2d polar integration

The 2d polar integral of a scalar function $f(r, \theta)$ is defined as:

$$ I(r_{max}) = \int_0^{r_{max}} \int_0^{2\pi} f(r, \theta) r d\theta $$

Write a function integrate_polar(f, rmax) that performs this integral numerically using scipy.integrate.dblquad.


In [127]:
def integrate_polar(f, rmax):
    """Integrate the function f(r, theta) over r=[0,rmax], theta=[0,2*np.pi]"""
    f1 = lambda r,t: f(r,t)*r
    tmin = 0.0
    tmax = 2*np.pi
    rmin = lambda c:0
    rmaxx = lambda c:rmax
    return integrate.dblquad(f1,tmin, tmax, rmin, rmaxx)[0]

In [128]:
assert np.allclose(integrate_polar(lambda r,t: 1.0, 1.0), np.pi)
assert np.allclose(integrate_polar(lambda r, t: np.exp(-r)*(np.cos(t)**2), np.inf), np.pi)

In [126]:
integrate_polar(lambda r,t: 1.0, 1.0)[0]
