gen_laguerre_rule


gen_laguerre_rule, a MATLAB code which generates a specific generalized Gauss-Laguerre quadrature rule, based on user input.

The rule is written to three files for easy use as input to other programs.

The generalized Gauss-Laguerre quadrature rule is used as follows:

        Integral ( a <= x < +oo ) |x-a|^alpha * exp(-b*(x-a)) f(x) dx
      
is to be approximated by
        Sum ( 1 <= i <= order ) w(i) * f(x(i))
      

Usage:

gen_laguerre_rule ( order, alpha, a, b, 'filename' )
