For whom it may concern.
I have just added a javascript for numerical integration at:http://www.hvks.com/Numerical/webintegration.htm
The javascript can do all the simple methos: Trapez, Simpson, Romberg
& Fox-Romberg but also the more advance Gauss-Legendre method.
For the Fox-Romberg and Romberg method some resilicency has been built
in, to handle singularities and improving the convergence power og the
methods.
Comments is as always welcome.
Among the more effective integration methods is the class of double
exponential transform techniques.
This google search will turn up lots of information: double
exponential (quadrature OR integration)
This paper is really nice:http://www.tech.port.ac.uk/staffweb/makrogla/athena/projects/Sean_Mal...
Other interesting techniques include RMS integration of Favati, Lotti,
and Romani and other nested rules like Gauss-Kronrod quadrature.
I have a (possibly ignorant) question:
What is the modification of Romberg integration to form Romberg-Fox
integration
Thank you or your comments. I actually plan to implement your
suggestions in the next release.
The Fox-Romberg is the modification suggested by Fox why the Romberg
method sometimes failed. Take the sqrt(x) in the interval from
[0,0.5]. Fox found out that the convergence power was considerable
less that it should be (around 1.5) and found out that their was a
dangling error term of the power of 1.5 that was never eliminated when
applying a standard Romberg integration with a slower convergence as
the result. By removing the error term the integration qucikly
succeceded. Try the verbose mode with Romberg and Fox-Romberg checked
and you can see the difference in the speed of convergence.
