clenshaw_curtis_rule

clenshaw_curtis_rule, a Fortran90 code which generates a Clenshaw Curtis quadrature rule.

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

The standard Clenshaw Curtis quadrature rule is used as follows:

        Integral ( A <= x <= B ) f(x) dx
      

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

Usage:

clenshaw_curtis_rule order a b filename

• order is the number of points in the quadrature rule;
• a is the left endpoint;
• b is the right endpoint;
• filename specifies the output filenames: namefile_w.txt, filename_x.txt, and filename_r.txt, containing the weights, abscissas, and interval limits.

f90_rule, a Fortran90 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).
