I'm stuck with strange messages from Mathematica.
I have ff[x,y] as the ListInterpolation of a Table of Complex numbers
e.g.
ff[x,y]=ListInterpolation[Table[E^((i+j)/20.*(I+1)),{i,1,51},{j,1,51}],{xx,yy}],
where xx,yy are the arrays of the x,y values.
(Of no use here, but the real problem is with a Table of my Complex data
measured at gridpoints {xx,yy}).
ff evaluates nicely to a Complex number as it should, but if I try
NIntegrate[ff[x,y],{x,xmin,xmax},{y,ymin,ymax},MaxPoints->25000]
I get the following series of messages:
General::dupsym:
-- Message text not found -- (XXnn) (NIntegrate`Private`)
(repeated also for XXnn+1, where nn changes every time)
CompiledFunction::cccx:
Expression InterpolatingFunction[{{-48., 102.}, <<1>>}, <<1>>][
<<2>>] should be a machine-size complex number.
CompiledFunction::cfex:
External evaluation error at instruction 4; proceeding with
uncompiled evaluation.
After which it repeats the sequence a couple of times and writes back the
input.
I can't understand any of the messages. Especially the one complaining
about the function not evaluating to a Complex number, whereas it does.
Can you shed light on the question? I assume NIntegrate can handle Complex
numbers, otherwise it shoould complain about the numbers not being Real...
Thank you in advance
Alessandro
