   /**
     Returns Integral of function between a and b.
     Based on original CERNLIB routine DGAUSS by Sigfried Kolbig
     converted to C++ by Rene Brun

     This function computes, to an attempted specified accuracy, the value
     of the integral.

    Method:
       For any interval [a,b] we define g8(a,b) and g16(a,b) to be the 8-point
       and 16-point Gaussian quadrature approximations to
   Begin_Latex
      I = #int^{b}_{a} f(x)dx
   End_Latex
      and define
   Begin_Latex
      r(a,b) = #frac{#||{g_{16}(a,b)-g_{8}(a,b)}}{1+#||{g_{16}(a,b)}}
   End_Latex
      Then,
   Begin_Latex
      G = #sum_{i=1}^{k}g_{16}(x_{i-1},x_{i})
   End_Latex
      where, starting with x0 = A and finishing with xk = B,
      the subdivision points xi(i=1,2,...) are given by
   Begin_Latex
      x_{i} = x_{i-1} + #lambda(B-x_{i-1})
   End_Latex
   Begin_Latex
      #lambda
   End_Latex
      is equal to the first member of the
      sequence 1,1/2,1/4,... for which r(xi-1, xi) < EPS.
      If, at any stage in the process of subdivision, the ratio
  Begin_Latex
      q = #||{#frac{x_{i}-x_{i-1}}{B-A}}
  End_Latex
      is so small that 1+0.005q is indistinguishable from 1 to
      machine accuracy, an error exit occurs with the function value
      set equal to zero.

   Accuracy:
      The user provides absolute and relative error bounds (epsrel and epsabs) and the
      algorithm will stop when the estimated error is less than the epsabs OR is less
      than |I| * epsrel.
      Unless there is severe cancellation of positive and negative values of
      f(x) over the interval [A,B], the relative error may be considered as
      specifying a bound on the <I>relative</I> error of I in the case
      |I|&gt;1, and a bound on the absolute error in the case |I|&lt;1. More
      precisely, if k is the number of sub-intervals contributing to the
      approximation (see Method), and if
      Begin_Latex
      I_{abs} = #int^{B}_{A} #||{f(x)}dx
      End_Latex
      then the relation
   Begin_Latex
    #frac{#||{G-I}}{I_{abs}+k} < EPS
   End_Latex
      will nearly always be true, provided the routine terminates without
      printing an error message. For functions f having no singularities in
      the closed interval [A,B] the accuracy will usually be much higher than
      this.

    Error handling:
      The requested accuracy cannot be obtained (see Method).
      The function value is set equal to zero.

    Note 1:
      Values of the function f(x) at the interval end-points A and B are not
      required. The subprogram may therefore be used when these values are
      undefined
