积分运算过程：
令 tan θ = 2 ∣ a ∣ u \tan\theta=2|a|u tanθ=2∣a∣u.则 1 + 4 a 2 u 2 = sec θ \sqrt1+4a^2u^2=\sec\theta 1+4a2u2=secθ.从而 , ∫ 1 + 4 a 2 u 2 d u = 1 2 ∣ a ∣ ∫ sec 3 θ d θ . ,\int\sqrt{1+4a^2u^2}du=\frac1{2|a|}\int\sec^3\theta d\theta. ,∫1+4a2u2du=2∣a∣1∫sec3θdθ.
I : = ∫ sec 3 θ d θ = ∫ ( sec θ tan 2 θ + sec θ ) d θ = ∫ tan θ d ( sec θ ) + sec θ d θ = tan θ sec θ − ∫ sec 3 θ d θ + ∫ sec θ d θ = tan θ sec θ − I + log ∣ sec θ + tan θ ∣ = 1 2 ( tan θ sec θ + log ∣ sec θ + tan θ ∣ ) + C = 1 2 ( 2 ∣ a ∣ u 1 + 4 a 2 u 2 + log ∣ 2 ∣ a ∣ u + 1 + 4 a 2 u 2 ∣ ) + C . \begin{aligned} I:=\int\sec^3\theta d\theta &=\int(\sec\theta\tan^2\theta+\sec\theta)d\theta\\ &=\int\tan\theta d(\sec\theta)+\sec\theta d\theta \\ &=\tan\theta\sec\theta-\int\sec^3\theta d\theta+\int\sec\theta d\theta \\ &=\tan\theta\sec\theta-I+\log|\sec\theta+\tan\theta|\\ &=\frac12(\tan\theta\sec\theta+\log|\sec\theta+\tan\theta|)+C \\ &=\frac12(2|a|u\sqrt{1+4a^2u^2}+\log|2|a|u+\sqrt{1+4a^2u^2}|)+C.\\\end{aligned} I:=∫sec3θdθ=∫(secθtan2θ+secθ)dθ=∫tanθd(secθ)+secθdθ=tanθsecθ−∫sec3θdθ+∫secθdθ=tanθsecθ−I+log∣secθ+tanθ∣=21(tanθsecθ+log∣secθ+tanθ∣)+C=21(2∣a∣u1+4a2u2+log∣2∣a∣u+1+4a2u2∣)+C.
则有 ∫ 1 + 4 a 2 u 2 d u = 1 2 u 1 + 4 a 2 u 2 + 1 4 ∣ a ∣ log ∣ 2 ∣ a ∣ u + 1 + 4 a 2 u 2 ∣ + C . \\\int\sqrt{1+4a^2u^2}du=\frac12u\sqrt{1+4a^2u^2}+\frac1{4|a|}\log|2|a|u+\sqrt{1+4a^2u^2}|+C. ∫1+4a2u2du=21u1+4a2u2+4∣a∣1log∣2∣a∣u+1+4a2u2∣+C.

曲率
κ ( t ) = x ′ ( t ) y ′ ′ ( t ) − x ′ ′ ( t ) y ′ ( t ) ( x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 ) 3 2 = cosh t a a ( 1 + sinh 2 t a ) 3 2 . \kappa(t)=\frac{x'(t)y''(t)-x''(t)y'(t)}{(x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2)^{\frac32}}=\frac{\cosh\frac ta}{a(1+\sinh^2\frac ta)^{\frac32}}. κ(t)=(x′(t)2+y′(t)2)23x′(t)y′′(t)−x′′(t)y′(t)=a(1+sinh2at)23coshat.
T5
设曲线 r ( t ) = ( x ( t ) , y ( t ) ) \mathbf{r}(t)=(x(t),y(t)) r(t)=(x(t),y(t)),证明它的曲率是
κ ( t ) = x ′ ( t ) y ′ ′ ( t ) − x ′ ′ ( t ) y ′ ( t ) ( x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 ) 3 2 . \kappa(t)=\frac{x'(t)y''(t)-x''(t)y'(t)}{(x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2)^{\frac32}}. κ(t)=(x′(t)2+y′(t)2)23x′(t)y′′(t)−x′′(t)y′(t).
