alpert_rule


alpert_rule, a C code which has tabulated values that define Alpert quadrature rules of a number of orders of accuracy for functions that are regular, log singular, or power singular.

The rules defined here assume that the integral is to be taken over the interval [0,1]. The interval is divided into N+1 intervals. The leftmost and rightmost intervals are handled in a special way, depending on whether a particular kind of singularity is expected.

A singularity may exist at the left endpoint, x = 0. The cases are:

In case one, the regular Alpert rule is used in both end intervals. In case two, the power singular Alpert rule is used in the leftmost interval. In case three, the log singular Alpert rule is used in the leftmost interval.

c_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).

quadrature_weights_vandermonde, a C code which computes the weights of a quadrature rule using the Vandermonde matrix, assuming that the points have been specified.
