Class TrapezoidIntegratorSampler

  org.spaceroots.mantissa.quadrature.vectorial.TrapezoidIntegratorSampler

All Implemented Interfaces:

SampledFunctionIterator

public class TrapezoidIntegratorSampler

extends Object

implements SampledFunctionIterator

This class implements a trapezoid integrator as a sample.

A trapezoid integrator is a very simple one that assumes the function is constant over the integration step. Since it is very simple, this algorithm needs very small steps to achieve high accuracy, and small steps lead to numerical errors and instabilities.

This algorithm is almost never used and has been included in this package only as a simple template for more useful integrators.

Constructor. Build an integrator from an underlying sample iterator.

Parameters:

iter - iterator over the base function

Method Detail

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Check if the iterator can provide another point.

Specified by:

hasNext in interface SampledFunctionIterator

Returns:

true if the iterator can provide another point.

getDimension

public int getDimension()

Description copied from interface: SampledFunctionIterator

Get the dimension of the vectorial values of the function.

Specified by:

getDimension in interface SampledFunctionIterator

Returns:

dimension

nextSamplePoint

public VectorialValuedPair nextSamplePoint()
                                    throws ExhaustedSampleException,
                                           FunctionException

Description copied from interface: SampledFunctionIterator

Get the next point of a sampled function.

Specified by:

nextSamplePoint in interface SampledFunctionIterator

Returns:

the next point of the sampled function

Throws:

ExhaustedSampleException - if the sample has been exhausted

FunctionException - if the underlying function throws one
