# intgrat3¶

## Purpose¶

Integrates the following triple integral, using user-defined functions and scalars for bounds:

$\int_{a}^{b}\int_{g_2(x)}^{g_1(x)} \int_{gh_2(x, y)}^{h_1(x, y)}f(x, y, z)\:dz\:dy\:dx$

## Format¶

y = intgrat3(&f, xl, gl, hl)
Parameters
• &f (scalar) – pointer to the procedure containing the function to be integrated. f is a function of (x, y, z).

• xl (2x1 or 2xN matrix) – the limits of x. These must be scalar limits.

• gl (2x1 or 2xN matrix) – function pointers. These procedures are functions of x.

• hl (2x1 or 2xN matrix) – function pointers. These procedures are functions of x and y.

Returns

y (Nx1 vector) – estimated integral(s) of $$f(x, y, z)$$ evaluated between the limits given by xl, gl and hl.

## Global Input¶

 _intord scalar, the order of the integration. The larger _intord, the more precise the final result will be. _intord may be set to 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40. Default = 12.

## Examples¶

// Function to be integrated
proc f(x, y, z);
retp(2);
endp;

/*
** Function of x
** to be integrated
*/
proc g1(x);
retp(sqrt(25 - x^2));
endp;

/*
** Function of x
** to be integrated
*/
proc g2(x);
retp(-g1(x));
endp;

/*
** Function of x and y
** to be integrated
*/
proc h1(x, y);
retp(sqrt(25 - x^2 - y^2));
endp;

/*
** Function of x and y
** to be integrated
*/
proc h2(x, y);
retp(-h1(x, y));
endp;

// Limits of x
xl = 5|-5;

// Create pointer vectors
g0 = &g1|&g2;
h0 = &h1|&h2;

// The order of the integration
_intord = 40;

// Find integral
y = intgrat3(&f, xl, g0, h0);


This will integrate the function $$f(x, y, z)$$ over the sphere of radius 5. The result will be approximately twice the volume of a sphere of radius 5.

## Remarks¶

User-defined functions f, and those used in gl and hl must either:

1. Return a scalar constant

- or -

2. Return a vector of function values. intgrat3() will pass to user-defined functions a vector or matrix for x and y and expect a vector or matrix to be returned. Use .* and ./ operators instead of just * and /.
