xCAS Integration strange behaviour when Digits != 14

[mcebrian]

Hi,

New xCAS user here. I have observed with different difficult numerical integrations, I cannot get the decimal (final) result if Digits != 14.

It is able to approximate all if Digits is set to 14. It gives a real value.

This behavior is the same in all the platforms. (Mac native, web, Numworks).


Is this the expected behavior?

If Digits=14 it is always able to give an approx value.

Why so?

Kind regards

That's because there is no implementation for the incomplete gamma function in multiprecision.

Thanks Mr. Bernard. That makes sense. Although most of the platforms that allow multi precision have it so I wanted to understand why.

Kind regards
