Hi, I'm facing a problem in calculating surface integration. I defined the function below which calculates surface integration for a discrete dataset using the trapezoidal rule.
.m
function out = trapz2D(x,y,f)
x = x(:);
y = y(:);
nx = length(x);
ny = length(y);
dx = diff(x);
dy = diff(y);
dS = dy*dx.';
df = (f(1:ny-1,1:nx - 1) + f(2:ny,1:nx-1) + f(1:ny-1,2:nx) + f(2:ny,2:nx))/4;
out = sum(sum(dS.*df));
end
I calculated surface integration using this function and the dataset attached, and then compare it to the value obtained from "trapz" which is a MATLAB built-in function.
surfInteg.m
clc
close all
clear
format long
load('dataset.mat')
I1 = trapz(y, trapz(x,Pz3,2));
I2 = trapz2D(x,y,Pz3);
disp([I1; I2])
>>>1.0e-12 *
0.307618158054522 - 0.000000000004792i
0.307618158054522 - 0.000000000004792i
I1 = trapz(y, trapz(x,Pz1,2));
I2 = trapz2D(x,y,Pz1);
disp([I1; I2])
>>>1.0e-27 *
-0.135645057561047 + 0.013248760976931i
-0.129284381233370 + 0.013497757971006i
The results are similar for "Pz3", but not for "Pz1". Could someone explain why this is happening?

Scale Pz1 by a factor of 1e27 and see what happens.
Best wishes
