expositor H. M. Eswards "Riemann's Zeta Function", that the whole Gamma(x) = (x-1)! (i.e. that *shift by 1* ) was a blunder by the great Legendre. Gauss used Pi(x) which is *not* shifted by 1. So for obscure reasons we keep needlessly adding "+1" or "-1" to our formulas :-) Same with Pi that sould have been 2Pi btw.

    I think this is what they call Umbral techniques. shady dark techniques that can still give some insight.
    This is what i tinkered with years ago... arriving at exactly this.
    I saw the complex order as just being "rotations".
    So, i apply it to X^p in general.... something strange happens when p=integer..... VS non-integer powers.
    what i call a "Derivative spectrum", just collapses to Zero.
    But non-integer: the Derivatives go on & on to lower and lower degrees.
    -- Integrals become VERY ugly. I had an odd hunch...... that the subtle reason why integrals are such beasts... has to do with the poles Gamma has on the negative side, while it's a nice curve on the right.
    it's beyond my why. But i had another hunch that i could test whether any function's integral is non-elementary.....
    i applied fractional derivatives to X^X. couldn't get far with that ;0

    Very nice, but I wonder where you would find a complex derivative? I always think of j as being a rotation operator (sorry i'm an engineer). So "rate of rotation" in a complex (Hilbert) space ?? Doesn't this come up in quantum mechanics ?? Forgive my guess work I'm only a humble electrical engineer, but I sometimes worship at the church of mathematics.

  • @VerSalieri

    So, derivative degrades the function by a power of 1(x^n becomes x^n-1], half derivative degrades it by a power of half (x becomes square root of x), and now imaginary derivative comes up with ln(x) (which is far more degradation than square root of x)... no idea what to do with this one, I’ll just step back and admire it from afar.
