An Algebraic Study of Gauss-Kronrod Quadrature Formulae for Jacobi Weight Functions*

چکیده
We study Gauss-Kronrod quadrature formulae for the Jacobi weight function «/"'"'(t) = (l-i)Q(l + t)'3 and its special case a = ß = X^ of the Gegenbauer weight function. We are interested in delineating regions in the (a, /3)-plane, resp. intervals in A, for which the quadrature rule has (a) the interlacing property, i.e., the Gauss nodes and the Kronrod nodes interlace; (b) all nodes contained in (—1,1); (c) all weights positive; (d) only real nodes (not necessarily satisfying (a) and/or (b)). We determine the respective regions numerically for n = 1(1)20(4)40 in the Gegenbauer case, and for n = 1(1)10 in the Jacobi case, where n is the number of Gauss nodes. Algebraic criteria, in particular the vanishing of appropriate resultants and discriminants, are used to determine the boundaries of the regions identifying properties (a) and (d). The regions for properties (b) and (c) are found more directly. A number of conjectures are suggested by the numerical results. Finally, the Gauss-Kronrod formula for the weight w^a'll2^ is obtained from the one for the weight u/a'Q), and similarly, the Gauss-Kronrod formula with an odd number of Gauss nodes for the weight function w(t) = |t|7(l — t2)tt is derived from the Gauss-Kronrod formula for the weight vj(a,(1+1''2\

On generalized averaged Gaussian formulas
We present a simple numerical method for constructing the optimal (generalized) averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas which are the optimal stratified extensions of Gauss quadrature formulas. These extensions exist in many cases in which real positive Kronrod formulas do not exist. For the Jacobi weight functions w(x) ≡ w(α,β)(x) = (1− x)α(1 + x)β (α, β > −1) we give a necessary and sufficient ...
متن کاملCalculation of Gauss-Kronrod quadrature rules
The Jacobi matrix of the (2n+1)-point Gauss-Kronrod quadrature rule for a given measure is calculated efficiently by a five-term recurrence relation. The algorithm uses only rational operations and is therefore also useful for obtaining the Jacobi-Kronrod matrix analytically. The nodes and weights can then be computed directly by standard software for Gaussian quadrature formulas.
متن کاملError estimates for Gauss–Turán quadratures and their Kronrod extensions
We study the kernel Kn,s(z) of the remainder term Rn,s( f ) of Gauss–Turán–Kronrod quadrature rules with respect to one of the generalized Chebyshev weight functions for analytic functions. The location on the elliptic contours where the modulus of the kernel attains its maximum value is investigated. This leads to effective L∞-error bounds of Gauss–Turán–Kronrod quadratures. Following Kronrod,...
متن کاملA historical note on Gauss-Kronrod quadrature
The idea of Gauss–Kronrod quadrature, in a germinal form, is traced back to an 1894 paper of R. Skutsch. The idea of inserting n+1 nodes into an n-point Gaussian quadrature rule and choosing them and the weights of the resulting (2n+1)-point quadrature rule in such a manner as to maximize the polynomial degree of exactness is generally attributed to A.S. Kronrod [2], [3]. This is entirely justi...
