Using quadpy

Quadpy provides integration schemes for many different 1D, 2D, even nD domains.

To start off easy: If you'd numerically integrate any function over any given 1D interval, do

import numpy as np
import quadpy


def f(x):
    return np.sin(x) - x


val, err = quadpy.quad(f, 0.0, 6.0)

This is like scipy with the addition that quadpy handles complex-, vector-, matrix-valued integrands, and "intervals" in spaces of arbitrary dimension.

To integrate over a triangle, do

import numpy as np
import quadpy


def f(x):
    return np.sin(x[0]) * np.sin(x[1])


triangle = np.array([[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [0.7, 0.5]])

# get a "good" scheme of degree 10
scheme = quadpy.t2.get_good_scheme(10)
val = scheme.integrate(f, triangle)

Most domains have get_good_scheme(degree). If you would like to use a particular scheme, you can pick one from the dictionary quadpy.t2.schemes.

All schemes have

scheme.points
scheme.weights
scheme.degree
scheme.source
scheme.test_tolerance

scheme.show()
scheme.integrate(
    # ...
)

and many have

scheme.points_symbolic
scheme.weights_symbolic

You can explore schemes on the command line with, e.g.,

quadpy info s2 rabinowitz_richter_3
<quadrature scheme for S2>
  name:                 Rabinowitz-Richter 2
  source:               Perfectly Symmetric Two-Dimensional Integration Formulas with Minimal Numbers of Points
                        Philip Rabinowitz, Nira Richter
                        Mathematics of Computation, vol. 23, no. 108, pp. 765-779, 1969
                        https://doi.org/10.1090/S0025-5718-1969-0258281-4
  degree:               9
  num points/weights:   21
  max/min weight ratio: 7.632e+01
  test tolerance:       9.417e-15
  point position:       outside
  all weights positive: True

Also try quadpy show!

quadpy is fully vectorized, so if you like to compute the integral of a function on many domains at once, you can provide them all in one integrate() call, e.g.,

# shape (3, 5, 2), i.e., (corners, num_triangles, xy_coords)
triangles = np.stack(
    [
        [[0.0, 0.0], [1.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0]],
        [[1.2, 0.6], [1.3, 0.7], [1.4, 0.8]],
        [[26.0, 31.0], [24.0, 27.0], [33.0, 28]],
        [[0.1, 0.3], [0.4, 0.4], [0.7, 0.1]],
        [[8.6, 6.0], [9.4, 5.6], [7.5, 7.4]],
    ],
    axis=-2,
)

The same goes for functions with vectorized output, e.g.,

def f(x):
    return [np.sin(x[0]), np.sin(x[1])]
