6 dimensional integral with INT_3D? [message #60204] Mon, 05 May 2008 06:38 Go to next message

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible to use INT_3D to perform a six-
dimensional integral. The function I am looking at is of the form
exp(f(x,y,z,t,x1,y1)). The limits are constants, not functions.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Sid

Thanks, Kenneth.

I have tried Mathematica and maple - Mathematica cannot do this
integral, not even a 4-d version of it! Maple takes very long and
quits...

I take it there REALLY is no way to extend the capability of INT_3D to
make it do a 6D integral?

Sorry to be such a bother!

Best,

Sid
