simplex_gm_rule

simplex_gm_rule, a C++ code which defines Grundmann-Moeller quadrature rules over the interior of a triangle in 2D, a tetrahedron in 3D, or a simplex in M dimensions.

The user can choose the spatial dimension M, thus defining the region to be a triangle (M = 2), tetrahedron (M = 3) or a general M-dimensional simplex.

The user chooses the index S of the rule. Rules are available with index S = 0 on up. A rule of index S will exactly integrate any polynomial of total degree 2*S+1 or less.

The rules are defined on the unit M-dimensional simplex. A simple linear transformation can be used to map the vertices and weights to an arbitrary simplex, while preserving the accuracy of the rule.

cpp_rule, a C++ code which computes a quadrature rule which estimates the integral of a function f(x), which might be defined over a one dimensional region (a line) or more complex shapes such as a circle, a triangle, a quadrilateral, a polygon, or a higher dimensional region, and which might include an associated weight function w(x).
