gen_hermite_rule


gen_hermite_rule, a MATLAB code which generates a specific generalized Gauss-Hermite quadrature rule, based on user input.

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

The generalized Gauss Hermite quadrature rule is used as follows:

        Integral ( -oo < x < +oo ) |x-a|^alpha * exp( - b * ( x - a)^2 ) f(x) dx
      
is to be approximated by
        Sum ( 1 <= i <= order ) w(i) * f(x(i))
      

Usage:

gen_hermite_rule ( order, alpha, a, b, 'filename' )
