Anti-Gaussian quadrature formulas

An anti-Gaussian quadrature formula is an (n+ 1)-point formula of degree 2n− 1 which integrates polynomials of degree up to 2n+ 1 with an error equal in magnitude but of opposite sign to that of the n-point Gaussian formula. Its intended application is to estimate the error incurred in Gaussian integration by halving the difference between the results obtained from the two formulas. We show tha...

Stochastic Quadrature Formulas

A class of formulas for the numerical evaluation of multiple integrals is described, which combines features of the Monte-Carlo and the classical methods. For certain classes of functions—defined by smoothness conditions—these formulas provide the fastest possible rate of convergence to the integral. Asymptotic error estimates are derived, and a method is described for obtaining good a posterio...

On Birkhoff Quadrature Formulas

In an earlier work the author has obtained new quadrature formulas (see (1.3)) based on function values and second derivatives on the zeros of nn(i) as defined by (1.2). The proof given earlier was quite long. The object of this paper is to provide a proof of this quadrature formula which is extremely simple and indeed does not even require the use of fundamental polynomials of (0,2) interpolat...

Weighted quadrature rules with binomial nodes

In this paper, a new class of a weighted quadrature rule is represented as --------------------------------------------  where  is a weight function,  are interpolation nodes,  are the corresponding weight coefficients and denotes the error term. The general form of interpolation nodes are considered as   that  and we obtain the explicit expressions of the coefficients  using the q-...
