scipy.integrate.dblquad

scipy.integrate.dblquad(func, a, b, gfun, hfun, args=(), epsabs=1.49e-08, epsrel=1.49e-08)

Compute a double integral.

Return the double (definite) integral of func(y, x) from x = a..b and y = gfun(x)..hfun(x).

Parameters

funccallable

A Python function or method of at least two variables: y must be the first argument and x the second argument.

a, bfloat

The limits of integration in x: a < b

gfuncallable or float

The lower boundary curve in y which is a function taking a single floating point argument (x) and returning a floating point result or a float indicating a constant boundary curve.

hfuncallable or float

The upper boundary curve in y (same requirements as gfun).

argssequence, optional

Extra arguments to pass to func.

epsabsfloat, optional

Absolute tolerance passed directly to the inner 1-D quadrature integration. Default is 1.49e-8.

epsrelfloat, optional

Relative tolerance of the inner 1-D integrals. Default is 1.49e-8.

Returns

yfloat

The resultant integral.

abserrfloat

An estimate of the error.
