Description

With existing numerical integration methods and algorithms it is difficult in general to obtain accurate approximations to integrals of the form Z 1 0 f .x/ sin  ! xr  dx or Z 1 0 f .x/ cos  ! xr  dx; .r > 0/ where f is a sufficiently smooth function on [0, 1]. Gautschi has developed software (as scripts in Matlab) for computing these integrals for the special case r D ! D 1. In this paper, an algorithm (as a Mathematica program) is developed for computing these integrals to arbitrary precision for any given values of the parameters in a certain range. Numerical examples are given of testing the performance of the algorithm/program.
