Re: An Integral and the Computer

Yes. Would you change the title of this thread to 'An Integral and the Computer' or something more interesting

Re: An Integral and the Computer

Hi;

I will change it to exactly that.

Re: An Integral and the Computer

Hm, what about Romberg?

Re: An Integral and the Computer

Romberg uses the trapezoidal rule and then generates an array of values. Hopefully with each column being more accurate because each column is a higher and higher Newton Cotes.

Re: An Integral and the Computer

So, how is each value generated, exactly?

Re: An Integral and the Computer

It uses something called Richardson's Extrapolation to do that. I generally do not use it for anything but sequence acceleration and I am not sure how it does that either.

As I said the first column is as trapezoidal rule the successive columns are computed using this formula:

Re: An Integral and the Computer

The original integral to a 100 places (with trap):

Requires n=215004709762716014868701639070092447035983684173824 according to the error estimate.

I would not recommend the trap rule for that many digits of precision.

Re: An Integral and the Computer

With what did you compute that?

I do not recommend it either. Just look at how large n it took!

Re: An Integral and the Computer

Of course not! Nothing can do something like that that many times. What I do not know is what it did.

Re: An Integral and the Computer

Used acceleration techniques. What command did you use?

Sum.

Okay, that uses lots of acceleration making that command fast.

Re: An Integral and the Computer

Yes, thought it was something like that, but that number is still very large. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it all of them are very very small.

Re: An Integral and the Computer

If you used Sum he probably was able to do the definite summation and get a closed form.

It seems it really does have a closed form for the sum!
