Piecewise linear interpolation

use math: nan, floor

# By equidistant nodes
# [x0+k*d, y[k]]

function pli(x0,d,y)
   n = len(y)
   return fn|x|
      k = int(floor((x-x0)/d))
      if k<0 or k+1>=n
         return nan
      else
         return y[k]+(y[k+1]-y[k])/d*(x-x0-k*d)
      end
   end

Numerical derivative

# The first derivative of a function f at x 
diffh = |h| |f,x| (f(x+h)-f(x-h))/(2*h)
diff = diffh(0.001)


# Differential operator
Dh = |h| |f| |x| (f(x+h)-f(x-h))/(2*h)
D = Dh(0.001)


f = |x| x^2
f1 = D(f)
f2 = (D^2)(f)

Simpson's rule

function simpson(f,a,b,n)
   h = (b-a)/n
   y = 0
   for i in 0..n-1
      x = a+h*i
      y = y+f(x)+4*f(x+0.5*h)+f(x+h)
   end
   return y*h/6
end

Function implementations

What follows is an approximation of the complex Riemann zeta function ζ(s) by an application of the Euler-MacLaurin formula, which yields:

At next this calculation will be implemented without further ado. Finally the functional equation of the zeta function (a.k.a. reflection formula) is used for Re(s)<0.

use math: pi, sin, gamma
use math.sf: B
use cmath: re

function new_zeta({N,m})
   function Euler_MacLaurin_term(s,N,m)
      return (1..m).sum(|n| B(2*n)/gamma(2*n+1)
         *N^(1-2*n-s)*(0..2*n-2).prod(|k| (s+k)))
   end
   function zeta_Euler_MacLaurin(s,N,m)
      return ((1..N-1).sum(|k| 1/k^s)+N^(1-s)/(s-1)
         +0.5*N^(-s)+Euler_MacLaurin_term(s,N,m))
   end
   return fn zeta|s|
      if re(s)<0
         return (2^s*pi^(s-1)*sin(pi*s/2)
