Dear all,
I'm new to this newsgroup so first of all, hello everybody!
The problem i encountered is the following:
I tried to use
qsimp and qromb to integrate a couple of functions (scattering
problems, nothing special) but the system crashes..
I tried to integrate cos(x) between 0 and pi (the result is obviously
zero)
and these functions give out some kind of error message but not the
result..
so i turned to write the code myself as i used to do when i was an
undrgraduate student using old riemann sums and old fortran, but as
this approach is a bit time-consuming i have one question:
is there any trick I can use or these functions only sometimes work?
(for example if you integrate sin(x) on the same interval as above
they give out
the right result.
Personally I can't believe the problem is in the algorithm (Simpson
rule works, Romberg method I don't know it)...
thanks very much indeed for your help
bye
michael

Are you using LA_EIGENQL or the older EIGENQL? LA_EIGENQL is based on
LAPACK and should be quite robust.
