QUADRATURE_RULES_CHEBYSHEV2
Gauss-Chebyshev Type 2 Quadrature Rules


QUADRATURE_RULES_CHEBYSHEV2 is a dataset directory which contains examples of quadrature rules of Gauss-Chebyshev type 2.

The Gauss-Chebyshev type 2 quadrature rule is designed to approximate integrals on the interval [-1,1], with a weight function of the form sqrt (1-x^2).

Gauss-Chebyshev type 2 quadrature assumes that the integrand we are considering has a form like:

        Integral ( -1 <= x <= +1 ) f(x) * sqrt(1-x^2) dx
      

The standard Gauss-Chebyshev type 2 quadrature rule is used as follows:

        Integral ( -1 <= x <= +1 ) f(x) * sqrt(1-x^2) dx
      
is to be approximated by
        Sum ( 1 <= i <= order ) w(i) * f(x(i)) 
      

For this directory, a quadrature rule is stored as three files, containing the weights, the points, and a file containing two points defining the endpoints of the region.

Example:

We consider a Gauss-Chebyshev type 2 quadrature rule of order 4.

Here is the text of the "W" file storing the weights of such a rule:


  0.2170787134227061    
  0.5683194499747424    
  0.5683194499747423    
  0.2170787134227060   
      

Here is the text of the "X" file storing the abscissas of such a rule:


 -0.8090169943749473    
 -0.3090169943749473    
  0.3090169943749475    
  0.8090169943749475       
      

Here is the text of the "R" file storing the lower and upper limits of the region:


        -1.0
        +1.0
