TOMS453
Gaussian Quadrature Formulas for Bromwich's Integral


TOMS453 is a FORTRAN90 library which implements ACM TOMS algorithm 453, which computes the abscissas and weights of a Gaussian quadrature formula of given order for Bromwich's integral.

The Bromwich integral is the inverse of the Laplace transform.

While the text of many ACM TOMS algorithms is available online through ACM: http://www.acm.org/pubs/calgo or NETLIB: http://www.netlib.org/toms/index.html, most of the early algorithms are not available. This is one of them. I typed it in.

Usage:


        call bromin ( n, s, tol, xr, xi, wr, wi, eps, ier )
      
N
the order of the rule;
S
the parameter in the integral;
TOL
an error tolerance;
XR, XI
the real and imaginary parts of the abscissas;
WR, WI
the real and imaginary parts of the weights;
EPS
the relatve accuracy estimate;
IER
the error flag.

Languages:

TOMS453 is available in a FORTRAN90 version.
