Recursive N-dimensional Integration in C+ +

In the realm of computational physics, particularly in particle physics, integrating multi-dimensional functions can quickly become a daunting task. One may find themselves grappling with issues of dimensionality and the complexity of function signatures. This blog will delve into creating a recurring integration method in C+ + that can efficiently handle N-dimensional functions, making life a little easier for physicists and programmers alike.

The Problem

Say you need to perform N-dimensional integration over a hypercube defined as [0:1]^N, where N can be any positive integer. The challenge is twofold:

You need a method that can adapt for any N dimensions.

The integrand function is often a member function requiring the use of std::bind, complicating the matter further.

The goal is to construct a recursive integral function that can bind one variable at a time until all variables have been integrated.

The Solution

Overview

We'll create a templated recursive function using C+ + 11 that allows for integration across multiple dimensions. The function utilizes features like template specialization, lambdas, and placeholders. Instead of repeatedly writing integration methods for different dimensions, we'll let templates handle this task seamlessly.

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Define the Integral Function for N Dimensions

We'll create an integral function, integralND, that behaves differently based on the dimension count.

Step 2: Handling 1 Dimension

The base case for our recursion is the 1-dimensional integral, where we can compute the integral directly.

Step 3: Define the Functor

Now let's look at how to define the functors. A simple struct can represent our functions to integrate, like Gaussian functions:

Conclusion

By employing C+ + templates and leveraging lambda functions, we’ve successfully constructed a recursive integration method that can adapt to different dimensions. This generalized approach aids in reducing redundancy in your code and fits seamlessly into broader computational physics frameworks.

This solution not only demonstrates the power of modern C+ + features but also provides a practical toolkit for anyone working on complex multi-dimensional integrations in their computational tasks.
