integrand f(x)
lower limit of integration
upper limit of integration
relative error requested
approximation to the integral
estimate of the absolute error
Remarks: <pre> function f(x) needs to be analytic over (a,b). relative error eps is relative error requested excluding cancellation of significant digits. i.e. eps means : (absolute error) / (integral_a^b |f(x)| dx). eps does not mean : (absolute error) / I. error message err >= 0 : normal termination. err < 0 : abnormal termination (m >= mmax). i.e. convergent error is detected : 1. f(x) or (d/dx)^n f(x) has discontinuous points or sharp peaks over (a,b). you must divide the interval (a,b) at this points. 2. relative error of f(x) is greater than eps. 3. f(x) has oscillatory factor and frequency of the oscillation is very high. </pre>
I = integral of f(x) over (a,b)
