Integration COS 323
Numerical Integration Problems • Basic 1D numerical integration: • Given ability to evaluate f(x) for any x, find • Goal: best accuracy with fewest samples • Other problems (future lectures): • Improper integration • Multi-dimensional integration • Ordinary differential equations • Partial differential equations
f(b) f(a) a b Trapezoidal Rule • Approximate function by trapezoid
f(b) f(a) a b Trapezoidal Rule
f(b) f(a) a b a b Extended Trapezoidal Rule Divide into segments of width h:
Trapezoidal Rule Error Analysis • How accurate is this approximation? • Start with Taylor series for f(x) around a
Trapezoidal Rule Error Analysis • Expand LHS: • Expand RHS
Trapezoidal Rule Error Analysis • So, • In general, error for a single segment proportional to h3 • Error for subdividing entire ab interval proportional to h2 • “Cubic local accuracy, quadratic global accuracy”
Determining Step Size • Change in integral when reducing step sizeis a reasonable guess for accuracy • For trapezoidal rule, easy to go from h h/2without wasting previous samples a b
Simpson’s Rule f(b) • Approximate integral byparabola throughthree points • Better accuracy for same # of evaluations f(a) a b
Richardson Extrapolation • Better way of getting higher accuracy for agiven # of samples • Suppose we’ve evaluated integral for step sizeh and step size h/2: • Then
Richardson Extrapolation • This treats the approximation as a function of h and “extrapolates” the result to h=0 • Can repeat: –1/3 –1/15 4/3 16/15 –1/63 64/63
Open Methods • Trapezoidal rule won’t work if function undefined at one of the points where evaluating • Most often: function infinite at one endpoint • Open methods only evaluate function on the open interval (i.e., not at endpoints)
a b Midpoint Rule • Approximate function by rectangle evaluated at midpoint
a b a b Extended Midpoint Rule Divide into segments of width h:
Midpoint Rule Error Analysis • Following similar analysis to trapezoidal rule,find that local accuracy is cubic,quadratic global accuracy • Formula suitable for adaptive method,Richardson extrapolation,but can’t halve intervals withoutwasting samples
Discontinuities • All the above error analyses assumed nice (continuous, differentiable) functions • In the presence of a discontinuity, all methodsrevert to accuracy proportional to h • Locally-adaptive methods: do not subdivideall intervals equally, focus on those with large error(estimated from change with a single subdivision)
