How to evaluate $int_S(x^4+y^4+z^4) , dS$ over surface of the unit sphere.

$begingroup$



Question. Let $S$ denote the unit sphere in $mathbb{R}^3$. Evaluate: $$int_S (x^4+y^4+z^4) , dS$$




My Solution. First I parametrize $S$ by $$r(u,v)=(cos v cos u, cos v sin u, sin v)$$ $0le u le 2 pi;~-frac{pi}{2}le v le frac{pi}{2}$



Let $~f(x,y,z)=x^4+y^4+z^4$. Here $~|frac{partial r}{partial u} times frac{partial r}{partial v}|=|cos v|$



Then $displaystyle int_S(x^4+y^4+z^4),dS = int_{-pi/2}^{pi/2} int_0^{2pi} f[r(u,v)] left|frac{partial r}{partial u} times frac{partial r}{partial v}right|~du~dv$



Thus I try to calculate this integral directly using the definition of surface integral.



But I had so much calculations in this way. Does this particular problem can be solved using any theorems e.g-Gauss' Divergence (By writing $f$ as $Fcdot n$ for some vector field $F$?
Thank you.

I shall denote by $text{d}Sigma$ the surface area element. In the polar form $$(x,y,z)=big(rcos(phi)sin(theta),rsin(phi)cos(theta),rcos(theta)big),,$$ I would only compute the integral $$int_{partial B_1(boldsymbol{0})},z^4,text{d}Sigma=int_0^{2pi},int_0^pi,cos^4(theta),sin(theta),text{d}theta,text{d}phi=2pi,int_{-1}^{+1},t^4,text{d}t=frac{4pi}{5},,$$ where $t:=cos(theta)$, and then multiply that by $3$ to get the final answer. Due to symmetry, this is justified.

    Let $~f(x,y,z)=x^4+y^4+z^4$



    The unit outward drawn normal to $S$ is $n=(x,y,z)$. Taking $F=(x^3,y^3,z^3)$ we have $f=F.n$. Hence the given integral:



    $int_{S}f(x,y,z)dS=int_{S}F.n~dS=int_{V}div F~dV =3int_{0}^{1}int_{-pi/2}^{-pi/2}int_{0}^{2pi}r^2|cos v|~dr~du~dv=frac{12pi}{5}.$

      Direct calculation (unit sphere). $x^4+y^4+z^4=(x^2+y^2+z^2)^2-2(x^2y^2+x^2z^2+y^2z^2)=(1-2h)$



      where $h=cos^4vcos^2usin^2u+cos^2vsin^2v=h_1+h_2$. The surface integral is $S=int_0^{2pi}int_{frac{-pi}{2}}^{frac{pi}{2}}(1-2h)cosvdvdu$. These can be calculated directly.
      $int_0^{2pi}int_{frac{-pi}{2}}^{frac{pi}{2}}cosvdvdu=4pi$. Let
      $I_1=int_0^{2pi}int_{frac{-pi}{2}}^{frac{pi}{2}}cos^5vdvcos^2usin^2udu$. Let $I_2=int_0^{2pi}int_{frac{-pi}{2}}^{frac{pi}{2}}sin^2vcos^3vdv$. At this point note that $I_1=frac{I_2}{2}$. $I_2$ is easier to calculate, so we don't need to calculate $I_1$. $I_2=int_0^{2pi}int_{frac{-pi}{2}}^{frac{pi}{2}}(sin^2v-sin^4v)cosvdv=frac{8pi}{15}$. Therefore $S=frac{12pi}{5}$.

                        Direct calculation (unit sphere). $x^4+y^4+z^4=(x^2+y^2+z^2)^2-2(x^2y^2+x^2z^2+y^2z^2)=(1-2h)$



                        where $h=cos^4vcos^2usin^2u+cos^2vsin^2v=h_1+h_2$. The surface integral is $S=int_0^{2pi}int_{frac{-pi}{2}}^{frac{pi}{2}}(1-2h)cosvdvdu$. These can be calculated directly.
                        $int_0^{2pi}int_{frac{-pi}{2}}^{frac{pi}{2}}cosvdvdu=4pi$. Let
                        $I_1=int_0^{2pi}int_{frac{-pi}{2}}^{frac{pi}{2}}cos^5vdvcos^2usin^2udu$. Let $I_2=int_0^{2pi}int_{frac{-pi}{2}}^{frac{pi}{2}}sin^2vcos^3vdv$. At this point note that $I_1=frac{I_2}{2}$. $I_2$ is easier to calculate, so we don't need to calculate $I_1$. $I_2=int_0^{2pi}int_{frac{-pi}{2}}^{frac{pi}{2}}(sin^2v-sin^4v)cosvdv=frac{8pi}{15}$. Therefore $S=frac{12pi}{5}$.
