We can do much better because the code above performs the
integration every time (int[x,z]) is used. Instead the following should be
used to allow faster evaluation of int[x,z].
f=FunctionInterpolation[ Cos[x + y] + y^2, {x, -1., 1}, {y, -1.,
1}];
g=FunctionInterpolation[ Exp[y] + z/(y + 2), {y, -1., 1}, {z, -1.,
1}];
h=FunctionInterpolation[ f[x,y] g[y,z],
{x,-1.,1.}, {y,-1.,1.}, {z,-1.,1.}
];
Clear[x,z]
int[x_,z_]=Integrate[ h[x,y,z], {y, -1, 1} ]
---------------
Notice I use int[x_,z_] =
rather than int[x_,z_] :=
to ensure the integration is only done when (int) is defined.
Use of Clear[x,z] is recommended since this would not work right
if (x), or (z) have global values when (int) is defined.
