Abstract

The Romberg extrapolation method (REM) is a powerful numerical integration tool that uses successive applications of the trapezoidal rule and Richardson extrapolation to obtain highly precise estimates of definite integrals. While the third Romberg extrapolates, in particular, produces a refined output by canceling higher-order error words, it has inherent restrictions in its use. This work investigates these limits, which include assumptions about function smoothness, computational complexity, and inefficiencies in dealing with discontinuities or highly oscillatory functions. Two worked examples are offered to exemplify the behaviour and performance of the third Romberg extrapolate in real applications, illustrating both its strengths and weaknesses.
