QUADRULE
Quadrature Rules


QUADRULE is a library of MATLAB routines, using double precision arithmetic, which set up a variety of quadrature rules, used to approximate the integral of a function over various domains.

QUADRULE returns the abscissas and weights for a variety of one dimensional quadrature rules for approximating the integral of a function. The best rule is generally Gauss-Legendre quadrature, but other rules offer special features, including the ability to handle certain weight functions, to approximate an integral on an infinite integration region, or to estimate the approximation error.

A GZIP'ed TAR file of the contents of this directory is available. This is only done as a convenience for users who want ALL the files, and don't want to download them individually. This is not a convenience for me, so don't be surprised if the tar file is somewhat out of date.
