NIntegrate: How can I solve this integral numerically? NIntegrate fails while Integrate works












4












$begingroup$


I know the exact solution of the principal value of this integral is equal to zero:



$int_{-1}^{1}int_{-1}^{1}frac{x^2}{sqrt{1-x^2}}frac{sqrt{1-y^2}}{y-x}dydx=0$



doing:



Integrate[x^2/Sqrt[1 - x^2] Sqrt[1 - y^2]/(y - x), {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}, 
PrincipalValue -> True]


but I want to do it numerically and it doesn't work:



NIntegrate[x^2/Sqrt[1 - x^2] Sqrt[1 - y^2]/(y - x), {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}]


This is the error message returned:

    The issue is that the integrand approaches infinity as x->±1, x->y, and y->x. That kind of behavior is toxic to numerical methods: you need to reason out a way to deal with it, not merely probe it numerically. PrincipalValue -> True gives you access to automated reasoning in this case, and you've solved the problem that way. Do you have a different problem you're trying to solve?

The main problem is the point x=y. In principle, it seems that there the integral is singular. If you agree to get the principal value of it, you may exclude this point by a regularization as follows



NIntegrate[
x^2/Sqrt[1 - x^2] Sqrt[1 - y^2]/Sqrt[(y - x)^2 + i^-2], {x, -1 + 1/i,
1 - 1/i}, {y, -1 + 1/i, 1 - 1/i}, Method -> "AdaptiveMonteCarlo"]


where i is a large number. Then you may increase i and check the convergence of the integral:



    lst = Table[{1/i, 
NIntegrate[
x^2/Sqrt[1 - x^2] Sqrt[1 - y^2]/
Sqrt[(y - x)^2 + i^-2], {x, -1 + 1/i, 1 - 1/i}, {y, -1 + 1/i,
1 - 1/i}, Method -> "AdaptiveMonteCarlo"]}, {i, 1000, 100000,
1000}] // N;

ListLogPlot[lst /. {x_, y_} -> {1/x, y}, Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> {Style["Number i", 16], Style["Integral", 16]}]


yielding this



enter image description here



One can further a few other methods which may eventually enable a more accurate estimate of the integral.



Have fun!

As the others say,simply integrate by avoiding singular points?



Fixed.



Try other integral.





target = Compile[{{x, _Real}, {y, _Real}}, 
x/[Sqrt](1 - x) [Sqrt](1 - y^2)/(y - x)];
integrand[x_, y_] := If[Or[(1 - x) == 0, y == x], 0, target[x, y]];
Quiet@NIntegrate[integrand[x, y], {x, -1., 1.}, {y, -1., 1.}]


=>



-4.06259



Integration by manual




.



Plus @@ Flatten@
Table[integrand[x, y]*0.001*0.001, {x, -1., 1., 0.001}, {y, -1., 1.,
0.001}]


=>



-3.99866



Integration by NIntegrate




N@Integrate[
x/Sqrt[1 - x] Sqrt[1 - y^2]/(y - x), {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1},
PrincipalValue -> True]


=>



-4.14669




the question's integral.



target = Compile[{{x, _Real}, {y, _Real}}, 
x^2/[Sqrt](1 - x^2) [Sqrt](1 - y^2)/(y - x)];
integrand[x_, y_] := If[Or[(1 - x^2) == 0, y == x], 0, target[x, y]];
Quiet@NIntegrate[integrand[x, y], {x, -1., 1.}, {y, -1., 1.}]


=>



-0.4542



By manual.




Plus @@ Flatten@
Table[integrand[x, y]*0.1*0.1, {x, -1., 1., 0.1}, {y, -1., 1., 0.1}]


=>



-8.88178*10^-16



By other method.




Quiet@NIntegrate[integrand[x, y], {x, -1., 1.}, {y, -1., 1.}, 
Method -> "LocalAdaptive"]


=>



7.73766*10^-17


For now, we can see that the integral value is close to zero.

    But I can't avoid the singularity $x==y$, because for example if I have $x$ instead of $x^2$ the result of integral is $-pi^2/2$, and with your code the result is always 0.

    So, to solve the original integral what do I have to do?

    Note that $sqrt{(y-x)^2 + epsilon^2}$ approaches $|y - x|$ as $epsilon to 0$, not the $y - x$ that's in the original integrand.

I don't understand what you're plotting. The value of this integral is 0 and your result is around 12.

You are right, it is not the same integral, since I took Sqrt[(x-y)^2+eps^2] instead of x-y.

As the others say,simply integrate by avoiding singular points?



Fixed.



Try other integral.





target = Compile[{{x, _Real}, {y, _Real}}, 
x/[Sqrt](1 - x) [Sqrt](1 - y^2)/(y - x)];
integrand[x_, y_] := If[Or[(1 - x) == 0, y == x], 0, target[x, y]];
Quiet@NIntegrate[integrand[x, y], {x, -1., 1.}, {y, -1., 1.}]


=>



-4.06259



Integration by manual




.



Plus @@ Flatten@
Table[integrand[x, y]*0.001*0.001, {x, -1., 1., 0.001}, {y, -1., 1.,
0.001}]


=>



-3.99866

N@Integrate[
x/Sqrt[1 - x] Sqrt[1 - y^2]/(y - x), {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1},
PrincipalValue -> True]

the question's integral.



target = Compile[{{x, _Real}, {y, _Real}}, 
x^2/[Sqrt](1 - x^2) [Sqrt](1 - y^2)/(y - x)];
integrand[x_, y_] := If[Or[(1 - x^2) == 0, y == x], 0, target[x, y]];
Quiet@NIntegrate[integrand[x, y], {x, -1., 1.}, {y, -1., 1.}]

-0.4542

Table[integrand[x, y]*0.1*0.1, {x, -1., 1., 0.1}, {y, -1., 1., 0.1}]

By other method.




Quiet@NIntegrate[integrand[x, y], {x, -1., 1.}, {y, -1., 1.},

For now, we can see that the integral value is close to zero.

    But I can't avoid the singularity $x==y$, because for example if I have $x$ instead of $x^2$ the result of integral is $-pi^2/2$, and with your code the result is always 0.
