clenshaw_curtis_grid


clenshaw_curtis_grid, a FORTRAN90 code which sets up a Clenshaw Curtis quadrature rule in one or multiple dimensions.

Routines are available to look up or compute the weights and abscissas of the 1D rule.

The code includes a routine to set the abscissas of a multiple dimension product rule.

It is easy to generate a Clenshaw Curtis grid of any order N. Of special interest are nested grids, particularly those for which the nesting involves repeated divisions of the interval length by 2. In such a case, the data computed from the previous step can be reused, and the new data allows for an inexpensive estimate of the rate of error decrease. In the 1D case, we can keep track of such a nested sequence of rules by the "level", which, except for the zeroth level, has a simple relationship to the order N:
LEVELNH
012
13=2+11
25=4+11/2
39=8+11/4
417=16+11/8
533=32+11/16

The code includes routines which pack into a single array all the abscissas associated with several Clenshaw Curtis grids of abscissas, with the grids selected in one of two ways.

Two selection rules are available.

For the first "MINMAX" selection rule, we define the quantity Q to be the sum of the 1D orders:


        Q = sum ( 1 <= I <= DIM_NUM ) ORDER(I)
      
and then select all grids for which

        Q_MIN <= Q <= Q_MAX.
      

For the second "CONSTRAINED" selection rule, we define the quantity Q to be the weighted sum of the 1D orders:


        Q = sum ( 1 <= I <= DIM_NUM ) ALPHA(I) * ORDER(I)
      
and we require that the orders be bounded:

        ORDER_MIN(I) <= ORDER(I) <= ORDER_MAX(I).
      
and then select all grids for which

        Q <= Q_MAX.
