MATLAB: Approximating Definite Integrals as Sums

homeworkintegralintegrationMATLABnumerical integration

I have a function that I want to integrate over and . I know the answer of this integration is . When I use function, I get the correct result but when I try to evaluate this integral using loops, my result is always . I increased points to but still get the same result. By using loops for integration. The sum approximation is . I am following a research paper which claims that they used loops with gaussian meshes and get as answer.
My question is why exactly I am not getting the correct result and what exactly are gaussian meshes? The function and the code runner.m that I am using are given below:

NBZ = 500; %number of x and y points. total points = NBZ^2
JNN = 0; %a parameter
a = 1;
% x and y limits... and x and y points. 
xmin = -2*pi/(3*a);
xmax = 4*pi/(3*a);
ymin = -2*pi/(sqrt(3)*a);
ymax = 2*pi/(sqrt(3)*a);
dx = (xmax-xmin)/(NBZ-1); %Delta x
dy = dx; %Delta y
xs = xmin:dx:xmax; %array of x points
ys = ymin:dy:ymax; %array of y points
dsum= 0;
for ny = 1:NBZ
    y = ys(ny);
    for nx = 1:NBZ
        x = xs(nx);
        out = F(x,y,JNN);
        dsum = dsum + out*dx*dy;
    end

Best Answer

I don't know what gaussian meshes are, but the Riemann sum works with a just few fixes to the way the sampling is set up:
NBZ = 600; %number of x and y points. total points = NBZ^2
JNN = 0; %a parameter
a = 1;
% x and y limits... and x and y points. 
xmin = -2*pi/(3*a);
xmax = 4*pi/(3*a);
ymin = -2*pi/(sqrt(3)*a);
ymax = 2*pi/(sqrt(3)*a);
xs = linspace(xmin,xmax,NBZ+1); %array of x points
ys = linspace(ymin,ymax,NBZ+1); %array of y points
 xs(end)=[]; ys(end)=[];
dx=xs(2)-xs(1);
dy=ys(2)-ys(1);
dsum= 0;
for ny = 1:NBZ
    y = ys(ny);
    for nx = 1:NBZ
        x = xs(nx);
        out = F(x,y,JNN);
        dsum = dsum + out;
    end
end
answer = dsum*dx*dy
answer = -1.0000
