Gauss-type Quadrature Rules for Rational Functions

  • Chapter
Numerical Integration IV

Part of the book series: ISNM International Series of Numerical Mathematics ((ISNM,volume 112))

Abstract

When integrating functions that have poles outside the interval of integration, but are regular otherwise, it is suggested that the quadrature rule in question ought to integrate exactly not only polynomials (if any), but also suitable rational functions. The latter are to be chosen so as to match the most important poles of the integrand. We describe two methods for generating such quadrature rules numerically and report on computational experience with them.
