Chapter 19

1. Rhomberg's Integration Method provides a better approximation of the integral than the Trapezoidal Rule by reducing the True Error through extrapolation. 2. The method is demonstrated through an example problem calculating the area bounded by a function using the Trapezoidal Rule with 15, 30, and 45 segments. The results are then used to estimate the area through Rhomberg's Integration. 3. The document provides an application example calculating the vertical distance covered by a rocket between two time intervals using Romberg's Integration and results from the Trapezoidal Rule given in a table.

` Chapter 19:
Rhomberg's Integration Method
OBJECTIVE:
In this chapter, the students are able to familiarize first the previous study
about Trapezoidal Method then be able to apply the Rhomberg’s theorem by the
used of MS Excel.

DISCUSSION:
Romberg Integration is an extrapolation formula of the Trapezoidal Rule
for integration. It provides a better approximation of the integral by reducing
the True Error.
The general equation,
2 1
4𝑘𝑛 −𝑛
AF = 4𝑘−1
 k denotes the no of iterative where will found the area bounded by the
given n.
 n for the area on that segment.

SAMPLE PROBLEM:
In equation x^2 - 4x + y = 5 the point of intersections are
(0,9),(0,5),(2,9). By using the trapezoidal Method the area bounded in given n = 15,
30, and 45 are:

A15= 2.672592593, A30= 2.668148148, A45= 2.667325103

So by Rhomberg’s Theorem;

1. Input the three areas in one row as label k=0.

Table 1. Rhomberg’s Integration

2. On the given table 1, we now estimate the roots for the 1st iterative label as
k=1.
At n=15 and n=30 the total area between them is:
2 1
4𝑘𝑛 −𝑛 4(1)(2.668148148)−(2.672592593)
A 1= =
4𝑘−1 4(1)−1
A 1= 2.66666667
3. At n=30 and n=45, areas between them are:
2 1
4𝑘𝑛 −𝑛 4(1)(2.667325103)−(2.668148148)
A 2= =
4𝑘−1 4(1)−1
A 2= 2.667050754
4. And as for the AF, we can now estimate the total roots of the three segment of
n.
Based on the 2nd iterative, our k = 2.
2 1
4𝑘𝑛 −𝑛 4 (2)(2.667050754)−(2.66666667)
A F= =
4𝑘−1 4 (2)−1
A F= 2.66707636

APPLICATION:
1. Use the 1, 2, 4, and 8-segment Trapezoidal rule results as given to find the Area
by Romberg’s Integration.
From Table 2, the needed values from original Trapezoidal rule are:
I 1,1  0.11489
I 1, 2  0.99637
I 1,3  0.96969
I 1, 4  0.97901
