Abstract

We consider the algorithm for verified integration of piecewise analytic functions given by Petras. The analysis of the algorithm contained in Patras' paper is limited to a narrow class of functions and gives upper bounds only. We present an estimation of the complexity (measured by a number of evaluations of an integrand) of the algorithm, both upper and lower bounds, for a wider class of functions. We show examples with complexity Θ(ln\eps/\epsp1)\Theta(|\ln\eps|/\eps^{p-1}), for any p>1p >1, where \eps\eps is the desired accuracy of the computed integral.
