On numerical improvement of Gauss–Radau quadrature rules

2005, Applied Mathematics and Computation

Abstract

It is known that Gauss-Radau quadrature rule Z 1 À1 f ðxÞ dx ' X n i¼1 a i f ðb i Þ þ pf ðÀ1Þ ðor qf ð1ÞÞ, is exact for polynomials of degree at most 2n. In this paper we intend to find a formula which is nearly exact for monomial functions x j , j = 0,1,.. ., 2n + 2, instead of being analytically exact for the basis space x j , j = 0,1,.. ., 2n. In this way, several examples are also given to show the numerical superiority of the presented rules with respect to usual Gauss-Radau quadrature rules.
