SUBROUTINE DQSF

PURPOSE
   TO COMPUTE THE VECTOR OF INTEGRAL VALUES FOR A GIVEN
   EQUIDISTANT TABLE OF FUNCTION VALUES.

USAGE
   CALL DQSF (H,Y,Z,NDIM)

DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS
   H	  - DOUBLE PRECISION INCREMENT OF ARGUMENT VALUES.
   Y	  - DOUBLE PRECISION INPUT VECTOR OF FUNCTION VALUES.
   Z	  - RESULTING DOUBLE PRECISION VECTOR OF INTEGRAL
	    VALUES. Z MAY BE IDENTICAL WITH Y.
   NDIM   - THE DIMENSION OF VECTORS Y AND Z.

REMARKS
   NO ACTION IN CASE NDIM LESS THAN 3.

SUBROUTINES AND FUNCTION SUBPROGRAMS REQUIRED
   NONE

METHOD
   BEGINNING WITH Z(1)=0, EVALUATION OF VECTOR Z IS DONE BY
   MEANS OF SIMPSONS RULE TOGETHER WITH NEWTONS 3/8 RULE OR A
   COMBINATION OF THESE TWO RULES. TRUNCATION ERROR IS OF
   ORDER H**5 (I.E. FOURTH ORDER METHOD). ONLY IN CASE NDIM=3
   TRUNCATION ERROR OF Z(2) IS OF ORDER H**4.
