The gravitar was made with Mathematica, and inspired by this.

revised Can we construct a Hilbert space where the operator $A_u v := -\frac{1}{2} v'' + (vF + v\int_\mathbb{R} Su + u\int_\mathbb{R} Sv )'$ is symmetric?

Also, Integrate doesn't do anything with an integer assumption (see the comments), so you have to watch out for them yourself.

comment Possible bug in Mathematica?
Sorry, mixing messages there. $\int^\pi_{-\pi} \cos(qx) = 2$ when $q = 0$, but $0$ otherwise. But, you get the wrong answer if you integrate first and then set $q=0$. So, I was wondering if we're running into something similar with regards to $r$ in your integrals, but I didn't write it out as fully as I should have.

I have no idea why it ends being the exact negative. A guess is that like $\int^\pi_{-\pi} \cos(qx)$ with $q\in\mathbb{Z}$, there are multiple solutions depending on $r$, and by not fixing its value, Mathematica blithely chooses the incorrect one.

Some quick notes. Symbolically integrating both pieces, I get (-i r^2 + r^(3/2) (i FresnelC[Sqrt[r]] + FresnelS[Sqrt[2]]))/Pi for $\int f$ and its negative for the second integral. However, integrating them both with a definite value of $r$, I get different results. For $r=5$, the sum is $1.19-5.00i$, and for $r=6$, the sum is $3.30-9.00i$, rounded, of course. I wonder if this is similar to the problem of integrating $\cos(q x)$ with $q \in \mathbb{Z}$.

comment How to solve integral in Mathematica?
Can you do me a favor and give some details as to the mathematics problem you're trying to solve? If we can understand what it is you're trying to accomplish, we may be able to provide better answers.

comment How to make Runge-Kutta for solving nonlinear ODE system in Mathematica
@George, I just downloaded your notebook, and in it you're using the form \[DifferentialD]f/\[DifferentialD]t which is incorrect as DifferentialD has no meaning by itself. Instead, you're looking for \[PartialD].
