Symmetric expression of boundary term in integration by part

Suppose $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ be a smooth domain. $f,g\in C^\infty(\Omega)$. We consider the integration by part here: $$\begin{aligned} \int_{\Omega}(\partial_1\partial_2f)g&=-\int_{\Omega}(...

On a deceptively tricky calculus problem

Motivation for this question: If the operators $B_i'$ satisfy an inequality, prove that $B_1'+\dots B_n'$ also satisfies the same inequality Let $A$ be a non-constant operator acting on $C^...

Integration of matrix form of Vasicek variance (Python/Matlab)

$X_t$ is a vector and follows the following Vasicek process. $$ dX_t=(mu-K\cdot X_t)dt+Sigma_x\cdot dZ_t \\ $$ What is the variance of $X_t$? In scalar form the answer is $\frac{Sigma_x^2}{2\cdot K}\...
