Abstract
A general approximation method for integrals of smooth integrands over the lognormal distribution is presented that is suitable for integration over s mooth functions, particularly most integrands occurring in aerosol dynamics calculations. Its accuracy and performance is compared to numerical quadra ture methods, the well-known Gauss-Hermite and the hardly-known Gauss-Wiger t technique. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
