# == {}[link:index.html"name="1] Introduction
# This section describes how to compute numerical integration of a function 
# in one dimension. In Ruby/GSL, all the GSL routines for numerical integration 
# is provided as methods of {GSL::Function}[link:files/rdoc/function_rdoc.html] objects.
# For example, a <tt>GSL::Function</tt> object which represents the sine function 
# <tt>sin(x)</tt> can be expressed as
#   f = GSL::Function.alloc { |x| sin(x) }
# To compute numerical integration of <tt>sin(x)</tt> over the range <tt>(a, b)</tt>, 
# one can use the methods <tt>integrate_xxx</tt> or simply <tt>xxx</tt>, as
# * <tt>f.integrate_xxx([a, b])</tt>, or <tt>f.xxx([a, b])</tt>
# * <tt>f.integrate_xxx(a, b)</tt>, or <tt>f.xxx(a, b)</tt>
#
# == {}[link:index.html"name="2] QNG non-adaptive Gauss-Kronrod integration
# ---
# * GSL::Function#integration_qng([a, b], [epsabs = 0.0, epsrel = 1e-10])
# * GSL::Function#qng(...)
# * GSL::Integration::qng(...)
#
#   These methods apply the Gauss-Kronrod integration rules in succession until 
#   an estimate of the integral of the reciever function (a <tt>GSL::Function</tt> 
#   object) over <tt>(a,b)</tt> is achieved within the desired absolute and relative 
#   error limits, <tt>epsabs</tt> and <tt>epsrel</tt> (these are optional, the default
#   values are 0,0 and 1e-10 respectively). These methods return an array of
#   four elements <tt>[result, err, neval, status]</tt>, those are the final 
#   approximation 
#   of the integration, an estimate of the absolute error, the number of function 
#   evaluation, and the status which is returned by the GSL 
#   <tt>integration_qng()</tt> function.
#
#   * Ex: Integrate sin(x) over <tt>x = 0 -- 2</tt> with accuracies <tt>epsabs = 0, epsrel = 1.0e-7</tt>.
#
#       require 'gsl'
#
#       f = GSL::Function.alloc { |x| sin(x) }
#       ans = f.integration_qng([0, 2], [0, 1.0e-7])   # or shortly f.qng(...)
#       p ans[0]   <- result
#
#   For all the methods described in this section, the arguments <tt>[epsabs, epsrel]</tt> are optional, and the default values are <tt>[epsabs = 0.0, epsrel = 1e-10]</tt>.
#
# == {}[link:index.html"name="3] QAG adaptive integration
# The QAG algorithm is a simple adaptive integration procedure. 
# The integration region is divided into subintervals, and on each iteration 
# the subinterval with the largest estimated error is bisected. 
# This reduces the overall error rapidly, as the subintervals become concentrated
# around local difficulties in the integrand. These subintervals are managed by 
# a GSL::Integration::Workspace object, which handles the memory for the 
# subinterval ranges, results and error estimates.
#
# === {}[link:index.html"name="3.1] GSL::Integration::Workspace class
# ---
# * GSL::Integration::Workspace.alloc(n = 1000)
#
#   This creates a workspace sufficient to hold n double precision intervals, 
#   their integration results and error estimates.
#
# ---
# * GSL::Integration::Workspace#limit
# * GSL::Integration::Workspace#size
#
#
# ==== {}[link:index.html"name="3.1.1] Algorithms which require the workspace
# The algorithms described below require <tt>gsl_integration_workspace</tt> struct
# in C. In Ruby/GSL, the corresponding methods require 
# a <tt>GSL::Integration::Workspace</tt> object in their arguments. But it is also
# possible to use these methods without workspace arguments: if it 
# is not given, a workspace is created/destroyed internally. Thus
# method calls are as
#
#           f = GSL::Function.alloc { |x| Math::sin(x)/x }
#           p f.qag([a, b])
#
# or
#           w = GSL::Integration::Workspace.alloc(limit)
#           p f.qag([a, b], w)
#
# Explicit uses of a <tt>Workspace</tt> object reduce C function calls for memory 
# allocations of workspace objects. 
#
# === {}[link:index.html"name="3.2] Methods

