Hallo there!
If have a syntactical problem in the following context: I need to
evaluate the Durbin algorithm for first passage time of Brownian motion
for curved boundaries. The density function of the fpt is of the form
f(t)=sum_{i=1}^\infty q_k(t),
where each component q_k(t) requires the evaluation of the
(k-1)-integral of a function of t_0, ..., t_{k-1}, with equal integral
limits 0 to t.
I would like to implement the function q_k(t) in the form q[k_, t_], so
that the body of the routine q would contain
Integrate[ a function of t_0, ..., t_{k-1}, {t_0, 0, t}, {t_1, 0,t},
..., {t_{k-1}, t}]
That is: The length of the argument list {t_0, 0, t}, {t_1, 0,t}, ...,
{t_{k-1}, t} depends on the index k (!!!), which is passed to the
program q[k,t], so that the argument list must be evaluated dynamically
by the routine. Is there any way to do this, that is, a syntax that
Mathematica 3.0 will understand?
Any hints are appreciated. Thank you very much!
