Here is a simple-minded approach using indicator functions: fxyz <- function(w) { x <- w[1] y <- w[2] z <- w[3] x*y*z*(y < x) * (z < x)
} library(adapt) lower <- rep(0,3) upper <- rep(1, 3) # exact answer is 1/24 = 0.041666 adapt(ndim=3, lower=lower, upper=upper, functn = fxyz, eps=1.e-03) This approach can be very inefficient depending upon how big the 3-dim hyper-rectangle is compared to the actual region over which the integrand is non-zero.

I tried the "adapt" package and I get some error. This is the error message: "Error in function (z, y, x) : argument "x" is missing, with no default" I included my R code. Can anyone please let me know how I can calculate the numerical integral of such a function where some of the boundaries are functions of the other variables? require(adapt) fn<-function(z,y,x) {exp(x^3+y^4+x^2*y+x*z^2+y/z)} x<-runif(200);y<-runif(200);z<-runif(200); c1<-.5;c2<-5;M<-100; #M to represent infinity i1<-adapt(3,lo=c(.0001,0,0),up=c(M,c1*z,c2/y),functn=fn)$value print(i1); Thanks, -- Davood Tofighi [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
