sparse_grid_hw
    
    
    
      sparse_grid_hw,
      a C++ code which 
      computes sparse grids for multidimensional integration,
      based on 1D rules for the unit interval with unit weight function,
      or for the real line with the Gauss-Hermite weight function,
      by Florian Heiss and Viktor Winschel.
    
    
      Four built-in 1D families of quadrature rules are supplied, and the
      user can extend the package by supplying any family of 1D quadrature
      rules.
    
    
      The built-in families are identified by a 3-letter key which is also
      the name of the function that returns members of the family:
      
        - 
          gqu, standard Gauss-Legendre quadrature rules, for
          the unit interval [0,1], with weight function w(x) = 1.
        
- 
          gqn, standard Gauss-Hermite quadrature rules, for
          the infinite interval (-oo,+oo), with weight function 
          w(x) = exp(-x*x/2)/sqrt(2*pi).
        
- 
          kpu, Kronrod-Patterson quadrature rules, for
          the unit interval [0,1], with weight function w(x) = 1.
          These sacrifice some of the precision of gqu in
          order to provide a family of nested rules.
        
- 
          kpn, Kronrod-Patterson quadrature rules, for
          the infinite interval (-oo,+oo), with weight function 
          w(x) = exp(-x*x/2)/sqrt(2*pi).
          These sacrifice some of the precision of gqn in
          order to provide a family of nested rules.
        
      The user can build new sparse grids by supplying a 1D quadrature family.
      Examples provided include:
      
        - 
          cce_order, Clenshaw-Curtis Exponential quadrature rules, for
          the unit interval [0,1], with weight function w(x) = 1.
          The K-th call returns the rule of order 1
          if K is 1, and 2*(K-1)+1 otherwise.
        
- 
          ccl_order, Clenshaw-Curtis Linear quadrature rules, for
          the unit interval [0,1], with weight function w(x) = 1.
          The K-th call returns the rule of order 2*K-1.
        
- 
          ccs_order, slow Clenshaw-Curtis Slow quadrature rules, for
          the unit interval [0,1], with weight function w(x) = 1.
          The K-th call returns the rule of order 1
          if K is 1, and otherwise a rule whose order N has the
          form 2^E+1 and is the lowest such order with precision at least 2*K-1.
