What is Cubature?

It is a numerical integration technique. From MathWorld http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Cubature.html, Ueberhuber (1997, p. 71) and Krommer and Ueberhuber (1998, pp. 49 and 155-165) use the word "quadrature" to mean numerical computation of a univariate integral, and "cubature" to mean numerical computation of a multiple integral.

Cubature for Python

This is a wrapper to Prof. Steven Johnson's C package, available at https://github.com/stevengj/cubature. The current version is a wrapper to version 1.0.4 of Prof. Johnson's package.

Python wrapper for the Cubature package

From the Nanostructures and Computation Wiki at MIT http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Cubature, Steven W. Johnson http://math.mit.edu/~stevenj has written a simple C package for adaptive multidimensional integration (cubature) of vector-valued functions over hypercubes and this is a Python wrapper for the referred C package.

Installation from source code

You must have Cython installed. Then do:

python setup.py install 

or (usually in Linux):

python3 setup.py install

Installation from pip repository

Just do:

python -m pip install cubature

or (usually in Linux):

python3 -m pip install cubature

Running the tests

To run the tests you will have to download the source code. After installing as explained above, go to the source code root folder and run:

py.test .

The Python wrapper has been proven using test integrands from the C package and some additional testing functions from Genz. The integrands were implemented in Cython and verified with Mathematica.
