Hello,
I apologize if this is the wrong place. I’m currently working with the integration utilities
of GSL and I’d like some help about this particular point.
I’m not sure the function defined in the file integration/qpsrt2.c and invoked, for example,
at line 418 of integration/qags.c is doing what it should, according to the original
algorithm, nor according to the comment
/* test whether the interval to be bisected next is the
smallest interval. */
at line 415 of qags.c.
In the QUADPACK version (http://www.netlib.org/quadpack/dqagse.f), at line 360 we can
see the actual test being performed
if(dabs(blist(maxerr)-alist(maxerr)).gt.small) go to 90
I think the refining loop may fail at some point, since the loop won’t cycle when the test
evaluates to true.
I don’t have a buggy case to report but it seems to me that it isn’t right.
Thank you for any help,
Seneika.
