d01rmf provides thread safety in passing of data to user-supplied function.
d01rmf also requires the user-supplied subroutine
f to calculate a vector of abscissae at once for greater
efficiency, has an improved interface for setting the maximum number of subdivisions allowed (maxsub),
and returns additional information on the computation (in the arrays rinfo and iinfo
rather than w and iw previously).

3Description
d01amf is based on the QUADPACK routine QAGI (see Piessens et al. (1983)). The entire infinite integration range is first transformed to using one of the identities:
where represents a finite integration limit. An adaptive procedure, based on the Gauss -point and Kronrod -point rules, is then employed on the transformed integral. The algorithm, described in de Doncker (1978), incorporates a global acceptance criterion (as defined by Malcolm and Simpson (1976)) together with the -algorithm (see Wynn (1956)) to perform extrapolation. The local error estimation is described in Piessens et al. (1983).

5Arguments
1: – real (Kind=nag_wp) Function, supplied by the user.External Procedure
f must return the value of the integrand at a given point.
On entry: the point at which the integrand must be evaluated.
f must either be a module subprogram USEd by, or declared as EXTERNAL in, the (sub)program from which d01amf is called. Arguments denoted as Input must not be changed by this procedure.
Note:f should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by d01amf. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, d01amf is likely to produce unexpected results.
2: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the finite limit of the integration range (if present). bound is not used if the interval is doubly infinite.
3: – IntegerInput
On entry: indicates the kind of integration range.
The range is .
The range is .
The range is .
Constraint:
, or .
4: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the absolute accuracy required. If epsabs is negative, the absolute value is used. See Section 7.
5: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the relative accuracy required. If epsrel is negative, the absolute value is used. See Section 7.
6: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Output
On exit: the approximation to the integral .
7: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Output
On exit: an estimate of the modulus of the absolute error, which should be an upper bound for .
8: – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: details of the computation see Section 9 for more information.
9: – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array w as declared in the (sub)program from which d01amf 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 . The more difficult the integrand, the larger lw should be.
Suggested value:
to is adequate for most problems.
Constraint:
.
10: – Integer arrayOutput
On exit: contains the actual number of sub-intervals used. The rest of the array is used as workspace.
11: – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array iw as declared in the (sub)program from which d01amf is called. The number of sub-intervals into which the interval of integration may be divided cannot exceed liw.
Suggested value:
.
Constraint:
.
12: – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to , or to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of means that an error message is printed while a value of means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value or is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value is recommended. Otherwise, the value is recommended since useful values can be provided in some output arguments even when on exit. When the value or 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).
6Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry or , explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
Note: in some cases d01amf may return useful information.
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 local difficulty within the interval can be determined (e.g., a singularity of the integrand or its derivative, a peak, a discontinuity, etc.) you will probably gain from splitting up the interval at this point and calling d01amf on the infinite subrange and an appropriate integrator on the finite subrange. 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: and .
Extremely bad integrand behaviour occurs around one of the sub-intervals or . The same advice applies as in the case of .
Extremely bad integrand behaviour occurs around the sub-interval . The same advice applies as in the case of .
Round-off error is detected in the extrapolation table. The requested tolerance cannot be achieved because the extrapolation does not increase the accuracy satisfactorily; the returned result is the best that can be obtained. The same advice applies as in the case of .
The integral is probably divergent or slowly convergent.

7Accuracy
d01amf 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
8Parallelism and Performance
d01amf is not threaded in any implementation.
9Further Comments
The time taken by d01amf 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 d01amf 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 and be the corresponding absolute error estimate. Then, and , unless d01amf terminates while testing for divergence of the integral (see Section 3.4.3 of Piessens et al. (1983)). In this case, result (and abserr) are taken to be the values returned from the extrapolation process. The value of is returned in
