Next, in the grid, θsτ fcι = ∆1sτ,k1 = 2^1, θυτ k? = ^2vτ,k2 = 2J^2 , then, on the rectangle of integration:

even for a moderate choice of N. Still, truncation at a very low N, may result in a negative value of W.

Closed-form expressions for the integrals are straightforward to derive and are not presented here to save
space. Some experimentation reveals that very accurate results for
W are obtained for N = 8. This choice
also guarantees strict positivity of
W for all θsτ, θυτ [0, 2π].
