Note that only positive (or zero) abscissa and weights 44are stored. 45 46 template <class F> 47 static auto integrate(F f, Real* pL1 = nullptr)->decltype(std::declval<F>()(std::declval<Real>())) 48 49Integrates /f/ over (-1,1), and optionally sets `*pL1` to the L1 norm of the returned value: if this is substantially larger 50than the return value, then the sum was ill-conditioned. Note however, that no error estimate is available. 51 52 template <class F> 53 static auto integrate(F f, Real a, Real b, Real* pL1 = nullptr)->decltype(std::declval<F>()(std::declval<Real>())) 54 55Integrates /f/ over (a,b), and optionally sets `*pL1` to the L1 norm of the returned value: if this is substantially larger 56than the return value, then the sum was ill-conditioned. Note however, that no error estimate is available. This function 57supports both finite and infinite /a/ and /b/, as long as `a < b`. 58 59The Gaussian quadrature routine support both real and complex-valued quadrature. 60For example, the Lambert-W function admits the integral representation 61 62[expression ['W(z) = 1/2\u03A0 \u222B[sub -\u03A0][super \u03A0] ((1- v cot(v) )^2 + v^2)/(z + v csc(v) exp(-v cot(v))) dv]] 63 64so it can be effectively computed via Gaussian quadrature using the following code: 65 66 Complex z{2, 3}; 67 auto lw = [&z](Real v)->Complex { 68 using std::cos; 69 using std::sin; 70 using std::exp; 71 Real sinv = sin(v); 72 Real cosv = cos(v); 73 74 Real cotv = cosv/sinv; 75 Real cscv = 1/sinv; 76 Real t = (1-v*cotv)*(1-v*cotv) + v*v; 77 Real x = v*cscv*exp(-v*cotv); 78 Complex den = z + x; 79 Complex num = t*(z/pi<Real>()); 80 Complex res = num/den; 81 return res; 82 }; 83 84 boost::math::quadrature::gauss<Real, 30> integrator; 85 Complex W = integrator.integrate(lw, (Real) 0, pi<Real>()); 86 87 88[heading Choosing the number of points] 89 90Internally class `gauss` has pre-computed tables of abscissa and weights for 7, 15, 20, 25 and 30 points at up to 100-decimal 91digit precision. That means that using for example, `gauss<double, 30>::integrate` incurs absolutely zero set-up overhead from 92computing the abscissa/weight pairs. When using multiprecision types with less than 100 digits of precision, then there is a small 93initial one time cost, while the abscissa/weight pairs are constructed from strings. 94 95However, for types with higher precision, or numbers of points other than those given above, the abscissa/weight pairs are computed 96when first needed and then cached for future use, which does incur a noticeable overhead. If this is likely to be an issue, then 97 98* Defining BOOST_MATH_GAUSS_NO_COMPUTE_ON_DEMAND will result in a compile-time error, whenever a combination of number type 99and number of points is used which does not have pre-computed values. 100* There is a program [@../../tools/gauss_kronrod_constants.cpp gauss_kronrod_constants.cpp] which was used to provide the 101pre-computed values already in gauss.hpp. The program can be trivially modified to generate code and constants for other precisions 102and numbers of points. 103 104[heading Examples] 105 106[import ../../example/gauss_example.cpp] 107 108[gauss_example] 109 110[endsect] [/section:gauss Gauss-Legendre quadrature] 111 112
