QUADRATURE_RULES_JACOBI
Quadrature Rules of Gauss-Jacobi Type


QUADRATURE_RULES_JACOBI is a dataset directory which contains examples of quadrature rules of Gauss-Jacobi type.

The Gauss-Jacobi quadrature rule is designed to approximate integrals on the interval [-1,1], with a weight function of the form (1-x)ALPHA * (1+x)BETA. ALPHA and BETA are real parameters that must be greater than -1.

Gauss-Jacobi quadrature assumes that the integrand we are considering has a form like:

        Integral ( -1 <= x <= +1 ) (1-x)^alpha (1+x)^beta f(x) dx
      

The standard Gauss-Jacobi quadrature rule is used as follows:

        Integral ( -1 <= x <= +1 ) (1-x)^alpha (1+x)^beta f(x) dx
      
is to be approximated by
        Sum ( 1 <= i <= order ) w(i) * f(x(i)) 
      

For this directory, a quadrature rule is stored as three files, containing the weights, the points, and a file containing two points defining the endpoints of the region.

Example:

We consider a Gauss-Jacobi quadrature rule of order 4 with ALPHA = 0.5 and BETA = 1.5.

Here is the text of the "W" file storing the weights of such a rule:


        0.1018214503045086    
        0.4757517664488109    
        0.6787436549282700    
        0.3144794551129494
      

Here is the text of the "X" file storing the abscissas of such a rule:


       -0.6827529985532060    
       -0.1614690409023143    
        0.4056256275378191    
        0.8385964119177013
      

Here is the text of the "R" file storing the lower and upper limits of the region:


        -1.0
        +1.0
