/** * @file * @brief A numerical method for easy [approximation of * integrals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_method) * @details The idea is to split the interval into N of intervals and use as * interpolation points the xi for which it applies that xi = x0 + i*h, where h * is a step defined as h = (b-a)/N where a and b are the first and last points * of the interval of the integration [a, b]. * * We create a table of the xi and their corresponding f(xi) values and we * evaluate the integral by the formula: I = h * {f(x0+h/2) + f(x1+h/2) + ... + * f(xN-1+h/2)} * * Arguments can be passed as parameters from the command line argv[1] = N, * argv[2] = a, argv[3] = b. In this case if the default values N=16, a=1, b=3 * are changed then the tests/assert are disabled. * * * @author [ggkogkou](https://github.com/ggkogkou) */ #include /// for assert #include /// for math functions #include /// for integer allocation #include /// for std::atof #include /// for std::function #include /// for IO operations #include /// for std::map container /** * @namespace numerical_methods * @brief Numerical algorithms/methods */ namespace numerical_methods { /** * @namespace midpoint_rule * @brief Functions for the [Midpoint * Integral](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_method) method * implementation */ namespace midpoint_rule { /** * @fn double midpoint(const std::int32_t N, const double h, const double a, * const std::function& func) * @brief Main function for implementing the Midpoint Integral Method * implementation * @param N is the number of intervals * @param h is the step * @param a is x0 * @param func is the function that will be integrated * @returns the result of the integration */ double midpoint(const std::int32_t N, const double h, const double a, const std::function& func) { std::map data_table; // Contains the data points, key: i, value: f(xi) double xi = a; // Initialize xi to the starting point x0 = a // Create the data table // Loop from x0 to xN-1 double temp = NAN; for (std::int32_t i = 0; i < N; i++) { temp = func(xi + h / 2); // find f(xi+h/2) data_table.insert( std::pair(i, temp)); // add i and f(xi) xi += h; // Get the next point xi for the next iteration } // Evaluate the integral. // Remember: {f(x0+h/2) + f(x1+h/2) + ... + f(xN-1+h/2)} double evaluate_integral = 0; for (std::int32_t i = 0; i < N; i++) evaluate_integral += data_table.at(i); // Multiply by the coefficient h evaluate_integral *= h; // If the result calculated is nan, then the user has given wrong input // interval. assert(!std::isnan(evaluate_integral) && "The definite integral can't be evaluated.
