Hi, I have to minimize a function which is defined through a numerical integral. I get the "NIntegrate::inum .." error message. I know I can switch it off, but I wonder if there is a more elegant way to deal with the problem. These my input and output lines: In[1]:= Do[z[i] = i, {i, 1, 50}] Do[mi[i] = i^2, {i, 1, 50}] Do[smi[i] = i^3, {i, 1, 50}] In[4]:= f[x_, om_, w_] := 1/Sqrt[om (1 + x)^3 + (1 - om)(1 + x)^(3*(1 + w))]; rr[zz_?NumberQ, om_, w_] := NIntegrate[f[x, om, w], {x, 0, zz}]; ff[zz_?NumberQ, om_, w_] := 5*Log[10, rr[zz, om, w]*(1 + zz)]; Nn = 50; In[8]:= ci = Sum[1/smi[i]^2, {i, 1, 50}]; In[9]:= chi2f2[om_, w_] := Sum[(mi[i] - ff[z[i], om, w])^2/smi[i]^2, {i, 1, Nn}] - (Sum[(mi[i] - ff[z[i], om, w])/smi[i]^2, {i, 1, Nn}])^2/ci In[10]:= Timing[NMinimize[{chi2f2[om, w], 0 ¡Ü om ¡Ü 1}, {om, w}]] NIntegrate::inum: Integrand ..... is not numerical at {x} = {0.5} Out[10]= {38.966 Second, {0.26337, {om -> 0.999998, w -> 0.0738109}}} Thanks in advance, Ruth Lazkoz