证明：首先，
r ′ ( t ) = ( x ′ ( t ) , y ′ ( t ) ) , r ′ ′ ( t ) = ( x ′ ′ ( t ) , y ′ ′ ( t ) ) . \mathbf{r}'(t)=(x'(t),y'(t)),\quad\mathbf{r}''(t)=(x''(t),y''(t)). r′(t)=(x′(t),y′(t)),r′′(t)=(x′′(t),y′′(t)).
设 s s s是曲线 r ( t ) (t) (t)的弧长参数.则 s = s ( t ) s=s(t) s=s(t)与 t = t ( s ) t=t(s) t=t(s)互为反函数.

d 2 t d s 2 = d d t ( d t d s ) d t d s = − x ′ ( t ) x ′ ′ ( t ) + y ′ ( t ) y ′ ′ ( t ) ( x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 ) 2 . \frac{d^2t}{ds^2}=\frac d{dt}(\frac{dt}{ds})\frac{dt}{ds}=-\frac{x'(t)x''(t)+y'(t)y''(t)}{(x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2)^2}. ds2d2t=dtd(dsdt)dsdt=−(x′(t)2+y′(t)2)2x′(t)x′′(t)+y′(t)y′′(t).
由于平面曲线的 Frenet 标架和曲率与(同向的容许)参数选择无关，故
t ( t ) : = t ( s ( t ) ) = d r ( t ) d t d t d s = ( x ′ ( t ) x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 , y ′ ( t ) x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 ) . \mathbf{t}(t):=\mathbf{t}(s(t))=\frac{d\mathbf{r}(t)}{dt}\frac{dt}{ds}=(\frac{x'(t)}{\sqrt{x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2}},\frac{y'(t)}{\sqrt{x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2}}). t(t):=t(s(t))=dtdr(t)dsdt=(x′(t)2+y′(t)2x′(t),x′(t)2+y′(t)2y′(t)).
从而，
t ˙ ( s ( t ) ) = r ′ ′ ( t ) ( d t d s ) 2 + r ′ ( t ) d 2 t d s 2 = ( − y ′ ( t ) ( x ′ ( t ) y ′ ′ ( t ) − x ′ ′ ( t ) y ′ ( t ) ) ( x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 ) 2 , x ′ ( t ) ( x ′ ( t ) y ′ ′ ( t ) − x ′ ′ ( t ) y ′ ( t ) ) ( x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 ) 2 ) n ( t ) : = n ( s ( t ) ) = ( − y ′ ( t ) x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 , x ′ ( t ) x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 ) . \dot{\mathbf{t}}(s(t))=\mathbf{r}''(t)(\frac{dt}{ds})^2+\mathbf{r}'(t)\frac{d^2t}{ds^2}=(-\frac{y'(t)(x'(t)y''(t)-x''(t)y'(t))}{(x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2)^2},\frac{x'(t)(x'(t)y''(t)-x''(t)y'(t))}{(x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2)^2})\\\mathbf{n}(t):=\mathbf{n}(s(t))=(-\frac{y'(t)}{\sqrt{x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2}},\frac{x'(t)}{\sqrt{x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2}}). t˙(s(t))=r′′(t)(dsdt)2+r′(t)ds2d2t=(−(x′(t)2+y′(t)2)2y′(t)(x′(t)y′′(t)−x′′(t)y′(t)),(x′(t)2+y′(t)2)2x′(t)(x′(t)y′′(t)−x′′(t)y′(t)))n(t):=n(s(t))=(−x′(t)2+y′(t)2y′(t),x′(t)2+y′(t)2x′(t)).
所以，
κ ( t ) = κ ( s ( t ) ) = ⟨ t ˙ ( s ( t ) ) , n ( s ( t ) ) ⟩ = x ′ ( t ) y ′ ′ ( t ) − x ′ ′ ( t ) y ′ ( t ) ( x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 ) 3 2 . \kappa(t)=\kappa(s(t))=\langle\dot{\mathbf{t}}(s(t)),\mathbf{n}(s(t))\rangle=\frac{x'(t)y''(t)-x''(t)y'(t)}{(x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2)^{\frac32}}. κ(t)=κ(s(t))=⟨t˙(s(t)),n(s(t))⟩=(x′(t)2+y′(t)2)23x′(t)y′′(t)−x′′(t)y′(t).
