Description

d01asf is based on the QUADPACK routine QAWFE (see Piessens et al. (1983)). It is an adaptive routine, designed to integrate a function of the form gxwx over a semi-infinite interval, where wx is either sinωx or cosω x.
Over successive intervals
Ck = a+k-1c,a+kc ,   k=1,2,,lst  
integration is performed by the same algorithm as is used by d01anf. The intervals Ck are of constant length
c = 2ω +1 π/ω ,   ω0 ,  
where ω represents the largest integer less than or equal to ω. Since c equals an odd number of half periods, the integral contributions over succeeding intervals will alternate in sign when the function g is positive and monotonically decreasing over a,. The algorithm, described in Piessens et al. (1983), incorporates a global acceptance criterion (as defined by Malcolm and Simpson (1976)) together with the ε-algorithm (see Wynn (1956)) to perform extrapolation. The local error estimation is described by Piessens et al. (1983).
If ω=0 and key=1, the routine uses the same algorithm as d01amf (with epsrel=0.0).
In contrast to the other routines in Chapter D01, d01asf works only with an absolute error tolerance (epsabs). Over the interval Ck it attempts to satisfy the absolute accuracy requirement
EPSAk = Uk×epsabs ,  
where Uk=1-ppk-1, for k=1,2, and p=0.9.
However, when difficulties occur during the integration over the kth sub-interval Ck such that the error flag ierlstk is nonzero, the accuracy requirement over subsequent intervals is relaxed. See Piessens et al. (1983) for more details.

Arguments

1:     g – real (Kind=nag_wp) Function, supplied by the user.External Procedure
g must return the value of the function g at a given point x.
The specification of g is:
Fortran Interface
Function g ( x)
Real (Kind=nag_wp):: g
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In):: x
C Header Interface
#include nagmk26.h
double  g ( const double *x)
1:     x – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the point at which the function g must be evaluated.
g must either be a module subprogram USEd by, or declared as EXTERNAL in, the (sub)program from which d01asf is called. Arguments denoted as Input must not be changed by this procedure.
Note: g should not return floating-point NaN (Not a Number) or infinity values, since these are not handled by d01asf. If your code inadvertently does return any NaNs or infinities, d01asf is likely to produce unexpected results.
2:     a – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: a, the lower limit of integration.
3:     omega – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the argument ω in the weight function of the transform.
4:     key – IntegerInput
On entry: indicates which integral is to be computed.
key=1
wx=cosωx.
key=2
wx=sinωx.
Constraint: key=1 or 2.
5:     epsabs – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Input
On entry: the absolute accuracy required. If epsabs is negative, the absolute value is used. See Section 7.
6:     result – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Output
On exit: the approximation to the integral I.
7:     abserr – Real (Kind=nag_wp)Output
On exit: an estimate of the modulus of the absolute error, which should be an upper bound for I-result.
8:     limlst – IntegerInput
On entry: an upper bound on the number of intervals Ck needed for the integration.
Suggested value: limlst=50 is adequate for most problems.
Constraint: limlst3.
9:     lst – IntegerOutput
On exit: the number of intervals Ck actually used for the integration.
10:   erlstlimlst – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: erlstk contains the error estimate corresponding to the integral contribution over the interval Ck, for k=1,2,,lst.
11:   rslstlimlst – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: rslstk contains the integral contribution over the interval Ck, for k=1,2,,lst.
12:   ierlstlimlst – Integer arrayOutput
On exit: ierlstk contains the error flag corresponding to rslstk, for k=1,2,,lst. See Section 6.
13:   wlw – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayWorkspace
14:   lw – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array w as declared in the (sub)program from which d01asf is called. The value of lw (together with that of liw) imposes a bound on the number of sub-intervals into which each interval Ck may be divided by the routine. The number of sub-intervals cannot exceed lw/4. The more difficult the integrand, the larger lw should be.
Suggested value: a value in the range 800 to 2000 is adequate for most problems.
Constraint: lw4.
15:   iwliw – Integer arrayOutput
On exit: iw1 contains the maximum number of sub-intervals actually used for integrating over any of the intervals Ck. The rest of the array is used as workspace.
16:   liw – IntegerInput
On entry: the dimension of the array iw as declared in the (sub)program from which d01asf is called. The number of sub-intervals into which each interval Ck may be divided cannot exceed liw/2.
Suggested value: liw=lw/2.
Constraint: liw2.
17:   ifail – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1​ or ​1. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value -1​ or ​1 is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, because for this routine the values of the output arguments may be useful even if ifail0 on exit, the recommended value is -1. When the value -1​ or ​1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Note: d01asf may return useful information for one or more of the following detected errors or warnings.
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
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 d01asf on the infinite subrange and an appropriate integrator on the finite subrange. Alternatively, consider relaxing the accuracy requirements specified by epsabs or increasing the amount of workspace.
ifail=2
Round-off error prevents the requested tolerance from being achieved. Consider requesting less accuracy.
ifail=3
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 ifail=1.
ifail=4
The requested tolerance cannot be achieved because the extrapolation does not increase the accuracy satisfactorily; the returned result is the best which can be obtained. The same advice applies as in the case of ifail=1.
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 d01asf on the infinite subrange and an appropriate integrator on the finite subrange. Alternatively, consider relaxing the accuracy requirements specified by epsabs or increasing the amount of workspace.
Please note that divergence can occur with any nonzero value of ifail.
ifail=5
The integral is probably divergent, or slowly convergent. Please note that divergence can occur with any nonzero value of ifail.
ifail=6
On entry,key1 or 2,
orlimlst<3.
ifail=7
Bad integration behaviour occurs within one or more of the intervals Ck. Location and type of the difficulty involved can be determined from the vector ierlst.
ifail=8
Maximum number of intervals Ck (=limlst) allowed has been achieved. Increase the value of limlst to allow more cycles.
ifail=9
The extrapolation table constructed for convergence acceleration of the series formed by the integral contribution over the intervals Ck, does not converge to the required accuracy.
ifail=10
On entry,lw<4,
orliw<2.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 3.9 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
ifail=-399
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 3.8 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
ifail=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
In the cases ifail=7, 8 or 9, additional information about the cause of the error can be obtained from the array ierlst, as follows:
ierlstk=1
The maximum number of subdivisions=minlw/4,liw/2 has been achieved on the kth interval.
ierlstk=2
Occurrence of round-off error is detected and prevents the tolerance imposed on the kth interval from being achieved.
ierlstk=3
Extremely bad integrand behaviour occurs at some points of the kth interval.
ierlstk=4
The integration procedure over the kth interval does not converge (to within the required accuracy) due to round-off in the extrapolation procedure invoked on this interval. It is assumed that the result on this interval is the best which can be obtained.
ierlstk=5
The integral over the kth interval is probably divergent or slowly convergent. It must be noted that divergence can occur with any other value of ierlstk.

Accuracy

d01asf cannot guarantee, but in practice usually achieves, the following accuracy:
I-resultepsabs,  
where epsabs is the user-specified absolute error tolerance. Moreover, it returns the quantity abserr, which, in normal circumstances, satisfies
I-resultabserrepsabs.

Parallelism and Performance

d01asf is not threaded in any implementation.
