[R] integrate with large parameters

Dear R-users, i have to integrate the following function `fun1` <- function (a, l1, l2) { exp(log(l1) * (a - 1) - l2 * lgamma(a)) } but if l1 is large, i get the "non-finite function value" error, so my idea is to rescale with exp(-l1) `fun2` <- function (a, l1, l2) { exp(log(l1) * (a - 1)
