Having problems with this triple integral
Show older comments

I'm trying to solve this problem. Here's my code:
%44
fun = @(x,y,z) 1./(x.^2 + y.^2);
xmin = -1;
xmax = 1;
ymin = 0;
ymax = @(x) sqrt(1-x.^2);
zmin = 0;
zmax = @(x,y) y;
q= integral3(fun,xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax)
and this runs into and error saying that it reached the maximum number of function evalutions and failed the global error test. Can anyone tell me what did I do wrong?

Are you missing a semicolon on the final line?

The exercise ask for the evaluation using cylindrical coordinates and you're not using cylindrical coordinates in your code. Also, note that the origin belongs to Omega but the function 1/(x^2+y^2) is undefined in that point (i.e. you've got an improper integral right there)
Also, notice that your code works fine (although without cylindrical coordinates) changing "ymin=0" with "ymin=0.1", or "ymin=0.01", or "ymin=0.001", or "ymin=0.0001", ...
What do you think about the limit when "y" tends to cero?
