- I'm having to evaluate this integral:
-
- /\ 0.5
- / N
- / f(x) D (2 pi x + phi) dx
- /
- \/ -0.5
-
- N
- for N ~ 500 and where D (x) is the N-point Dirichlet kernel:
-
-
- iNx
- N e - 1
- D (x) = --------, i = sqrt(-1) (highly oscilatory for large N)
- ix
- e - 1
-
- I'm successfully using a 2000-point Simpson integration, but I cannot
- begin to evaluate all the needed cases (limited by computer resources).
-
- Could you suggest a change of variable or another technique which
- would dramatically improve the integration speed?
-
- Thanks, Jack Sharer, Penn State, j0s@psuvm.psu.edu
