Gau{\ss} cubature (multidimensional numerical integration) rules are the natural generalisation of the 1D Gau{\ss} rules. They are optimal in the sense that they exactly integrate polynomials of as high a degree as possible for a particular…
Motivated by an application in Magnetic Particle Imaging, we study bivariate Lagrange interpolation at the node points of Lissajous curves. The resulting theory is a generalization of the polynomial interpolation theory developed for a node…
A method is developed to compute analytically fully symmetric cubature rules on the triangle by using symmetric polynomials to express the two kinds of invariance inherent in these rules. Rules of degree up to 15, some of them new and of…
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…
We describe an algorithm for controlling the relative error in the numerical evaluation of a bivariate integral, without prior knowledge of the magnitude of the integral. In the event that the magnitude of the integral is less than unity,…
This paper considers the extension of classical Lagrange interpolation in one real or complex variable to "polynomials of one quaternionic variable". To do this we develop some aspects of the theory of such polynomials. We then give a…
We develop quadrature rules for the isogeometric analysis of wave propagation and structural vibrations that minimize the discrete dispersion error of the approximation. The rules are optimal in the sense that they only require two…
We show that the minimal number of skewed hyperplanes that cover the hypercube $\{0,1\}^{n}$ is at least $\frac{n}{2}+1$, and there are infinitely many $n$'s when the hypercube can be covered with $n-\log_{2}(n)+1$ skewed hyperplanes. The…
Quadrature formulas for $\int_a^b f(x) dx$ where derivative terms need only be evaluated at $a$ and $b$ in the composite rule are identified. Error bounds are given when $f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfies $f^{(n-1)}$ is absolutely continuous…
The techniques for polynomial interpolation and Gaussian quadrature are generalized to matrix-valued functions. It is shown how the zeros and rootvectors of matrix orthonormal polynomials can be used to get a quadrature formula with the…
The vector of weights of an interpolatory quadrature rule with $n$ preassigned nodes is shown to be the least-squares solution $\omega$ of an overdetermined linear system here called {\em the fundamental system} of the rule. It is…
We provide explicit expressions for quadrature rules on the space of $C^1$ quintic splines with uniform knot sequences over finite domains. The quadrature nodes and weights are derived via an explicit recursion that avoids an intervention…
73 new cubature rules are found for three standard multidimensional integrals with spherically symmetric regions and weights, using direct search with a numerical zero-finder. All but four of the new rules have fewer integration points than…
The paper contains a survey of the results obtained by the author in recent years. These results concern the application in multivariate polynomial interpolation of some geometric constructions and methods. In particular, we give estimates…
Orthogonal polynomials for a family of weight functions on $[-1,1]^2$, $$ \CW_{\a,\b,\g}(x,y) = |x+y|^{2\a+1} |x-y|^{2\b+1} (1-x^2)^\g(1-y^2)^{\g}, $$ are studied and shown to be related to the Koornwinder polynomials defined on the region…
We investigate the uniform approximation provided by least squares polynomials on the unit Euclidean sphere $\mathbb{S}^q$ in $\mathbb{R}^{q+1}$, with $q\ge 2$. Like any other polynomial projection, the study concerns the growth, as the…
Let $d$ and $k$ be positive integers. Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on $\mathbb{R}^2$ possessing finite moments up to degree $2d-1$. If the support of $\mu$ is contained in an algebraic curve of degree $k$, then we show that there…
An error estimate for the Gauss-Lobatto quadrature formula for integration over the interval $[-1, 1]$, relative to the Jacobi weight function $w^{\alpha,\beta}(t)=(1-t)^\alpha(1+t)^\beta$, $\alpha,\beta>-1$, is obtained. This estimate…
We show that product Chebyshev polynomial meshes can be used, in a fully discrete way, to evaluate with rigorous error bounds the Lebesgue constant, i.e. the maximum of the Lebesgue function, for a class of polynomial projectors on cube,…
A product quadrature rule, based on the filtered de la Vall\'ee Poussin polynomial approximation, is proposed for evaluating the finite Hilbert transform in [-1; 1]. Convergence results are stated in weighted uniform norm for functions…
