Hi, mathgroup!
In Mathematica 3.0.1 Integrate can handle InterpoatingFunction objects,
which was not possible in Mathematica 2.2.3. However, it does NOT
succeed in integrating, if the InterpoatingFunction integrand is
combined with something trivial, like below:
data = {{0,0},{0.041,0},{0.093,48.9},{0.113,0},{1,0}}
f=Interpolation[data,InterpolationOrder->1] Integrate[f[x],{x,0,1}] (*
this returns the right value *) Integrate[x+f[x],{x,0,1}] (* this
returns Integrate[x+f[x],{x,0,1}] *)
Why this? As far as I know, Integrate knows, to integrate Sums by acting
on the summands individually. Or is there a general problem, when
combining InterpoatingFunction objects with other things when
integrating. Any idea, how to overcome this?
