SIMPLEX_INTEGRALS
Integrals Inside the Unit Simplex in M Dimensions

SIMPLEX_INTEGRALS is a C library which returns the exact value of the integral of any monomial over the interior of the unit simplex in M dimensions.

The interior of the unit simplex in M dimensions is defined by

        0 <= X(1:M)
        sum ( 1 <= I <= M ) X(I) <= 1
      

The integrands are all of the form

        f(x) = product ( 1 <= I <= M) X(I)^E(I)
