Integrates a function with algebraic-logarithmic singularities.
Synopsis
#include <imsl.h>
float imsl_f_int_fcn_alg_log (float fcn(), float a, float b, Imsl_quad weight, float alpha, float beta, , 0)
The type double function is imsl_d_int_fcn_alg_log.
Required Arguments
float fcn (float x) (Input)
User-supplied function to be integrated.
float a (Input)
Lower limit of integration.
float b (Input)
Upper limit of integration.
Imsl_quad weight, float alpha, float beta (Input)
These three parameters are used to describe the weight function that may have algebraic or logarithmic singularities at the endpoints. The parameter weight can take on four values as described below. The parameters alpha = α and beta = β specify the strength of the singularities at a or b and hence, must be greater than 1.

Description
The function imsl_f_int_fcn_alg_log is a special-purpose integrator that uses a globally adaptive scheme to reduce the absolute error. It computes integrals whose integrands have the special form w(x)f(x) where w(x) is a weight function described above. A combination of modified Clenshaw-Curtis and Gauss-Kronrod formulas is employed. This function is based on the subroutine QAWS, which is fully documented by Piessens et al. (1983).
On some platforms,imsl_f_int_fcn_alg_log can evaluate the user-supplied function fcn in parallel. This is done only if the function imsl_omp_options is called to flag user-defined functions as thread-safe. A function is thread-safe if there are no dependencies between calls. Such dependencies are usually the result of writing to global or static variables.
Examples
Example 1
The value of
is computed.
 
#include <imsl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
 
float fcn(float x);
 
int main()
{
float q, exact;
 
imsl_omp_options(
IMSL_SET_FUNCTIONS_THREAD_SAFE, 1,
0);
/* Evaluate the integral */
q = imsl_f_int_fcn_alg_log (fcn, 0.0, 1.0,
IMSL_ALG_LEFT_LOG, 1.0, 0.5,
0);
 
/* Print the result and the */
/* exact answer */
exact = (3.*log(2.)-4.)/9.;
printf("integral = %10.3f\nexact = %10.3f\n", q, exact);
}
 
float fcn(float x)
{
return sqrt(1+x);
}
Output
 
integral = -0.213
exact = -0.213
 
Example 2
The value of
is again computed. The values of the actual and estimated error are printed as well. Note that these numbers are machine dependent. Furthermore, the error estimate is usually pessimistic. That is, the actual error is usually smaller than the error estimate, as in this example. The number of function evaluations also are printed.
 
#include <imsl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
 
float fcn(float x);
 
int main()
{
int n_evals;
float q, exact, err_est, exact_err;
 
imsl_omp_options(
IMSL_SET_FUNCTIONS_THREAD_SAFE, 1,
0);
/* Evaluate the integral */
q = imsl_f_int_fcn_alg_log (fcn, 0.0, 1.0,
IMSL_ALG_LEFT_LOG, 1.0, 0.5,
IMSL_ERR_EST, &err_est,
IMSL_N_EVALS, &n_evals,
0);
 
/* Print the result and the */
/* exact answer */
exact = (3.*log(2.)-4.)/9.;
exact_err = fabs(exact - q);
printf("integral = %10.3f\nexact = %10.3f\n", q, exact);
printf("error estimate = %e\nexact error = %e\n", err_est,
exact_err);
printf("The number of function evaluations = %d\n", n_evals);
}
 
float fcn(float x)
{
return sqrt(1+x);
}
Output
 
integral = -0.213
exact = -0.213
error estimate = 3.725290e-09
exact error = 1.490116e-08
The number of function evaluations = 50