# * GSL::Function#integration_qag([a, b], key = GSL::Integration::GAUSS61)
# * GSL::Function#integration_qag([a, b], key, w)
# * GSL::Function#integration_qag([a, b], w)
# * GSL::Function#integration_qag([a, b], [epsabs, epsrel], key)
# * GSL::Function#integration_qag([a, b], [epsabs, epsrel], key, w)
# * GSL::Function#qag(...)
# * GSL::Integration::qag(...)
#
#   These methods apply an integration rule adaptively until an estimate of the 
#   integral of the reciever function over <tt>(a,b)</tt> is achieved within the 
#   desired absolute and relative error limits, <tt>epsabs</tt> and <tt>epsrel</tt>.
#   One can give a <tt>GSL::Integration::Workspace</tt> object <tt>w</tt> with the
#   last argument (option: if not given, the workspace is internally allocated and
#   freed). The method returns an array with four elements 
#   <tt>[result, err, neval, status]</tt>. 
#   The integration rule is determined by the value of key, which should be 
#   chosen from the following symbolic names, 
#
#      GSL::Integration::GAUSS15  (key = 1)
#      GSL::Integration::GAUSS21  (key = 2)
#      GSL::Integration::GAUSS31  (key = 3)
#      GSL::Integration::GAUSS41  (key = 4)
#      GSL::Integration::GAUSS51  (key = 5)
#      GSL::Integration::GAUSS61  (key = 6)
#
#   corresponding to the 15, 21, 31, 41, 51 and 61 point Gauss-Kronrod rules. The 
#   higher-order rules give better accuracy for smooth functions, 
#   while lower-order rules save time when the function contains local 
#   difficulties, such as discontinuities. 
#
# == {}[link:index.html"name="4] QAGS adaptive integration with singularities
# The presence of an integrable singularity in the integration region causes 
# an adaptive routine to concentrate new subintervals around the singularity. 
# As the subintervals decrease in size the successive approximations to the 
# integral converge in a limiting fashion. This approach to the limit can be 
# accelerated using an extrapolation procedure. 
# The QAGS algorithm combines adaptive bisection with the Wynn epsilon-algorithm 
# to speed up the integration of many types of integrable singularities.
#
# ---
# * GSL::Function#integration_qags([a, b], [epsabs = 0.0, epsrel = 1e-10], limit)
# * GSL::Function#integration_qags([a, b], [epsabs, epsrel], limit, w)
# * GSL::Function#integration_qags([a, b], [epsabs, epsrel], w)
# * GSL::Function#qags(...)
# * GSL::Integration::qags(...)
#
#   These methods apply the Gauss-Kronrod 21-point integration rule 
#   adaptively until an estimate of the integral over <tt>(a,b)</tt> is 
#   achieved within the desired absolute and relative error limits, 
#   <tt>epsabs</tt> and <tt>epsrel</tt>. The results are extrapolated using the 
#   epsilon-algorithm, which accelerates the convergence of the integral 
#   in the presence of discontinuities and integrable singularities. 
#   The maximum number of subintervals is given by <tt>limit</tt>.
#
#   * ex:
#
#       proc = Proc.new{ |x, alpha|     # integrant
#         log(alpha*x)/sqrt(x)
#       }
#
#       # create the function, with the parameter alpha = 1.0
#       f = GSL::Function.alloc(proc, 1.0) 
#
#       p f.integration_qags(0, 1)
#
# == {}[link:index.html"name="5] QAGP adaptive integration with known singular points
# ---
# * GSL::Function#integration_qagp(pts, [epsabs = 0.0, epsrel = 1e-10], limit = 1000, w)
# * GSL::Function#qagp(...)
# * GSL::Integration::qagp(...)
#
#   These methods apply the adaptive integration algorithm QAGS taking 
#   account of the user-supplied locations of singular points. The array 
#   <tt>pts</tt> (a Ruby array or a GSL::Vector object) should contain the 
#   endpoints of the integration ranges defined by the integration region a
#   nd locations of the singularities. For example, to integrate over the 
#   region <tt>(a,b)</tt> with break-points at x_1, x_2, x_3 
#   (where a < x_1 < x_2 < x_3 < b) the following <tt>pts</tt> array should be used
#
#         pts[0] = a
#         pts[1] = x_1
#         pts[2] = x_2
#         pts[3] = x_3
#         pts[4] = b
#
#   If you know the locations of the singular points in the integration region then this routine will be faster than QAGS.
#
#   * ex:
#      f454 = Function.alloc{ |x|
#        x2 = x*x
#        x3 = x2*x
#        x3*log(((x2-1)*(x2-2)).abs)
#      }
#      pts = [0, 1, sqrt(2), 3]     # range: [0, 3], singular points: [1, sqrt(2)]
#      p f454.qagp(pts, 0.0, 1e-3)  # <---- [52.7408061167272, 0.000175570384826074, 20, 0]
#                                   # Expect: 61 log(2) + (77/4) log(7) - 27 = 52.7408061167272

# * GSL::Function#qagi(...)
# * GSL::Integration::qagi(...)
#
#   These methods compute the integral of the function over the infinite 
#   interval (-infty,+infty). The integral is mapped onto the interval
#   (0,1] using the transformation x = (1-t)/t. It is then integrated using 
#   the QAGS algorithm. The normal 21-point Gauss-Kronrod rule of QAGS is 
#   replaced by a 15-point rule, because the transformation can generate an 
#   integrable singularity at the origin. In this case a lower-order rule is 
#   more efficient.
#
#   * ex
#       f = Function.alloc{ |x| Math::exp(-x*x) }
#       exact = Math::sqrt(Math::PI)
#
#       result, = f.qagi

#
#   These methods compute the Cauchy principal value of the integral over

#   of QAG is used, with modifications to ensure that subdivisions do not occur 
#   at the singular point <tt>x = c</tt>. When a subinterval contains the point 
#   <tt>x = c</tt> or is close to it then a special 25-point modified

#   the singularity the algorithm uses an ordinary 15-point Gauss-Kronrod 
#   integration rule.
