pyramid_rule


pyramid_rule, a C code which generates a quadrature rule over the interior of a pyramid in 3D.

The quadrature rules generated are all examples of conical product rules, and involve a kind of direct product of the form:

Legendre rule in X * Legendre rule in Y * Jacobi rule in Z
where the Jacobi rule includes a factor of (1-Z)^2.

The integration region is:

       - ( 1 - Z ) <= X <= 1 - Z
       - ( 1 - Z ) <= Y <= 1 - Z
                 0 <= Z <= 1.
       
When Z is zero, the integration region is a square lying in the (X,Y) plane, centered at (0,0,0) with "radius" 1. As Z increases to 1, the radius of the square diminishes, and when Z reaches 1, the square has contracted to the single point (0,0,1).
