===Second mean value theorem for definite integrals=== There are various slightly different theorems called the '''second mean value theorem for definite integrals'''. A commonly found version is as follows: :If <math>G : [a,b]\to \mathbb{R}</math> is a positive [[monotone function|monotonically decreasing]] function and <math>\varphi : [a,b]\to \mathbb{R}</math> is an integrable function, then there exists a number ''x'' in (''a'', ''b''] such that ::<math> \int_a^b G(t)\varphi(t)\,dt = G(a^+) \int_a^x \varphi(t)\,dt. </math> Here <math>G(a^+)</math> stands for <math display="inline">{\lim_{x\to a^+}G(x)}</math>, the existence of which follows from the conditions. Note that it is essential that the interval (''a'', ''b''] contains ''b''. A variant not having this requirement is:<ref>{{cite journal |first=E. W. |last=Hobson |year=1909 |title=On the Second Mean-Value Theorem of the Integral Calculus |journal=[[Proceedings London Mathematical Society|Proc. London Math. Soc.]] |volume=S2β7 |issue=1 |pages=14β23 |mr=1575669 |doi=10.1112/plms/s2-7.1.14 |bibcode=1909PLMS...27...14H |url=https://zenodo.org/record/1447800 }}</ref> :If <math>G : [a,b]\to \mathbb{R}</math> is a [[monotone function|monotonic]] (not necessarily decreasing and positive) function and <math>\varphi : [a,b]\to \mathbb{R}</math> is an integrable function, then there exists a number ''x'' in (''a'', ''b'') such that ::<math> \int_a^b G(t)\varphi(t)\,dt = G(a^+) \int_a^x \varphi(t)\,dt + G(b^-) \int_x^b \varphi(t)\,dt. </math> If the function <math>G</math> returns a multi-dimensional vector, then the MVT for integration is not true, even if the domain of <math>G</math> is also multi-dimensional. For example, consider the following 2-dimensional function defined on an <math>n</math>-dimensional cube: :<math>\begin{cases} G: [0,2\pi]^n \to \R^2 \\ G(x_1, \dots, x_n) = \left(\sin(x_1 + \cdots + x_n), \cos(x_1 + \cdots + x_n) \right) \end{cases} </math> Then, by symmetry it is easy to see that the mean value of <math>G</math> over its domain is (0,0): :<math>\int_{[0,2\pi]^n} G(x_1,\dots,x_n) dx_1 \cdots dx_n = (0,0)</math> However, there is no point in which <math>G=(0,0)</math>, because <math>|G|=1</math> everywhere.
