numerical integration methods question python












1















I am trying to integrate the following formula:



enter image description here



Below is my attempt to perform this integration using a homemade scheme for f(a) = sin(a).



def func(x):
return math.sin(x)

def integration (f, n, r, a, dtheta ):

summation = 0
theta = 0
while theta <= 2*np.pi:

f_arg = a + r*np.exp(1j*theta)
second = np.exp(-1j*theta*n)

summation += f(f_arg) * second * dtheta
theta += dtheta

return math.factorial(n)*summation / (2*np.pi*r**n)

integration(func, n=1, r=1, a=0, dtheta=2*np.pi/10000)


The first derivative (n=1) of f(a) = sin(a) is f'(a) = cos(a). When evaluated at a = 0, this should give cos(0) = 1, however, it does not. Where am I going wrong?

  • return math.factorial(n) / (2*np.pi*r**n) doesn't seem to involve f, theta, dtheta, or anything you did in the while loop.

It seems that your problem is the math.sin function, which doesn't support complex arguments:



i = np.exp(.5j * np.pi)
math.sin(i), np.sin(i)
(6.123233995736766e-17, (9.44864380126377e-17+1.1752011936438014j))


It also throws a warning (but not an error...):



ComplexWarning: Casting complex values to real discards the imaginary part


Using np.sin instead fixes the problem.



In general, the implementation might be simpler to express (and easier to debug) with more use of numpy, like



def integration(func, a, n, r, n_steps):
z = r * np.exp(2j * np.pi * np.arange(0, 1, 1. / n_steps))
return math.factorial(n) * np.mean(func(a + z) / z**n)

np.allclose(1., integration(np.sin, a=0., n=1, r=1., n_steps=100))

True

    Replacing math.sin with np.sin isn't enough to produce a result of 1 when I try it.

    @user2357112 in the original example there is also n=2 used instead of n=1 in the function call. If you change this it is OK. Have edited question.
