3 Description

d01atf is based on the QUADPACK routine QAGS (see Piessens et al. (1983)). It is an adaptive routine, using the Gauss 10-point and Kronrod 21-point rules. The algorithm, described in de Doncker (1978), incorporates a global acceptance criterion (as defined by Malcolm and Simpson (1976)) together with the ε-algorithm (see Wynn (1956)) to perform extrapolation. The local error estimation is described in Piessens et al. (1983).
The routine is suitable as a general purpose integrator, and can be used when the integrand has singularities, especially when these are of algebraic or logarithmic type.
d01atf requires a subroutine to evaluate the integrand at an array of different points and is, therefore, amenable to parallel execution. Otherwise the algorithm is identical to that used by d01ajf.

5 Arguments

1: f Subroutine, supplied by the user. External Procedure
f must return the values of the integrand f at a set of points.
The specification of f is:
Fortran Interface
Subroutine f ( x, fv, n)
Integer, Intent (In) :: n
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: x(n)
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Out) :: fv(n)
C Header Interface
void  f (const double x[], double fv[], const Integer *n)
1: x(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Input
On entry: the points at which the integrand f must be evaluated.
2: fv(n) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: fv(j) must contain the value of f at the point x(j), for j=1,2,,n.
3: n Integer Input
On entry: the number of points at which the integrand is to be evaluated. The actual value of n is always 21.
f must either be a module subprogram USEd by, or declared as EXTERNAL in, the (sub)program from which d01atf is called. Arguments denoted as Input must not be changed by this procedure.
Note: f should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by d01atf. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, d01atf is likely to produce unexpected results.
2: a Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: a, the lower limit of integration.
3: b Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: b, the upper limit of integration. It is not necessary that a<b.
4: epsabs Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the absolute accuracy required. If epsabs is negative, the absolute value is used. See Section 7.
5: epsrel Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the relative accuracy required. If epsrel is negative, the absolute value is used. See Section 7.
6: result Real (Kind=nag_wp) Output
On exit: the approximation to the integral I.
7: abserr Real (Kind=nag_wp) Output
On exit: an estimate of the modulus of the absolute error, which should be an upper bound for |I-result|.
8: w(lw) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Output
On exit: details of the computation see Section 9 for more information.
9: lw Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array w as declared in the (sub)program from which d01atf is called. The value of lw (together with that of liw) imposes a bound on the number of sub-intervals into which the interval of integration may be divided by the routine. The number of sub-intervals cannot exceed lw/4. The more difficult the integrand, the larger lw should be.
Suggested value: lw=800 to 2000 is adequate for most problems.
Constraint: lw4.
10: iw(liw) Integer array Output
On exit: iw(1) contains the actual number of sub-intervals used. The rest of the array is used as workspace.
11: liw Integer Input
On entry: the dimension of the array iw as declared in the (sub)program from which d01atf is called. The number of sub-intervals into which the interval of integration may be divided cannot exceed liw.
Suggested value: liw=lw/4.
Constraint: liw1.
12: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, −1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of −1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value −1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value −1 is recommended since useful values can be provided in some output arguments even when ifail0 on exit. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or −1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
Note: in some cases d01atf may return useful information.
ifail=1
The maximum number of subdivisions allowed with the given workspace has been reached without the accuracy requirements being achieved. Look at the integrand in order to determine the integration difficulties. If the position of a local difficulty within the interval can be determined (e.g., a singularity of the integrand or its derivative, a peak, a discontinuity, etc.) you will probably gain from splitting up the interval at this point and calling the integrator on the subranges. If necessary, another integrator, which is designed for handling the type of difficulty involved, must be used. Alternatively, consider relaxing the accuracy requirements specified by epsabs and epsrel, or increasing the amount of workspace.
ifail=2
Round-off error prevents the requested tolerance from being achieved: epsabs=value and epsrel=value.
ifail=3
Extremely bad integrand behaviour occurs around the sub-interval (value,value). The same advice applies as in the case of ifail=1.
ifail=4
Round-off error is detected in the extrapolation table. The requested tolerance cannot be achieved because the extrapolation does not increase the accuracy satisfactorily; the returned result is the best that can be obtained. The same advice applies as in the case of ifail=1.
ifail=5
The integral is probably divergent or slowly convergent.
ifail=6
On entry, liw=value.
Constraint: liw1.
On entry, lw=value.
Constraint: lw4.
ifail=-99

7 Accuracy

d01atf cannot guarantee, but in practice usually achieves, the following accuracy:
|I-result| tol ,  
where
tol = max{|epsabs|,|epsrel|×|I|} ,  
and epsabs and epsrel are user-specified absolute and relative error tolerances. Moreover, it returns the quantity abserr which, in normal circumstances, satisfies
|I-result| abserr tol .  

8 Parallelism and Performance

d01atf is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

If ifail0 on exit, then you may wish to examine the contents of the array w, which contains the end points of the sub-intervals used by d01atf along with the integral contributions and error estimates over the sub-intervals.
Specifically, for i=1,2,,n, let ri denote the approximation to the value of the integral over the sub-interval [ai,bi] in the partition of [a,b] and ei be the corresponding absolute error estimate. Then, ai bi f(x) dx ri and result = i=1 n ri , unless d01atf terminates while testing for divergence of the integral (see Section 3.4.3 of Piessens et al. (1983)). In this case, result (and abserr) are taken to be the values returned from the extrapolation process. The value of n is returned in iw(1), and the values ai, bi, ei and ri are stored consecutively in the array w, that is:
