from sympy.functions import SingularityFunction, DiracDelta from sympy.core import sympify from sympy.integrals import integrate def singularityintegrate(f, x): """ This function handles the indefinite integrations of Singularity functions. The ``integrate`` function calls this function internally whenever an instance of SingularityFunction is passed as argument. Explanation =========== The idea for integration is the following: - If we are dealing with a SingularityFunction expression, i.e. ``SingularityFunction(x, a, n)``, we just return ``SingularityFunction(x, a, n + 1)/(n + 1)`` if ``n >= 0`` and ``SingularityFunction(x, a, n + 1)`` if ``n < 0``. - If the node is a multiplication or power node having a SingularityFunction term we rewrite the whole expression in terms of Heaviside and DiracDelta and then integrate the output. Lastly, we rewrite the output of integration back in terms of SingularityFunction. - If none of the above case arises, we return None.
