Tanh-Sinh quadrature: make everything smooth

When functions have singularities near the endpoints, it is usually more efficient to integrate via a change of variables. Suppose we have a strictly monotone differentiable function \(\phi: (-\infty, \infty) \to (-1, 1)\). Then with \(x = \phi(s)\), our integral transforms as

\[ \int_{-1}^1 f(x) \mathrm dx = \int_{-\infty}^\infty f(\phi(s)) \phi'(s) \mathrm d s . \]
The tanh-sinh method uses a transformation such that \(\phi'(s) \to 0\) faster than the singularity \(f(\phi(s))\) grows, such that the integrand goes to 0 at finite \(s\).

tanhsinh(s) = tanh(pi/2*sinh(s))

function dtanhsinh(s)
    ds = 1
    t = pi/2 * sinh(s)
    dt = pi/2 * cosh(s) * ds
    (1 - tanh(t)^2) * dt
end

    plot!(s -> f(tanhsinh(s))*dtanhsinh(s), label="$f ∘ tanhsinh")
end

Implementation

The function below implements tanh-sinh quadrature on the interval \((-1,1)\). Given the number of points, we need to choose both the limits of integration (we can’t afford to integrate all the way to infinity) and the spacing. Here we make an arbitrary choice to integrate on the interval \((-L, L)\) where \(L = \log n\). The grid spacing thus scales as \(h \approx 2 \log n / n\).

Modify the quadrature so it can be used to integrate on an arbitrary interval \((a,b)\).

function fint_tanhsinh(f, a, b; n=9)
    L = log(n)
    h = 2 * L / (n - 1)
    s = LinRange(-L, L, n)
    x = tanhsinh.(s)
    w = h * dtanhsinh.(s)
    ## Challenge: modify the weights w and points x to integrated on (a,b), not (-1, 1)
    w' * f.(x)
