\begin{abstract}
This paper introduces \textbf{Generalized Calculus (GC)}, an extended mathematical framework designed to correct deficiencies in traditional integration and differentiation. Conventional calculus, which assumes linearity and infinitesimal continuity, fails in nonlinear, oscillatory, and relativistic systems. Inspired by the force equation:

\begin{equation}
F = \frac{\Omega C^2}{m s}
\end{equation}

where \( \Omega \) (Ohms) represents resistance, \( C \) (Coulombs) represents charge, \( m \) (meters) represents distance, and \( s \) (seconds) represents time, we derive novel \textbf{Quadratic} and \textbf{Weighted} operators for differentiation and integration. Our approach resolves inconsistencies in quantum mechanics, relativistic physics, and electrical engineering, ensuring correct accumulation of physical quantities. We establish a new \textbf{Generalized Fundamental Theorem of Calculus}, provide revised Chain and Taylor expansions, and demonstrate applications in quantum probability, relativity, and AC power.

\section{Introduction}

\subsection{Limitations of Traditional Calculus}

Standard calculus is based on:
\begin{itemize}
    \item \textbf{Integration}: Summing infinitesimal contributions:
    \begin{equation}
    \int f(x) \, dx
    \end{equation}
    \item \textbf{Differentiation}: Computing local slopes:
    \begin{equation}
    \frac{df}{dx} = \lim_{\Delta x \to 0} \frac{f(x + \Delta x) - f(x)}{\Delta x}
    \end{equation}
\end{itemize}

However, these methods assume:
\begin{enumerate}
    \item \textbf{Linearity at infinitesimal scales} (fails in relativity).
    \item \textbf{Symmetric accumulation of positive and negative contributions} (fails in oscillatory systems).
    \item \textbf{Non-adaptive behavior} (fails in dynamic systems).
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Motivation from the Force Equation}

Starting with:
\begin{equation}
F = \frac{\Omega C^2}{m s}
\end{equation}

Squaring both sides:
\begin{equation}
F^2 = \frac{\Omega^2 C^4}{m^2 s^2}
\end{equation}

Rearranging to express \textbf{energy} (\(E\)) in terms of force:
\begin{equation}
E = \int F \, dx = \frac{\Omega^2 C^4}{m^2 s^2} \cdot dx
\end{equation}

This reveals a fundamental issue: \textbf{traditional integration does not capture the true accumulation of squared terms}. We need a \textbf{generalized integration operator} that correctly sums magnitudes in systems governed by squared relationships.

\section{Generalized Calculus Framework}

\subsection{Generalized Integration}

\subsubsection{Quadratic Integral (Q-Integral)}

Standard integration cancels oscillatory terms, e.g.:
\begin{equation}
\int \sin(x) \, dx = -\cos(x) + C
\end{equation}

We define the \textbf{Quadratic Integral} to preserve magnitude:
\begin{equation}
Q\int f(x) \, dx = \int |f(x)| \, dx
\end{equation}

\subsubsection{Weighted Integral (G-Integral)}

To account for dynamic accumulation:
\begin{equation}
G\int f(x) \, dx = \int g(f(x)) f(x) \, dx
\end{equation}
where \( g(f(x)) \) is a weighting function:
\begin{itemize}
    \item \( g(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}} \) (for relativity).
    \item \( g(x) = 1 + |f(x)| \) (for nonlinear systems).
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Generalized Differentiation}

\subsubsection{Quadratic Derivative (Q-Derivative)}

We define the \textbf{Quadratic Derivative}:
\begin{equation}
Q\frac{df}{dx} = \lim_{\Delta x \to 0} \frac{|f(x + \Delta x)| - |f(x)|}{\Delta x}
\end{equation}

\subsubsection{Weighted Derivative (G-Derivative)}

For relativistic and nonlinear systems:
\begin{equation}
G\frac{df}{dx} = g(x) \frac{df}{dx}
\end{equation}

\section{Theorems of Generalized Calculus}

\subsection{Generalized Fundamental Theorem of Calculus}

In standard calculus:
\begin{equation}
\frac{d}{dx} \int_a^x f(t) \, dt = f(x)
\end{equation}

For GC:
\begin{equation}
G\frac{d}{dx} G\int f(x) \, dx = g(f(x)) f(x)
\end{equation}

\subsection{Generalized Chain Rule}

If \( y = f(g(x)) \), then:
\begin{equation}
G\frac{dy}{dx} = G\frac{df}{dg} \cdot G\frac{dg}{dx}
\end{equation}

\subsection{Generalized Taylor Series}

\begin{equation}
f(x) = f(a) + G\frac{df}{dx} (x-a) + \frac{G\frac{d^2f}{dx^2}}{2!} (x-a)^2 + \dots
\end{equation}

\section{Applications in Physics and Engineering}

\subsection{Quantum Mechanics: Fixing Wavefunction Integrals}

Using \( Q\int \):
\begin{equation}
Q\int \psi(x) \, dx = \int |\psi(x)| \, dx
\end{equation}

\subsection{Relativity: Fixing Divergent Acceleration}

Using \( G\frac{d}{dv} \):
\begin{equation}
G\frac{dp}{dv} = \frac{m}{(1 - v^2/c^2)}
\end{equation}

\subsection{Engineering: Correcting AC Power Calculations}

Using \( Q\int \):
\begin{equation}
Q\int IV \, dt = \int |IV| \, dt
\end{equation}

\section{Conclusion and Future Work}

Generalized Calculus (GC) \textbf{corrects fundamental issues} in physics and engineering by introducing \textbf{Quadratic and Weighted operators}. Future work includes:
\begin{itemize}
    \item \textbf{Numerical validation} in computational physics.
    \item \textbf{Extensions to chaos theory and fractal calculus}.
\end{itemize}
