1 Numerical Integration Lecture (II)1
Chapter 8 Numerical Integration Lecture (II)1 1 Ref.: “Applied Numerical Methods with MATLAB for Engineers and Scientists”, Steven Chapra, 2nd ed., Ch. 17, McGraw Hill, 2008. Dr. Jie Zou PHY3320

2 Outline Newton-cotes formulas Integration with unequal segments
(2) Simpson’s 1/3 rule The single and composite applications of Simpson’s 1/3 rule Integration with unequal segments Example: By hand and Implementation in MATLAB Dr. Jie Zou PHY3320

3 Simpson’s rules: in general
General Simpson’s rules: To use higher-order polynomials to connect the points; the formulas that result from taking the integrals under these polynomials are called Simpson’s rules. Trapezoidal rule Simpson’s rules Dr. Jie Zou PHY3320

4 Simpson’s 1/3 rule Translate the y axis Simpson’ 1/3 rule: It corresponds to using second-order polynomials. Derivation of the formula: Translate the y axis Using the Lagrange form for a quadratic fit of three points, (-h, f(x0)), (0, f(x1)), (h, f(x2)): Integration over the interval [-h, h]: y’ x’ -h O’ h h h = (b – a)/2 Ref. Fig (a) Simpson’s 1/3 rule consists of taking the area under a parabola connecting three points.

5 Error of the Simpson’s 1/3 rule
For a single application of the Simpson’s 1/3 rule:  lies somewhere in the interval from a to b. The error is proportional to h5(rather than h3 for the trapezoidal rule); Simpson’s 1/3 rule is more accurate than the trapezoidal rule. The error is proportional to the fourth-derivative of the actual function; if f(x) is a cubic polynomial, Et = 0. Dr. Jie Zou PHY3320

6 Example: Single application of Simpson’s 1/3 rule
Ref. Example 17.3: Use Simpson’s 1/3 rule to integrate f(x) = x – 200x x3 – 900x x5 from a = 0 to b = 0.8. Also, find the error Et and t. Compare the result with that found using the Trapezoidal rule (Itrue = ). By hand. Results: t = 16.6% for the Simpson’s 1/3 rule; t = 89.5% for the Trapezoidal rule. The Simpson’s 1/3 rule (single) Dr. Jie Zou PHY3320 The Trapezoidal rule (single)

7 The composite Simpson’s 1/3 rule
Simpson’s rule can be improved by dividing the integration interval into a number of segments of equal width. Note: The number of segments has to be even. h = step size = (b-a)/n; n = the number of segments. Ref. Fig Composite Simpson’s 1/3 rule

8 Error of the composite Simpson’s 1/3 rule
For a composite application of the Simpson’s 1/3 rule: The error is proportional to 1/n4 (rather than 1/n2 for the composite trapezoidal rule). The average f(4)(x) for the interval:

9 Example: Composite application of the Simpson’s 1/3 rule
Example 17.4 (Ref.): Use the Composite Simpson’s 1/3 rule with n = 4 to estimate the integral of f(x) = x – 200x x3 – 900x x5 from a = 0 to b = 0.8. Also, find the error Et and t (Itrue = ). By hand. Results: t = 1.04% for the Composite Simpson’s 1/3 rule. n = 4; h = 0.2 Dr. Jie Zou PHY3320

10 Integration with unequal segments
In practice, the data points may be unequally spaced. For example, experimentally obtained data. Numerical integration: One method is to apply the trapezoidal rule to each segment and sum the results: hi = the width (step size) of segment i. Dr. Jie Zou PHY3320

11 Example: Integration with unequal segments
Example 17.6 (Ref.): Determine the integral for the data given in the Table below. Write an M-file, Int_Unequal_Segments.m. (Itrue = ). Dr. Jie Zou PHY3320
