NAG FL Interface
s13adf (integral_​sin)

1 Purpose

s13adf returns the value of the sine integral
Six=0xsinuudu,  
via the function name.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Function s13adf ( x, ifail)
Real (Kind=nag_wp) :: s13adf
Integer, Intent (Inout) :: ifail
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In) :: x
C Header Interface
#include <nag.h>
double  s13adf_ (const double *x, Integer *ifail)
The routine may be called by the names s13adf or nagf_specfun_integral_sin.

3 Description

s13adf calculates an approximate value for Six.
For x16.0 it is based on the Chebyshev expansion
Six=xr=0arTrt,t=2 x16 2-1.  
For 16<x<xhi, where xhi is an implementation-dependent number,
Six=signx π2-fxcosxx-gxsinxx2  
where fx=r=0frTrt and gx=r=0grTrt, t=2 16x 2-1.
For xxhi, Six=12π signx to within machine precision.

5 Arguments

1: x Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the argument x of the function.
2: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 4 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface 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, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is 0. 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).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

There are no failure exits from s13adf. The argument ifail has been included for consistency with other routines in this chapter.

7 Accuracy

If δ and ε are the relative errors in the argument and result, respectively, then in principle
ε δ sinx Six .  
The equality may hold if δ is greater than the machine precision (δ due to data errors etc.) but if δ is simply due to round-off in the machine representation, then since the factor relating δ to ε is always less than 1, the accuracy will be limited by machine precision.

8 Parallelism and Performance

s13adf is not threaded in any implementation.

10 Example

This example reads values of the argument x from a file, evaluates the function at each value of x and prints the results.
