Bert,Thanks a lot for your help. I have a few follow-up questions (shown in 
the comment lines).  Numerical values and error for a (i) vector and (ii) array.

a <- seq(from=0,to=1,by=0.5)
b <- seq(from=5,to=10,by=1)
m <- seq(from=10,to=20,by=5)

f2 <- function(a,b,m)integrate(function(x){exp(-a*x^3-b*x^2-m*x)},lower=0,upper 
= Inf)
fv <- Vectorize(f2,vectorize.args=c("a","b","m"),SIMPLIFY=TRUE)

r1 <- fv(a,b,m)
# How to get just the numerical results as an array
# for scalar values of a,b and m, I can get it with 

#s <- integrate(f,0,Inf)$value
# How do I get this for a vector

# Finally, if I want an array for all the values of a, b and m, how should I 
proceed?
r <- array(0,c(3,6,3))
r.error <- array(0,c(3,6,3))
# I want the results of the vectorized integrate function in the above arrays. 
How do I extract these values?

Thanks,Ravi

 Ravi:
First of all, you're calling Vectorize incorrectly. The first argument must be 
a function *name*, not a function call. Here's what you need to do (and thanks 
for the reprex -- wouldn't have been able to help without it!):
f2 <- function(a,b,c)integrate(function(x){exp(-a*x^3-b*x^2-c*x)},lower 
=0,upper = Inf)
fv <- Vectorize(f2,vectorize.args=c("a","b","c"),SIMPLIFY=TRUE)
Second of all, as you may realize, the vectorization uses mapply() and so 
vectorizes the c(a,b,c) triplet "in parallel," which will "recycle" shorter 
arguments to the length of longer. Hence you will get 6 results from your 
example:
> fv(a,b,m)
             [,1]         [,2]         [,3]        [,4]         [,5]         
[,6]        
value        0.09207851   0.0635289    0.04837997  0.08856628   0.06224138   
0.04777941  
abs.error    3.365173e-08 3.108388e-06 1.00652e-09 3.284876e-09 1.796619e-08 
6.348142e-09
subdivisions 2            1            2           2            2            2

Hi all,I am having some difficulties in vectorizing the integrate function. Let 
me explain with an example.
a <- 10; b <- 3; c <- 4
f <- function(x) {exp(-a*x^3-b*x^2-c*x)}
integrate(f,0,Inf) # works fine

My difficulties start when I want to vectorize.

# attempts to vectorize fail
a <- seq(from=0,to=1,by=0.5)
b <- seq(from=5,to=10,by=1)
m <- seq(from=10,to=20,by=5)
f2 <- function(x,a,b,c) {exp(-a*x^3-b*x^2-m*x)}
fv <- Vectorize(integrate(f2,0,Inf),vectorize.args=c("a","b","m"),SIMPLIFY=TRUE)

I want the result as a 3-d array with dimensions of the lengths of a, b and c. 
I have tried several variants but am not having much luck. Will appreciate any 
help that I can get.
Thanks,Ravi Sutradhara
