test_int
test_int,
a C++ code which
evaluates test integrands.
The test integrands would normally be used to testing one
dimensional quadrature software. It is possible to invoke a
particular function by number, or to try out all available functions,
as demonstrated in the sample calling program.
The library includes not just the integrand, but also the interval
of integration, and the exact value of the integral.
Thus, for each integrand function, three subroutines are supplied. For
instance, for function #9, we have the routines:
-
P09_FUN evaluates the integrand for problem 9.
-
P09_LIM returns the integration limits for problem 9.
-
P09_EXACT returns the exact integral for problem 9.
So once you have the calling sequences for these routines, you
can easily evaluate the function, or integrate it between the
appropriate limits, or compare your estimate of the integral
to the exact value.
Moreover, since the same interface is used for each function,
if you wish to work with problem 16 instead, you simply change
the "09" to "16" in your routine calls.
If you wish to call all of the functions, then you
simply use the generic interface, which again has three
subroutines, but which requires you to specify the problem
number as an extra input argument:
-
P00_FUN evaluates the integrand for any problem.
-
P00_LIM returns the integration limits for any problem.
-
P00_EXACT returns the exact integral for any problem.
Finally, some demonstration routines are built in for
simple quadrature methods. These routines include
-
P00_GAUSS_LEGENDRE
-
P00_EVEN
-
P00_HALTON
-
P00_MIDPOINT
-
P00_MONTECARLO
-
P00_SIMPSON
-
P00_TRAPEZOID
and can be used with any of the sample integrands.
