Definitely I must take again the experiment, timing and then control the line. I'll do it asap.

Free42 Decimal version 1.5.5.

I recommend getting the latest version; there was a bug in the INTEG termination condition before 2.0.5 that would make it return inaccurate results in some cases.

Even the latest code doesn't do very well on 1/sqrt(1-x), though.

In "Limited edition" with accuracy 1E-6 the error 0 occurs after 47 minutes. The program ends in line "006 15", that's 1/x and the x is equal to 1, so the problem is the division by 0: 1/0.
That doesn't occur with 1E-5 (in 23 minutes) and 1E-4 (in 2'30'') nor 1E-3 or 1E-2, in witch the result is immediate or about immediate.

Actually this integral isn't quite as difficul as it seems when using purely numeric (not CAS) methods, it's just a matter of using some numerical quadrature method suited to the task at hand.

Just for instance my very own implementation of one such method for the barebones HP-71B does return 2.000000000000 (i.e.: exactly 2 to twelve digits) in just 4 seconds when run in J-F Garnier's Emu71 (about 15 min. in a real machine) using an accuracy as low as 1e-4.

Also, the fact that CAS can give the exact value almost instantly is completely irrelevant, most integrals cannot be managed by CAS and even slight changes to this one woul be intractable

Why do you think this is completely irrelevant? If I want to solve an integral the first step is trying to solve it symbolically and get an exact result. Either "by hand" or with a CAS. If this is not possible – and you don't know unless you tried – a numeric approach (for a definite integral) is the second option that gives at least a more or less exact approximation.

I agree.
Actually I wanted to test numerical integral in some calculators that hasn't symbolic integration, but if I need to know the value of an integral for working purpose I search for it in a CAS machine (49, 50g, Prime...) if possible... Said that, if one doesn't remember by hearth the antiderivative (to do it by hand) and has got in that moment only a calculator like HP15 or HP41 or HP42s and so on, better trying numerical integration than nothing...
Anyway, this particular integral was for me a way to test the behaviour and potentiality of some beloved calculators of ours.

Any questions? (Timing you may test on your own machine.)

I neither own a physical Advantage ROM nor the PPC ROM, but I have V41 here, which is set to a speed that very closely matches that of a real '41.

- With FIX 2 set, the Advantage Pac's INTEG routine returns 1,99 after 1:34 minutes.
- The PPC ROM's IG routine (which shows successive approcimations) arrives at this point after about 3 minutes.
- The PPC ROM stops after two successive approximations with the same result, rounded to display precision. This requires 9:20 minutes with a final result of 2,00.

BTW both ROMs have different integration algorithms. The PPC ROM's IG program is a classic Romberg method while the Advantage ROM's INTEG routine seems to implement the same (or at least a similar) method as the 34C or 15C. While no details have been officially published it was said that this is "a Romberg method" with a modified way of sampling the function values.

See here.
Advanced Pac should use Romberg method as HP 15C, and timing are comparable, actually (I mean with classic 15, not LE).
I've both Math and Advantage. The manual of Advantage warns that some functions (complex...) are the same in the module and that would be better not to use both together, however some functions in Math aren't in Advantage (Fourier, hyperbolic...), some other are in Advantage and not in Math (Vectors, TVM...), so I'm trying to use both together or, if possible, one at a time...
However, the integration is more easy in Advantage and not in Math, IMHO.
I haven't V41, but i41CX in iPhone, so I wonder if there is IG for it, but I think that it is not so easy to set the speed "close to real 41CX" in iPhone or iPad. More, I noted (and I told it to its author) that when it is active, i41CX in my iPhone 6 drains soon the battery...

In the front of the Advantage ROM manual (p. 2), it states:

Quote:The root-finding and numerical-integration routines in this pac were
adapted from those in the HP-15C by Firmware Specialists, Inc., 605 NW

Probably as close to official as these things get.

Romberg is not the same as Romberg. ;-) The implementations are different. The IG code is a (slightly modified) "classic" Romberg approach. The HP Integrate code however seems to be a bit more sophisticated as it uses a different sampling method to avoid problems with periodic functions. This was explained in the respective HP Journal Kahan article, cf. August 1980 issue, p. 26: "What method underlies the ∫xy key?":

Quote:The HP-34C uses a Romberg method; for details consult reference 2. Several refinements were found necessary. In stead of uniformly spaced nodes, which can induce a kind of resonance or aliasing that produces misleading results when the integrand is periodic, the ∫xy key's nodes are spaced nonuniformly. (...)

The article continues with further details.

The 41C is much faster than the 15C so I'd expect significantly shorter execution times.

Why? Do they have the same function names so that a calling them can be ambiguous?

And some are neither in the one nor the other. I would have expected a complete set of complex trig and hyperbolic functions along with their inverses in full precision 13-digit MCode routines.

The Math and Math/Stat ROMs include an integration program (INTG) but, as usual, both the chosen algorithm and the implementation leave significant room for improvement: it's simply the standard Simpson method without any improvements (e.g. as in this example) and the program is not coded particularly well. So on the '41 the Advantage ROM's INTEG seems to be the best choice.

In fact you can get the current approximation of the integral during a running calculation. This is described in appendix E of the 15C manual ("Owner's Handbook", p. 257 of the English version): "Obtaining the Current Approximation to an Integral".

Yes, e.g. for complex operations and few other functions. I can try putting Advantage on port 3 and Math in 4 (in Catalog 2 they are listed in that order), to give Advantage the priority (it has some machine coded programs and some RPN routines...), however, if I'm not wrong, for complex it uses the same RPN routines that Math. I need Math only for hyperbolic and Fourier, mostly.

For the record, here are the results for the HP35s Integration routine. Here the function has been entered as an equation.

FIX 2 returns 1,98 ±0,02 in about 7 seconds.
FIX 3 returns 1,999 ±0,002 in about 1:35 minutes.

So the HP35s seems to have an improved algorithm. OK, it is much faster than the original 15C, but I especially like the good error estimates.

Really? Almost same CPU, functionally identical, but running much faster if boxed in an HP41? That's new to me.

Take a look at Carsen's result:

As noted, the 41C Advantage ROM's INTEG does it in 1:34 minutes. As opposed to 2:42 on the 15C.

Also take a look at the 8-queens benchmark:

HP-15C: 1:19'10"
HP-41C: 0:17'35"

So I think it is obvious that the 15C is significantly slower than the 41C. However, how much slower seems to depend on various factors.
