programming - Calculating an integral by the Romberg Algorithm



In my "Numerical Analysis" course, I learned the Romberg Algorithm to numerically calculate the integral.


The Romberg Algorithm as shown below:



tableau



$$T_{2n}(f)+\frac{1}{4^1-1}[T_{2n}(f)-T_{n}(f)]=S_n(f) \\ S_{2n}(f)+\frac{1}{4^2-1}[S_{2n}(f)-S_{n}(f)]=C_n(f) \\ C_{2n}(f)+\frac{1}{4^3-1}[C_{2n}(f)-C_{n}(f)]=R_n(f)$$


where $$T_n=\frac{h}{2}\left[ f(a)+ 2\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}f(x_i) +f(b)\right]$$ and $h=\frac{b-a}{n}$.


My code:


 trapezium[func_, n_, {a_, b_}] :=
With[{h = (b - a)/n},

1/2 h (func@a + 2 Sum[func[a + i h], {i, 1, n - 1}] + func@b)
]

rombergCalc[func_,iter_, {a_, b_}] :=
Module[{m = 1},
Nest[
MovingAverage[#, {-1,4^(m++)}] &,
Table[trapezium[func, 2^i, {a, b}], {i, 0., iter}], 3]
]


The calculation process comes from my textbook

Test


 rombergCalc[Exp, 5, {0, 1}]//InputForm


 {1.7182818287945305, 1.7182818284603885, 1.7182818284590502}

My Question update




  • In function rombergCalc, I utilized the usage m++ that I believe is not suitable in Mathematica Programming. Is there any other method to replace m++ or implement Romberg Algorithm?


- Why Block[{$MinPrecision = precision, $MaxPrecision = precision}..] cannot give the result that contain significance digit that I gave(seeing the graphic of textbook)?


(Thanks for @xzczd's solution for dealing with precision problem)


N[{a, b}, precision]

and replace


trapezium[func, 2^i, {a, b}], {i, 0., iter}]  


with


trapezium[func, 2^i, {a, b}], {i, 0, iter}]

- Except for SetOptions[SelectedNotebook[], PrintPrecision -> 16] or InputForm, is there other solutions to set precision conveniently?



Answer



Nice to meet you, Mr. Shu.


Bug fix first. Your function doesn't work under desired precision because:



Table[trapezium[func, 2^i, {a, b}], {i, **0.**, iter}]


Changing it to


Table[trapezium[func, 2^i, {a, b}], {i, 0, iter}]

still doesn't fix the problem, because all the numbers taking part in the calculation have infinite precision. Adding an


N[…, precision]

somewhere still doesn't fix the problem, because your utilization of m++ is not only unsuitable, but also wrong. Try changing your m++ into (Print[i = m++]; i) and see what will happen.


Fixed code:


trapezium[func_, n_, {a_, b_}] := 
With[{h = (b - a)/n},

1/2 h (func@a + 2 Sum[func[a + i h], {i, 1, n - 1}] + func@b)]

rombergCalc[func_, iter_, {a_, b_}, precision_] :=
Block[{$MinPrecision = precision, $MaxPrecision = precision},
Module[{m = 1},
NestList[
With[{n = 4^(m++)},
Flatten@(MovingAverage[#, {-1, n}] & /@ Partition[#, 2, 1])] &,
Table[trapezium[func, 2^(i - 1), N[{a, b}, precision]], {i,
iter}], 3]]]


It's so ugly now that I'd like to turn to:


trapezium[func_, n_, {a_, b_}] := 
With[{h = (b - a)/n},
Module[{f = Function[x, func@x, Listable]}, h (Total@f@Range[a, b, h] - 1/2 (f@a + f@b))]]

rombergCalc[func_, iter_, {a_, b_}, precision_] :=
FoldList[Rest@# + 1/(4^#2 - 1) Differences@# &,
trapezium[func, 2^(# - 1), N[{a, b}, precision]] & /@ Range@iter, Range@3]


Finally "visualize" the result:


TableForm[Flatten[rombergCalc[Exp, 6, {0, 1}, 13], {{2}, {1}}], 
TableHeadings -> {2^Range[0, 5],
{"\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(T\), \(n\)]\)",
"\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(S\), \(n\)]\)",
"\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(C\), \(n\)]\)",
"\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(R\), \(n\)]\)"}}, TableAlignments -> Center]

For completeness, here's a compiled version of the function above. Notice that it only speeds up Listable compilable internal functions or pure functions formed by Listable compilable internal function.


trapezium[f_, n_, {a_, b_}] := 
With[{h = (b - a)/n},
h (Total[f@Range[a, b, h]] - 1/2 (f@a + f@b))]

compiledrombergCalc[f_, {a_, b_}] :=
ReleaseHold[
Hold@Compile[{{i, _Integer}},
Fold[Rest@# + 1/(4^#2 - 1) Differences@# &,
trapezium[f, 2^(# - 1), {a, b}] & /@ Range@i, Range@3]] /.

DownValues@trapezium]

g = Exp[#] &
NumberForm[compiledrombergCalc[g, {0, 1}][18], 13] // AbsoluteTiming

enter image description here


It's a 23X speedup compared to the uncompiled version.


Also notice that inside the compiled function, the calculation is under MachinePrecision so the Precision of the result is also MachinePrecision, though its appearance is changed by NumberForm. However, I think this treatment may be closer to what your text book has done: as said in the comment below, significance arithmetic is the secret recipe of Mathematica anyway.

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...
