Conditions of change of variables for multiple integrals

430 Views Asked by At

As the conditions for transformation of multiple integrals, many textbooks state two separate conditions (along with other conditions): (1) the transformation is 1-1 (2) The Jacobian does not vanish

For example, Courant and John in "Introduction to Calculus and Analysis" state:

If the transformation $x=\phi(u,v), y=\psi(u,v)$ represents a continuous 1-1 mapping of the closed Jordan-measurable region $R$ of the $x,y$-plane on a region $R'$ of the $u,v$-plane, and if the functions $\phi$ and $\psi$ have continuous first derivatives and their Jacobian $$\frac{d(x,y)}{d(u,v)}=\phi_u \psi_v-\psi_u\phi_v$$ is everywhere different from zero, then $$ \iint_R f(x,y)dxdy=\iint_R f(\phi(u,v),\psi(u,v))\left|\frac{d(x,y)}{d(u,v)}\right|du dv > $$

or Zill and Wright in "Advanced Engineering Mathematics":

  • The functions f and g have continuous first partial derivatives on S.

  • The transformation is one-to-one.

  • Each of the regions R and S consists of a piecewise-smooth simple closed curve and its iterior

  • The determinant $$ \begin{vmatrix} \dfrac{\partial x}{\partial u} & \dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v}\\ \dfrac{\partial y}{\partial u} & \dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v} \end{vmatrix} $$ is not zero on $S$.

If the transformation is $C^1$, doesn't "$J\neq 0$ within the interior of the preimage region" imply that the transformation is 1-1? or doesn't being 1-1 imply that $J\neq 0$?

Why are they stating these as two separate conditions?


PS: Bartle in "Elements of Real Analysis" states the theorem as follows:

Suppose $\phi$ is in Class $C'$ on an open subset $G$ of $\mathbb{R}^p$ with values in $\mathbb{R}^p$ and that the Jacobian $J_\phi$ does not vanish on $G$. If $D$ is a compact subset of $G$ which has content and if $f$ is continuous on $\phi(D)$ to $R$, then $\phi(D)$ has content and $$\int_{\phi(D)} f=\int_D (f\circ\phi)|J_\phi|.$$

As we can see here Bartle does not talk about the fact that $\phi$ is a one-to-one onto mapping.
