1 Purpose
D01APF is an adaptive integrator which calculates an approximation to the integral of a function
over a finite interval
:
where the weight function
has end point singularities of algebraico-logarithmic type.

3 Description
D01APF is based on the QUADPACK routine QAWSE (see
Piessens et al. (1983)) and integrates a function of the form
, where the weight function
may have algebraico-logarithmic singularities at the end points
and/or
. The strategy is a modification of that in
D01AKF. We start by bisecting the original interval and applying modified Clenshaw–Curtis integration of orders
and
to both halves. Clenshaw–Curtis integration is then used on all sub-intervals which have
or
as one of their end points (see
Piessens et al. (1974)). On the other sub-intervals Gauss–Kronrod (
–
point) integration is carried out.
A ‘global’ acceptance criterion (as defined by
Malcolm and Simpson (1976)) is used. The local error estimation control is described in
Piessens et al. (1983).

5 Parameters
- 1: G – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) FUNCTION, supplied by the user.External Procedure
G must return the value of the function

On entry: the point at which the function must be evaluated.
G must either be a module subprogram USEd by, or declared as EXTERNAL in, the (sub)program from which D01APF is called. Parameters denoted as

- 7: EPSABS – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the absolute accuracy required. If
EPSABS is negative, the absolute value is used. See
Section 7.
- 8: EPSREL – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the relative accuracy required. If
EPSREL is negative, the absolute value is used. See
Section 7.
- 9: RESULT – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Output
On exit: the approximation to the integral .
- 10: ABSERR – REAL (KIND=nag_wp)Output
On exit: an estimate of the modulus of the absolute error, which should be an upper bound for .
- 11: W(LW) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: details of the computation see
Section 8 for more information.
- 12: LW – INTEGERInput
On entry: the dimension of the array
W as declared in the (sub)program from which D01APF is called. The value of
LW (together with that of
LIW) imposes a bound on the number of sub-intervals into which the interval of integration may be divided by the routine. The number of sub-intervals cannot exceed

LW should be.
Suggested value:
to is adequate for most problems.
Constraint:

- 13: IW(LIW) – INTEGER arrayOutput
On exit: contains the actual number of sub-intervals used. The rest of the array is used as workspace.
- 14: LIW – INTEGERInput
On entry: the dimension of the array
IW as declared in the (sub)program from which D01APF is called. The number of sub-intervals into which the interval of integration may be divided cannot exceed
LIW.
Suggested value:

Constraint:

- 15: IFAIL – INTEGERInput/Output
-
On entry:
IFAIL must be set to
,
. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to
Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, because for this routine the values of the output parameters may be useful even if
on exit, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit:
unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see
Section 6).
6 Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry
or
, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by
X04AAF).
Note: D01APF may return useful information for one or more of the following detected errors or warnings.
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
The maximum number of subdivisions allowed with the given workspace has been reached without the accuracy requirements being achieved. Look at the integrand in order to determine the integration difficulties. If the position of a discontinuity or a singularity of algebraico-logarithmic type within the interval can be determined, the interval must be split up at this point and the integrator called on the subranges. If necessary, another integrator, which is designed for handling the type of difficulty involved, must be used. Alternatively, consider relaxing the accuracy requirements specified by
EPSABS and
EPSREL, or increasing the amount of workspace.
Round-off error prevents the requested tolerance from being achieved. Consider requesting less accuracy.
Extremely bad local integrand behaviour causes a very strong subdivision around one (or more) points of the interval. The same advice applies as in the case of .

7 Accuracy
D01APF cannot guarantee, but in practice usually achieves, the following accuracy:
where
and
EPSABS and
EPSREL are user-specified absolute and relative error tolerances. Moreover, it returns the quantity
ABSERR which, in normal circumstances, satisfies
The time taken by D01APF depends on the integrand and the accuracy required.
If
on exit, then you may wish to examine the contents of the array
W, which contains the end points of the sub-intervals used by D01APF along with the integral contributions and error estimates over these sub-intervals.
Specifically, for
, let
denote the approximation to the value of the integral over the sub-interval
in the partition of

be the corresponding absolute error estimate. Then,
