FUNCTION TSUM,X,Y,IMIN,IMAX ;Trapezoidal summation ;+ ; NAME: ; TSUM ; PURPOSE: ; Trapezoidal summation of the area under a curve. ; EXPLANATION: ; Adapted from the procedure INTEG in the IUE procedure library. ; ; CALLING SEQUENCE: ; Result = TSUM(y) ; or ; Result = TSUM( x, y, [ imin, imax ] ) ; INPUTS: ; x = array containing monotonic independent variable. If omitted, then ; x is assumed to contain the index of the y variable. ; x = lindgen( N_elements(y) ). ; y = array containing dependent variable y = f(x) ; ; OPTIONAL INPUTS: ; imin = scalar index of x array at which to begin the integration ; If omitted, then summation starts at x[0]. ; imax = scalar index of x value at which to end the integration ; If omitted then the integration ends at x[npts-1]. ; ; OUTPUTS: ; result = area under the curve y=f(x) between x[imin] and x[imax]. ; ; EXAMPLE: ; IDL> x = [0.0,0.1,0.14,0.3] ; IDL> y = sin(x) ; IDL> print,tsum(x,y) ===> 0.0445843 ; ; In this example, the exact curve can be computed analytically as ; 1.0 - cos(0.3) = 0.0446635 ; PROCEDURE: ; The area is determined of individual trapezoids defined by x[i], ; x[i+1], y[i] and y[i+1]. ; ; If the data is known to be at all smooth, then a more accurate ; integration can be found by interpolation prior to the trapezoidal ; sums, for example, by the standard IDL User Library int_tabulated.pro. ; MODIFICATION HISTORY: ; Written, W.B. Landsman, STI Corp. May 1986 ; Modified so X is not altered in a one parameter call Jan 1990 ; Converted to IDL V5.0 W. Landsman September 1997 ; Allow non-integer values of imin and imax W. Landsman April 2001 ; Fix problem if only 1 parameter supplied W. Landsman June 2002 ;- ; Set default parameters On_error,2 npar = N_params() if npar EQ 1 then begin npts = N_elements(x) yy = x xx = lindgen(npts) ilo = 0 & imin = ilo ihi = npts-1 & imax = ihi endif else begin if ( npar LT 3 ) then imin = 0 npts = min( [N_elements(x), N_elements(y)] ) if ( npar LT 4 ) then imax = npts-1 ilo = long(imin) ihi = long(imax) xx = x[ilo:ihi] yy = y[ilo:ihi] npts = ihi - ilo + 1 endelse ; ; Compute areas of trapezoids and sum result ; xdif = xx[1:*] - xx yavg = ( yy[0:npts-2] + yy[1:npts-1] ) / 2. sum = total( xdif*yavg ) ; Now account for edge effects if IMIN or IMAX parameter are not integers hi = imax - ihi lo = imin - ilo if (ihi LT imax) then sum = sum + (x[ihi+1]-x[ihi])*hi* $ (y[ihi] + (hi/2.) *(y[ihi+1] - y[ihi]) ) if (ilo LT imin) then sum = sum - (x[ilo+1]-x[ilo])*lo* $ (y[ilo] + (lo/2.) *(y[ilo+1] - y[ilo]) ) return, sum end
