Link for the lazy: Numerical Integration on the 35S. This is another example where most HP-calculators fail.

What about to use a simple Monte Carlo method as a "pre-processor" to get a "rough estimate", ie.: Code: NIntegrate[x - Floor[x], {x, 0, 6.4}, returns always nice results around 3.08. So we can see whether the specific "precise" integration method with some "difficult" integrands has failed or not.. PS: another example from above posts: Code: NIntegrate[ RE: Fractional Part - A Difficult Integral - ttw - 06-30-2014 01:17 PM Numerical integration of things like Frac(x)dx do not gain by using high-order rules (Simpson's, Gauss, etc.) because the first derivative is not continuous. Monte Carlo (and quasi Monte Carlo) does no worse than its usual performance (which isn't that good anyway) as the variance (or variation) is small. One QMC example is to use the points (2j-1)/2N for j=1,N as an N-point integration formula. Another is to use Frac(N*Sqrt(2)) as a sequence to integrate these types of functions. The last sequence is easy to compute; just add Frac(Sqrt(2)) at each step and reduce below 1. |
