The constant K has the same meaning as above. 1CAS = Computer Algebra System. 2The interval [0, 2π] is for convenience only. Everything we say can easily be extended to an arbitrary interval [a, b]. 3One notices that the error bound for the midpoint rule is one half that of the trapezoidal rule; compare (2) with (3). For a pretty geometrical explanation of why one can expect the midpoint rule t...

Recently, a variable transformation for integrals over smooth surfaces in R3 was introduced in a paper by Atkinson. This interesting transformation, which includes a “grading” parameter that can be fixed by the user, makes it possible to compute these integrals numerically via the product trapezoidal rule in an efficient manner. Some analysis of the approximations thus produced was provided by ...

Class Sm variable transformations with integer m, for numerical computation of finite-range integrals, were introduced and studied by the author in the paper [A. Sidi, A new variable transformation for numerical integration, Numerical Integration IV, 1993 (H. Brass and G. Hämmerlin, eds.), pp. 359–373.] A representative of this class is the sinm-transformation that has been used with lattice ru...

The trapezoidal rule for the numerical integration of first-order ordinary differential equations is shown to possess, for a certain type of problem, an undesirable property. The removal of this difficulty is shown to be straightforward, resulting in a modified trapezoidal rule. Whilst this latent difficulty is slight (and probably rare in practice), the fact that the proposed modification invo...

Abstract. It is well-known that the trapezoidal rule, while being only second-order accurate in general, improves to spectral accuracy if applied to the integration of a smooth periodic function over an entire period on a uniform grid. More precisely, for the function that has a square integrable derivative of order r the convergence rate is o ( N−(r−1/2) ) , where N is a number of grid nodes. ...

In this work we are concerned with the numerical solution of a nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equation with a nonsmooth solution. We investigate the application of product integration methods and a detailed analysis of the Trapezoidal method is given. In order to improve the numerical results we consider extrapolation procedures and collocation methods based on graded meshes. Sever...

The numerical mathematical theory provides a few ways of numerical integration with different errors. It is necessary to make use of the most exact method with respect to the computing power for a majority of micr...

A fractional trapezoidal rule type difference scheme for fractional order integro-differential equation is considered. The equation is discretized in time by means of a method based on the trapezoidal rule: while the time derivative is approximated by the standard trapezoidal rule, the integral term is discretized by means of a fractional quadrature rule constructed again from the trapezoidal r...

Aspects of continuous and discrete harmonic analysis on the circle are generalized to star graphs, and through spherical coordinates to the two sphere. The resulting function theory is used to analyze trapezoidal rule integration on the two sphere. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 65D30, 65T99, 34B45

Inequalities are obtained for weighted integrals in terms of bounds involving the first derivative of the function. Quadrature rules are obtained and the classical Iyengar inequality for the trapezoidal rule is recaptured as a special case when the weight function w (x) ≡ 1. Applications to numerical integration are demonstrated.
