Say I have some polynomial $p(x)$ and want to express its $n$th integral, is there a closed form for this?

    It doesn't have a unique $n^{th}$ integral; this is only well-defined up to a polynomial of degree $n-1$.2011-09-11

    I don't see your point. Take for instance $p(x) = x$, so its degree is 1. We have the 2nd integral as $\frac{x^{2}}{6}$ however.. edit: that is, plus a constant2011-09-11

    The $n^{\rm th}$ integral of $x^r$ is $$ \frac{r!}{(r+n)!} x^{r+n} \ \ (+ \ \text{arbitrary poly of degree } n-1). $$ You can then use linearity to add the integrals of individual terms.2011-09-11

    On the other hand, $$\underbrace{\int_0^x\int_0^{t_{n-1}}\cdots\int_0^{t_1}}_{n} t^k\;\mathrm dt\cdots\mathrm dt_{n-2}\mathrm dt_{n-1}=\frac1{(n-1)!}\int_0^x t^k (x-t)^{n-1}\mathrm dt=\frac{k!}{(n+k)!}x^{n+k}$$2011-09-11

    Oh, now I see. I forgot to integrate the constant along with it2011-09-11

    @Pedro You can answer your own question.2013-03-16

Noticing that for $d\leqslant p$, we have that the $d$-th derivative of $x^p$ is $$x^{p-d}\frac{p!}{(p-d)!},$$ we get what Srivatsan wrote in his comment, that is, the $n$-th integral of $x^r$ is $\frac{r!}{(r+n)!}x^{r+n}$ (take $p-d=r$ and $d=n$) up to a polynomial of degree $\leqslant n-1$ (as at each integration, we need to integrate the constant of the previous one). Then the result follows by linearity.

    Or just take $d$ to be negative. Remember that negative iteration of a function or operator is iteration of the inverse, so differentiating a negative number of times is equivalent to integrating a positive number of times.2014-09-14
