"Multigral Calculus"
 
   Hi Everyone!

Has anybody wondered if you could have an infinit'simal calculus based on the limit of PRODUCTS rather than series?
I've been playing with such for the last 2 or so years and want others to look at and/or comment on. I call any such calculus (actually there are several) MULTIGRAL CALCULUS. I've knocked up a website (www.geocities.com/multigrals2000) where I outline some multigrals. Please visit, download some articles, sign the guestbook - okay?

The "simplest" multigral is the 'limit of the product of f(x) to the POWER of delta x as delta x tends to zero'. For suitable f(x) it equals e^(the integral of ln(f(x))dx). Such have a interesting role in estimating long-term modes of stochastic recursive equations like P --> (1+b-d)*P where b and d are the stochastic birth and death rate respectively. Please see the above website and tell me what you think. Also see https://math2.org/math/paper/sect1-2.htm for similar.

   This is known as a "product integral".

   Thanks Polytope

for some good links on "product integrals" see:
1. www.math.uu.nl/people/gill/Preprints/prod_int_0.pdf
2. www.tylerneylon.com

Sadly on-line "encyclopeidas" like Wikipedia, www.efunda, www.mathworld don't seem to have entries on "product integrals". Also in the links I've seen there has been NO mention of the link between LONG-TERM MEDIANS and MODES of stochastic recursive equations of the form P-->k*P (with k stochastic)and multigrals/product integrals. Nor mention of "dx-less integrals" (ie: standard integrals minus the terminal dx - yes they exist, for instance the integral of (1+ln(t)) without the dx from 0 to 1 is ln(sqr(2)) whereas the integral WITH dx = 0). See updated version of www.geocities.com/multigrals2000 for details. And what about "harmonic" integrals and the like?
