CHEBYSHEV1_RULE
Gauss-Chebyshev Type 1 Quadrature Rules

CHEBYSHEV1_RULE is an executable MATLAB program, using double precision arithmetic, which can generate a specific Gauss-Chebyshev type 1 quadrature rule, based on user input.

The rule can be output as text in a standard programming language, or the data can be written to three files for easy use as input to other programs.

The Gauss-Chebyshev type 1 quadrature rule is designed for the interval [-1,+1].

The Gauss-Chebyshev type 1 quadrature assumes that the integrand has the form:

        Integral ( -1 <= x <= +1 ) f(x) / sqrt ( 1 - x^2 ) dx
      

The standard Gauss-Chevbyshev type 1 quadrature rule is used as follows:

        Integral ( -1 <= x <= +1 ) f(x) / sqrt ( 1 - x^2 ) dx
      

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

Usage:

chebyshev1_rule ( order, 'output' )

order

the number of points in the quadrature rule. A typical value might be 4, 8, or 16.

'output'

a quoted string which specifies how the rule is to be reported:

• 'C++', print as C++ text;
• 'F77', print as FORTRAN77 text;
• 'F90', print as FORTRAN90 text;
• 'MAT', print as MATLAB text;
• 'file', written to three files, file_w.txt, file_x.txt, and file_r.txt, containing the weights, abscissas, and interval limits.
