d01rkf provides thread safety in passing of data to user-supplied function.
d01rkf 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).
d01akf is an adaptive integrator, especially suited to oscillating, nonsingular integrands, which calculates an approximation to the integral of a function over a finite interval :
The routine may be called by the names d01akf or nagf_quad_dim1_fin_osc.
3Description
d01akf is based on the QUADPACK routine QAG (see Piessens et al. (1983)). It is an adaptive routine, using the Gauss -point and Kronrod -point rules. A ‘global’ acceptance criterion (as defined by Malcolm and Simpson (1976)) is used. The local error estimation is described in Piessens et al. (1983).
Because d01akf is based on integration rules of high order, it is especially suitable for nonsingular oscillating integrands.
d01akf requires you to supply a function to evaluate the integrand at a single point.
The routine d01auf uses an identical algorithm but requires you to supply a subroutine to evaluate the integrand at an array of points. Therefore, d01auf will be more efficient if the evaluation can be performed in vector mode on a vector-processing machine.

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 d01akf 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 d01akf. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, d01akf is likely to produce unexpected results.
2: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: , the lower limit of integration.
3: – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: , the upper limit of integration. It is not necessary that .
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 d01akf 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 d01akf 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. 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:
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 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: and .
Extremely bad integrand behaviour occurs around the sub-interval . The same advice applies as in the case of .

7Accuracy

9Further Comments
The time taken by d01akf 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 d01akf 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 . The value of is returned in
,
and the values , , and are stored consecutively in the
array w,
