I am using the function
gsl_integration_qag
Is it possible that this function returns an absolute error ( abserr )
that is negative.
I have been reading the code of qag.c and that seems to be the case.
Anyone could confirm this?

Hi,
Negative errors shouldn't occur under normal usage, so if you
encounter any negative errors please send a bug report. Thanks.

You can use the function gsl_set_error_handler_off() at the beginning
of your program, and then the return status of gsl functions for
errors.

It was my mistake. Negative errors are not occuring when I use qag.
Do you know how I can avoid the error:
roundoff error prevents tolerance from being achieved?

Hi,
Some strategies for difficult integrals are discussed in the QUADPACK
manual (referenced in the GSL integration chapter). Usually it comes
down to rewriting the integral to reduce numerical cancellations.