t ( t ) = r ′ ( t ) ∣ r ′ ( t ) ∣ = ( x ′ ( t ) x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 , y ′ ( t ) x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 ) , \mathbf{t}(t)=\frac{\mathbf{r}'(t)}{|\mathbf{r}'(t)|}=(\frac{x'(t)}{\sqrt{x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2}},\frac{y'(t)}{\sqrt{x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2}}), t(t)=∣r′(t)∣r′(t)=(x′(t)2+y′(t)2x′(t),x′(t)2+y′(t)2y′(t)),
n ( t ) = = r ′ ′ ( t ) ∣ r ′ ′ ( t ) ∣ = ( − y ′ ( t ) x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 , x ′ ( t ) x ′ ( t ) 2 + y ′ ( t ) 2 ) . \mathbf{n}(t)==\frac{\mathbf{r}''(t)}{|\mathbf{r}''(t)|}=(-\frac{y'(t)}{\sqrt{x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2}},\frac{x'(t)}{\sqrt{x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2}}). n(t)==∣r′′(t)∣r′′(t)=(−x′(t)2+y′(t)2y′(t),x′(t)2+y′(t)2x′(t)).

设曲线 C C C在极坐标 ( r , θ ) (r,\theta) (r,θ)下的表示为 r = f ( θ ) r=f(\theta) r=f(θ),证明 C C C的曲率是
κ ( θ ) = f 2 ( θ ) + 2 ( d f d θ ) 2 − f ( θ ) d 2 f d θ 2 ( f 2 ( θ ) + ( d f d θ ) 2 ) 3 2 \kappa(\theta)=\frac{f^2(\theta)+2(\frac{df}{d\theta})^2-f(\theta)\frac{d^2f}{d\theta^2}}{(f^2(\theta)+(\frac{df}{d\theta})^2)^{\frac32}} κ(θ)=(f2(θ)+(dθdf)2)23f2(θ)+2(dθdf)2−f(θ)dθ2d2f

r ′ ( θ ) = ( f ′ ( θ ) cos θ − f ( θ ) sin θ , f ′ ( θ ) sin θ + f ( θ ) cos θ \mathbf{r}'(\theta)=(f'(\theta)\cos\theta-f(\theta)\sin\theta,f'(\theta)\sin\theta+f(\theta)\cos\theta r′(θ)=(f′(θ)cosθ−f(θ)sinθ,f′(θ)sinθ+f(θ)cosθ
r ′ ′ ( θ ) = ( f ′ ′ ( θ ) cos θ − 2 f ′ ( θ ) sin θ − f ( θ ) cos θ , f ′ ′ ( θ ) sin θ + 2 f ′ ( θ ) cos θ − f ( θ ) sin θ ) . \mathbf{r}^{\prime\prime}(\theta)=(f^{\prime\prime}(\theta)\cos\theta-2f^{\prime}(\theta)\sin\theta-f(\theta)\cos\theta,f^{\prime\prime}(\theta)\sin\theta+2f^{\prime}(\theta)\cos\theta-f(\theta)\sin\theta). r′′(θ)=(f′′(θ)cosθ−2f′(θ)sinθ−f(θ)cosθ,f′′(θ)sinθ+2f′(θ)cosθ−f(θ)sinθ).
从而
κ ( θ ) = x ′ ( θ ) y ′ ′ ( θ ) − x ′ ′ ( θ ) y ′ ( θ ) ( x ′ ( θ ) 2 + y ′ ( θ ) 2 ) 3 2 = f 2 ( θ ) + 2 f ′ ( θ ) 2 − f ( θ ) f ′ ′ ( θ ) ( f 2 ( θ ) + ( f ′ ( θ ) ) 2 ) 3 2 . \kappa(\theta)=\frac{x'(\theta)y''(\theta)-x''(\theta)y'(\theta)}{(x'(\theta)^2+y'(\theta)^2)^{\frac32}}=\frac{f^2(\theta)+2f'(\theta)^2-f(\theta)f''(\theta)}{(f^2(\theta)+(f'(\theta))^2)^{\frac32}}. κ(θ)=(x′(θ)2+y′(θ)2)23x′(θ)y′′(θ)−x′′(θ)y′(θ)=(f2(θ)+(f′(θ))2)23f2(θ)+2f′(θ)2−f(θ)f′′(θ).
