sum of two independent exponential distributions?

The sum of two independent exponential distributions begin{aligned}{Z=omega_{1}X_{1}+omega_{2}X_{2}}end{aligned} is as follows.
begin{aligned}f_{Z}(z)=&int _{0}^{z}omega_{1}omega_{2}f_{X_{1}}(x_{1})f_{X_{2}}(z-x_{1}),dx_{1}\=omega_{1}omega_{2}&lambda _{1}lambda _{2}exp[-lambda _{2}z]int _{0}^{z}exp[(lambda _{2}-lambda _{1})x_{1}],dx_{1}\=&{frac {omega_{1}omega_{2}lambda _{1}lambda _{2}}{lambda _{2}-lambda _{1}}}left(exp[-lambda _{1}z]-exp[-lambda _{2}z]right)end{aligned}



But the following example doesn't follow the above equation.
begin{aligned}omega_1=exp(-0.114989504)end{aligned}
begin{aligned}omega_2=exp(-7.5448246293224)end{aligned}
begin{aligned}lambda_1=1/(4.3258*10^{-08})end{aligned}
begin{aligned}lambda_1=1/(1.8737*10^{-03})end{aligned}



The result is compared with conv(fX1,fX2)*(x_interval) in Matlab.



Can you tell me what the problem is?

    The convolution in Matlab is a summation, not an integral. My guess is that you reached limits of numerical integration.

    I reduced the x_interval for the convolution. And I solve that problem. Thank you so much.

    It's not really about the interval, it's more about the fact that sometimes $sum_n f(nDelta) Delta$ may not converge to $int f(x) dx$ when $Delta$ goes to $0$
