jacobi_rule

jacobi_rule, a C++ code which generates a specific Gauss-Jacobi quadrature rule, based on user input.

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

The Gauss-Jacobi quadrature rule is used as follows:

        Integral ( A <= x <= B ) (B-x)^alpha (x-A)^beta f(x) dx
      

        Sum ( 1 <= i <= order ) w(i) * f(x(i))
      

Usage:

jacobi_rule order alpha beta a b filename

• order is the number of points in the quadrature rule.
• alpha is the exponent of (B-x), which must be greater than -1.
• beta is the exponent of (x-A), which must be greater than -1.
• a is the left endpoint;
• b is the right endpoint.
• filename specifies how the rule is to be reported: filename_w.txt, filename_x.txt, and filename_r.txt, containing the weights, abscissas, and interval limits.
