Gaussian Quadrature Formulae for Arbitrary Positive Measures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present computational methods and subroutines to compute Gaussian quadrature integration formulas for arbitrary positive measures. For expensive integrands that can be factored into well-known forms, Gaussian quadrature schemes allow for efficient evaluation of high-accuracy and -precision numerical integrals, especially compared to general ad hoc schemes. In addition, for certain well-known density measures (the normal, gamma, log-normal, Student's t, inverse-gamma, beta, and Fisher's F) we present exact formulae for computing the respective quadrature scheme.

A Characterization of Positive Quadrature Formulae
A positive quadrature formula with n nodes which is exact for polynomials of degree In — r — 1, 0 < r < « , is based on the zeros of certain quasi-orthogonal polynomials of degree n . We show that the quasi-orthogonal polynomials that lead to the positive quadrature formulae can all be expressed as characteristic polynomials of a symmetric tridiagonal matrix with positive subdiagonal entries. A...

متن کاملA Note on Tchakaloff’s Theorem
A classical result of Tchakaloff on the existence of exact quadrature formulae up to a given degree is extended to positive measures without compact support. A criterion for the existence of Gaussian quadratures for a class of such measures is also derived from the main proof.

We also produce explicit formulae for the weights.
