Grammar
"When + participle" as adverbial modifier
When editing a mathematical paper, I came across the following sentence:
"When integrating this function, the order of singularity decreases."
The participle "integrating" has no subject here. Is this sentence grammatically correct?

- You can put an -ing form after 'when', 'before', and 'after' (and probably after other subordinators that I can't think of just now).
