How to speed up integration of interpolation function?


I have a list of data, and I interpolate it to a function. Then I need to do an integration with the interpolating function. But I found that the speed is unacceptably slow.


My data is here (a little long, but don't go away :) ):

Interpolate it:


f = Interpolation[data];
Plot[f[x], {x, 1, 200}, PlotRange -> All]

It looks like:


interpolating function plot


Now I define a function:



Clear[b];
b[x_, y_] := NIntegrate[
   Cross[{0, f[s], 0}, {x - s, 0, y}][[{1, 3}]]/((x - s)^2 + y^2),
   {s, 1, 200}
];

The integration is so slow!!


b[1., 2.] // AbsoluteTiming

(*{1.17772, {-0.00827965, -0.0104805}}*)


What I want to do is a vector plot:


VectorPlot[b[x, y], {x, -10, 210}, {y, -3, 3}]

But with this kind of slow integration, this is painful. Are there better ways to speed up the integration?



Answer



The way to deal with this is to use the special setting Method -> "InterpolationPointsSubdivision" of NIntegrate[], which will automagically split the integrand so that an integration rule (by default, "GlobalAdaptive") is only applied within each piecewise polynomial interval of the InterpolatingFunction[] involved. This is akin to the functionality of the old package NumericalMath`NIntegrateInterpolatingFunct`​.


As a demonstration:


With[{x = 5, y = 5}, 
     NIntegrate[Cross[{0, f[s], 0}, {x - s, 0, y}][[{1, 3}]]/((x - s)^2 + y^2),

                {s, 1, 200}]] // AbsoluteTiming
   {0.619479, {-0.00929476, -0.00291246}}

With[{x = 5, y = 5}, 
     NIntegrate[Cross[{0, f[s], 0}, {x - s, 0, y}][[{1, 3}]]/((x - s)^2 + y^2),
                {s, 1, 200}, Method -> "InterpolationPointsSubdivision"]] // AbsoluteTiming
   {0.0798281, {-0.00929476, -0.00291246}}

Options[NIntegrate`InterpolationPointsSubdivision] displays the suboptions that can be fed to this method.

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-...
