刘维尔公式（Liouville's Formula）是一个关于多重积分和欧拉积分（\Gamma函数）的公式，其形式如下：
:\int ...\iint_{x_{1},x_{2},...,x_{n}\geqslant0;x_{1}+x_{2}+...+x_{n}\leqslant1}f\left(x_{1}+x_{2}+...+x_{n}\right)x_{1}^{p_{1}-1}x_{2}^{p_{2}-1}...x_{n}^{p_{n}-1}\mathrm{d}x_{1}\mathrm{d}x_{2}...\mathrm{d}x_{n}
=\frac{\Gamma\left(p_{1}\right)\Gamma\left(p_{2}\right)...\Gamma\left(p_{n}\right)}{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n}\right)}\int_{0}^{1}f\left(u\right)u^{p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n}-1}\mathrm{d}u
其中p_{1},p_{2},...,p_{n}>0，f\left(u\right)为连续函数。
证明
用数学归纳法。
当n=1时，公式显然成立。
当n=2时，公式也成立，即
:\iint_{x_{1},x_{2}\geqslant0;x_{1}+x_{2}\leqslant1}f\left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right)x_{1}^{p_{1}-1}x_{2}^{p_{2}-1}\mathrm{d}x_{1}\mathrm{d}x_{2}=\frac{\Gamma\left(p_{1}\right)\Gamma\left(p_{2}\right)}{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}\right)}\int_{0}^{1}f\left(u\right)u^{p_{1}+p_{2}-1}\mathrm{d}u
事实上，令\Omega表示区域：x_{1}\geqslant0,x_{2}\geqslant0,x_{1}+x_{2}\leqslant1，作代换x_{1}=\xi_{1},x_{1}+x_{2}=\xi_{2}，以及t=\frac{\xi_{1}}{\xi_{2}}，则有
:\iint_{x_{1},x_{2}\geqslant0;x_{1}+x_{2}\leqslant1}f\left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right)x_{1}^{p_{1}-1}x_{2}^{p_{2}-1}\mathrm{d}x_{1}\mathrm{d}x_{2}=\int_{0}^{1}f\left(\xi_{2}\right)\mathrm{d}\xi_{2}\int_{0}^{\xi_{2}}\xi_{1}^{p_{1}-1}\left(\xi_{2}-\xi{1}\right)^{p_{2}-1}\mathrm{d}\xi_{1}
:\int_{0}^{1}f\left(\xi_{2}\right)\mathrm{d}\xi_{2}\int_{0}^{1}t^{p_{1}-1}\left(1-t\right)^{p_{2}-1}\xi_{2}^{p_{1}+p_{2}-1}\mathrm{d}t=\frac{\Gamma\left(p_{1}\right)\Gamma\left(p_{2}\right)}{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}\right)}\int_{0}^{1}f\left(\xi_{2}\right)\xi_{2}^{p_{1}+p_{2}-1}\mathrm{d}\xi_{2}=\frac{\Gamma\left(p_{1}\right)\Gamma\left(p_{2}\right)}{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}\right)}\int_{0}^{1}f\left(u\right)u^{p_{1}+p_{2}-1}\mathrm{d}u
设公式对于n-1成立，今证对于n公式也成立。为此，将公式左端写为
:\int ...\iint_{x_{1},x_{2},...,x_{n-1}\geqslant0;x_{1}+x_{2}+...+x_{n-1}\leqslant1}x_{1}^{p_{1}-1}x_{2}^{p_{2}-1}...x_{n-1}^{p_{n-1}-1}\mathrm{d}x_{1}\mathrm{d}x_{2}...\mathrm{d}x_{n-1}\int_{0}^{1-\left(x_{1}+x_{2}+...+x_{n-1}\right)}f\left(x_{1}+x_{2}+...+x_{n}\right)x_{n}^{p_{n}-1}\mathrm{d}x_{n}
令\psi\left(s\right)=\int_{0}^{1-s}f\left(s+x_{n}\right)x_{n}^{p_{n}-1}\mathrm{d}x_{n}
代入上式，并利用公式对-1成立的假定，得知上式为
:\frac{\Gamma\left(p_{1}\right)\Gamma\left(p_{2}\right)...\Gamma\left(p_{n-1}\right)}{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n-1}\right)}\int_{0}^{1}\psi\left(s\right)s^{p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n-1}-1}\mathrm{d}s
利用上面已证的=2时的公式，于是即得
:\int ...\iint_{x_{1},x_{2},...,x_{n}\geqslant0;x_{1}+x_{2}+...+x_{n}\leqslant1}f\left(x_{1}+x_{2}+...+x_{n}\right)x_{1}^{p_{1}-1}x_{2}^{p_{2}-1}...x_{n}^{p_{n}-1}\mathrm{d}x_{1}\mathrm{d}x_{2}...\mathrm{d}x_{n}
=\frac{\Gamma\left(p_{1}\right)\Gamma\left(p_{2}\right)...\Gamma\left(p_{n-1}\right)}{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n-1}\right)}\int_{0}^{1}\mathrm{d}s\int_{0}^{1-s}f\left(s+x_{n}\right)s^{p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n-1}-1}x_{n}^{p_{n}-1}\mathrm{d}x_{n}
=\frac{\Gamma\left(p_{1}\right)\Gamma\left(p_{2}\right)...\Gamma\left(p_{n-1}\right)}{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n-1}\right)}\iint_{s,x_{n}\geqslant0;s+x_{n}\leqslant1}f\left(s+x_{n}\right)s^{p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n-1}-1}x_{n}^{p_{n}-1}\mathrm{d}x_{n}
=\frac{\Gamma\left(p_{1}\right)\Gamma\left(p_{2}\right)...\Gamma\left(p_{n-1}\right)}{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n-1}\right)}\cdot\frac{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n-1}\right)\Gamma\left(p_{n}\right)}{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n}\right)}\int_{0}^{1}f\left(u\right)u^{p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n}-1}\mathrm{d}u
=\frac{\Gamma\left(p_{1}\right)\Gamma\left(p_{2}\right)...\Gamma\left(p_{n}\right)}{\Gamma\left(p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n}\right)}\int_{0}^{1}f\left(u\right)u^{p_{1}+p_{2}+...+p_{n}-1}\mathrm{d}u
证明完毕。
