Interval quadrature formulae of Gaussian type on R and R+ for exponential weight functions of the form w(x) = exp(−Q(x)), where Q is a continuous function on its domain and such that all algebraic polynomials are integrable with respect to w, are considered. For a given set of nonoverlapping intervals and an arbitrary n, the uniqueness of the n-point interval Gaussian rule is proved. The result...

We investigate in this paper the numerical performances of quadratic functional quantization with some applications to Finance. We emphasize the rôle played by the so-called product quantizers and the Karhunen-Loève expansion of Gaussian processes, in particular the Brownian motion. We show how to build some efficient functional quantizers for Brownian diffusions. We propose a quadrature formul...

The subject of this work is the application of fully discrete Galerkin finite element methods to initial-boundary value problems for linear partial integro-differential equations of parabolic type. We investigate numerical schemes based on the Padé discretization with respect to time and associated with certain quadrature formulas to approximate the integral term. A preliminary error estimate i...

Three new error bounds are presented for the well-known Simpson quadrature rule in ] , [ 1 b a L and ] , [ b a L spaces.

In this paper attention is given to the efficient numerical evaluation of the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) performance-based earthquake engineering framework equations. In particular, potential problems in determining an adequate yet efficient region of integration are discussed. An algorithm called “Magnitude-oriented Adaptive Quadrature” (MAQ) is developed, which is an integ...

This paper describes the development of an approximate method for propagating uncertainty through stochastic dynamical systems using a quadrature rule integration based method. The development of quadrature rules for Gaussian mixture distributions is discussed. A numerical solution to this problem is considered that uses a Gram-Schmidt process. Simulation results are presented where the quadrat...

In this paper, a new scheme of the evaluation of numerical integration by using Centroidal mean derivative based closed Newton cotes quadrature rule (CMDCNC) is presented in which the centroidal mean is used for the computation of function derivative. The accuracy of these numerical formulas are higher than the existing closed Newton cotes quadrature (CNC) fromula. The error terms are also obta...

We introduce two direct quadrature methods based on linear rational interpolation for solving general Volterra integral equations of the second kind. The first, deduced by a direct application of linear barycentric rational quadrature given in former work, is shown to converge at the same rate, but is costly on long integration intervals. The second, based on a composite version of the rational...
