spline_integral
Computes the integral of a spline.
Synopsis
#include <imsl.h>
float imsl_f_spline_integral (float a, float b, Imsl_f_spline *sp)
The type double function is imsl_d_spline_integral.
Required Arguments
float a (Input)
The lower limit of integration.
float b (Input)
Endpoints for integration.
Imsl_f_spline *sp (Input)
Pointer to the structure that represents the spline.
Return Value
The integral of a spline. If no value can be computed, then NaN is returned.
Description
The function imsl_f_spline_integral computes the integral of a spline from a to b
This routine uses the identity (22) on page 151 of de Boor (1978).
Example
In this example, a cubic spline interpolant to a function f is computed. The values of the integral of this spline are then compared with the exact integral values. Since the default settings are used, the interpolant is determined by the “not-a-knot” condition (see de Boor 1978).

y = imsl_f_spline_integral(0.0, x, sp);
printf(" %6.3f %10.3f %10.3f %10.4f \n", x, FI(x), y,
fabs(FI(x)-y));

Warning Errors
IMSL_SPLINE_SMLST_ELEMNT
The data arrays xdata and ydata must satisfy datai  torder-1, for i = 1, , num_data.
IMSL_SPLINE_EQUAL_LIMITS
The upper and lower endpoints of integration are equal. The indefinite integral is zero.
IMSL_LIMITS_LOWER_TOO_SMALL
The left endpoint is less than torder-1. Integration occurs only from torder-1 to b.
IMSL_LIMITS_UPPER_TOO_SMALL
The right endpoint is less than torder-1. Integration occurs only from torder-1 to a.
IMSL_LIMITS_UPPER_TOO_BIG
The right endpoint is greater than tspline_space_dim-1. Integration occurs only from a to tspline_space_dim-1.
IMSL_LIMITS_LOWER_TOO_BIG
The left endpoint is greater than tspline_space_dim-1. Integration occurs only from b to tspline_space_dim-1.
Fatal Errors
IMSL_KNOT_MULTIPLICITY
Multiplicity of the knots cannot exceed the order of the spline.
IMSL_KNOT_NOT_INCREASING
The knots must be nondecreasing.
