AdaptiveGaussKronrod
AdaptiveGaussKronrod (f,a,b)

Find the integral of f over the interval [a,b] using an adaptive algorithm using Gauss-Kronrod rule G7 K15. It will subdivide adaptively until the relative error is less than AdaptiveGaussKronrodRelativeTolerance or the absolute error is within AdaptiveGaussKronrodAbsoluteTolerance. The subinterval with the largest error is subdivided into two until we get a small enough error or until we hit AdaptiveGaussKronrodMaxIterations iterations.

If an estimate within the given range is not achieved within the iteration limit, then null is returned and error is printed.

See Wikipedia for more information.

Version 1.0.28 onwards.

AdaptiveGaussKronrodWithTolerance
AdaptiveGaussKronrod (f,a,b,abstol,reltol)

Find the integral of f over the interval [a,b] using an adaptive algorithm using Gauss-Kronrod rule G7 K15. It will subdivide adaptively until the relative error is less than abstol or the absolute error is within reltol. The subinterval with the largest error is subdivided into two until we get a small enough error or until we hit AdaptiveGaussKronrodMaxIterations iterations.

If an estimate within the given range is not achieved within the iteration limit, then null is returned and error is printed.

This function is useful if different precision than the defaults is needed and one does not want to change global parameters. For example, if less precision is needed and speed is paramount. Otherwise just use AdaptiveGaussKronrod or NumericalIntegral

Version 1.0.28 onwards.

CompositeSimpsonsRule
CompositeSimpsonsRule (f,a,b,n)

Integration of f by Composite 1/3 Simpson's Rule on the interval [a,b] with n subintervals with error of max(f'''')*h^4*(b-a)/180, note that n should be even. If the given n is odd, then 1 is added to make it even.

It is the 1/3 variant of the rule that is used, that is, if the x0,x1,x2,...,xn are the points, then the rule is ((b-a)/n) * (f(x0) + 4*f(x1) + 2*f(x2) + ... + 4*f(x(n-1)) + f(xn)).

The n argument is optional. If it is not given the value of NumericalIntegralSteps is used, which is by default 1000.

See Wikipedia or Planetmath for more information.

CompositeSimpsonsRuleData
CompositeSimpsonsRule (f,len)

Integration using Composite Simpson's rule of a function given by a vector of values f given at equal subintervals. The integration interval is taken to be of length len, that is, if the interval is [a,b], then len should be b-a. The vector f should have at least 3 values (representing 2 subintervals). Normally the 1/3 rule is used. If there is an odd number of subintervals, the 3/8 rule is used on the last 3 subintervals.

GaussKronrodRule
GaussKronrodRule (f,a,b)

A single shot Gauss-Kronrod rule G7 K15 over the interval [a,b]. It returns a vector where the first element is the approximate integral and the second is the approximate error obtained by subtracting the G7 and K15 approximates. This is already quite good, but often it is better to call it from within the AdaptiveGaussKronrod function, which is the default for NumericalIntegral.
