چکیده
This paper presents a Gauss Legendre quadrature method for numerical integration over the standard triangular surface: {(x, y) | 0 , 1, 1} x y x y ≤ ≤ + ≤ in the Cartesian two-dimensional (x, y) space. Mathematical transformation from (x, y) space to (ξ, η) space map the standard triangle in (x, y) space to a standard 2-square in (ξ, η) space: {(ξ, η)|–1 ≤ ξ, η ≤ 1}. This overcomes the difficulties associated with the derivation of new weight coefficients and sampling points and yields results which are accurate and reliable. Results obtained with new formulae are compared with the existing formulae.

Symmetric Gauss Legendre Quadrature Rules for Numerical Integration over an Arbitrary Linear Tetrahedra in Euclidean Three-Dimensional Space
In this paper it is proposed to compute the volume integral of certain functions whose antiderivates with respect to one of the variates (say either x or y or z) is available. Then by use of the well known Gauss Divergence theorem, it can be shown that the volume integral of such a function is expressible as sum of four integrals over the unit triangle. The present method can also evaluate the ...

متن کاملIteration-Free Computation of Gauss-Legendre Quadrature Nodes and Weights
Gauss–Legendre quadrature rules are of considerable theoretical and practical interest because of their role in numerical integration and interpolation. In this paper, a series expansion for the zeros of the Legendre polynomials is constructed. In addition, a series expansion useful for the computation of the Gauss–Legendre weights is derived. Together, these two expansions provide a practical ...
متن کاملError of the Newton-Cotes and Gauss-Legendre Quadrature Formulas
Abstract. It was shown by P. J. Davis that the Newton-Cotes quadrature formula is convergent if the integrand is an analytic function that is regular in a sufficiently large region of the complex plane containing the interval of integration. In the present paper, a bound on the error of the Newton-Cotes quadrature formula for analytic functions is derived. Also the bounds on the Legendre polyno...
