Abstract
The idea of blending which was originally used for bivariate approximation is utilized for the numerical integration of the product of two functions. The combination of three product-type quadrature rules results in a rule with a lower error than each of the original rules. Rules of different exactness degrees as well as compounded rules of different step sizes can be taken for such a combination. Two explicit rules are constructed for demonstration; numerical examples confirm the asymptotic rates of convergence of these rules.
