Abstract

In this paper we propose and analyse composite Filon-Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature rules for integrals of the form Ik[a,b](f,g):=abf(x)exp(ikg(x))\rdxI_{k}^{[a,b]}(f,g) := \int_a^b f(x) \exp(\mathrm{i}kg(x)) \rd x , where k0k \geq 0, ff may have integrable singularities and gg may have stationary points. Our composite rule is defined on a mesh with MM subintervals and requires MN+1MN+1 evaluations of ff. It satisfies an error estimate of the form CNkrMN1+rC_N k^{-r} M^{-N-1 + r}, where rr is determined by the strength of any singularity in ff and the order of any stationary points in gg and CNC_N is a constant which is independent of kk and MM, but depends on NN. The regularity requirements on ff and gg are explicit in the error estimates. For fixed kk, the rate of convergence of the rule as MM \rightarrow \infty is the same as would be obtained if ff was smooth. Moreover, the quadrature error decays at least as fast as kk \rightarrow \infty as does the original integral Ik[a,b](f,g)I_{k}^{[a,b]}(f,g). For the case of nonlinear oscillators gg, the algorithm requires the evaluation of g1g^{-1} at non-stationary points. Numerical results demonstrate the sharpness of the theory. An application to the implementation of boundary integral methods for the high-frequency Helmholtz equation is given.
