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 numerical integration of an analytical function $f(x)$ using a finite set of equidistant points can be performed by quadrature formulas like the Newton-Cotes. Unlike Gaussian quadrature formulas however, higher-order Newton-Cotes…
A method of deriving quadrature rules has been developed which gives nodes and weights for a Gaussian-type rule which integrates functions of the form: f(x,y,t) = a(x,y,t)/((x-t)^2+y^2) + b(x,y,t)/([(x-t)^2+y^2]^{1/2}) +…
Simple proofs of the midpoint, trapezoidal and Simpson's rules are proved for numerical integration on a compact interval. The integrand is assumed to be twice continuously differentiable for the midpoint and trapezoidal rules, and to be…
For the class of polynomial quadrature rules we show that conveniently chosen bases allow to compute both the weights and the theoretical error expression of a $n$-point rule via the undetermined coefficients method. As an illustration, the…
The standard design principle for quadrature formulas is that they should be exact for integrands of a given class, such as polynomials of a fixed degree. We show how this principle fails to predict the actual behavior in four cases:…

Consider systems of equations $q_i(x)=0$, where $q_i: {\Bbb R}^n \longrightarrow {\Bbb R}$, $i=1, \ldots, m$, are quadratic forms. Our goal is to tell efficiently systems with many non-trivial solutions or near-solutions $x \ne 0$ from…
In order to approximate the Riemann--Stieltjes integral $\int_a^b {f\left( t \right)dg\left( t \right)}$ by $2$--point Gaussian quadrature rule, we introduce the quadrature rule \begin{align*} \int_{ - 1}^1 {f\left( t \right)dg\left( t…
The textbook Newton's iteration is practically inapplicable on solutions of nonlinear systems with singular Jacobians. By a simple modification, a novel extension of Newton's iteration regains its local quadratic convergence toward…
We introduce a new type of quadrature, known as approximate Gaussian quadrature (AGQ) rules using {\epsilon}-quasiorthogonality, for the approximation of integrals of the form \int f(x)d \alpha(x). The measure {\alpha}(\cdot) can be…
We propose in this paper New Q-Newton's method. The update rule is very simple conceptually, for example $x_{n+1}=x_n-w_n$ where $w_n=pr_{A_n,+}(v_n)-pr_{A_n,-}(v_n)$, with $A_n=\nabla ^2f(x_n)+\delta _n||\nabla f(x_n)||^2.Id$ and…
