The authors find the greatest value λ and the least value μ, such that the double inequality C(λa + (1-λb), λb+(1-λ)a) < αA(a, b) + (1-α)T(a,b) < C(μa + (1 - μ)b, μb + (1 - μ)a) holds for all α ∈ (0, 1) and a, b > 0 with a ≠ b, where C(a, b) = 2(a² + ab + b²)/3(a + b), A(a, b) = (a + b)/2, and T(a, b) = (a + b)/2, and T(a, b) = (2/π) ∫₀(π/2) √a²cos²θ + b²sin²θdθ denote, respectively, the centro...

In this paper, the computation of numerical integration using arithmetic mean (AMDCNC), geometric mean (GMDCNC) and harmonic mean (HMDCNC) derivativebased closed Newton cotes quadrature rules are compared with the existing closed Newton cotes quadrature rule (CNC). The comparison shows that, arithmetic mean-based rule gives better solution than the other two rules. This set of quadrature rules ...
