DUNAVANT
Quadrature Rules for the Triangle

DUNAVANT is a C++ library, using double precision arithmetic, which defines the weights and abscisass for a sequence of 20 quadrature rules on a triangle, which are exact for polynomials up to degree 20.

These rules are almost optimal, in the sense that, for each polynomial degree, the number of points used in the rule is close to, or equal to, the theoretical minimum possible value.

A few of the rules include one or two points which are "slightly" outside the triangle; a few of the rules include weights which are negative. Both of these occurrences are generally undesirable.
