Gaussian Quadrature is a well known technique for numerical integration. Recently Gaussian quadrature with respect to discrete measures corresponding to finite sums have found some new interest. In this paper we apply these ideas to…
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…
In Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, Gauss studied binary quadratic forms and introduced a very general version of a composition operator that allows composing even forms of different discriminants and imprimitive forms. Section V of…
Gauss quadrature integral approximation is extended to include integrals with a measure consisting of continuous as well as discrete components. That is, we give an approximation for the integral of a function plus its sum over a discrete…
The classical quadratic Gauss sum can be thought of as an exponential sum attached to a quadratic form on a cyclic group. We introduce an equivariant version of Gauss sum for arbitrary finite quadratic forms, which is an exponential sum…
Newton, in notes that he would rather not have seen published, described a process for solving simultaneous equations that later authors applied specifically to linear equations. This method that Euler did not recommend, that Legendre…
Number theory as a coherent mathematical subject started with the work of Fermat in the decade from 1630 to 1640, but modern number theory, that is, the systematic and mathematically rigorous development of the subject from fundamental…
Bayesian quadrature is a probabilistic, model-based approach to numerical integration, the estimation of intractable integrals, or expectations. Although Bayesian quadrature was popularised already in the 1980s, no systematic and…
We consider the approximation of the inverse square root of regularly accretive operators in Hilbert spaces. The approximation is of rational type and comes from the use of the Gauss-Legendre rule applied to a special integral formulation…
A novel development is given of the theory of Gaussian quadrature, not relying on the theory of orthogonal polynomials. A method is given for computing the nodes and weights that is manifestly independent of choice of basis in the space of…
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}) +…
The Gaussian curvature $K$ is a fundamental geometric quantity discovered by Gauss in the case of surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$. One can naturally extend the definition of the Gaussian curvature to arbitrary submanifolds of…
The purpose of this note is to provide an alternative proof of two quadratic transformation formulas contiguous to that of Gauss using a differential equation approach.
This essay, an excerpt of the author's Ph.D. in Philosophy of mathematics (2012) thought of as being a companion to recent discoveries of new explicit Cartan geometry curvatures, analyzes how Gauss, after having devised the isometrically…
Computation of moments of transformed random variables is a problem appearing in many engineering applications. The current methods for moment transformation are mostly based on the classical quadrature rules which cannot account for the…
Gaussian quadrature rules are a classical tool for the numerical approximation of integrals with smooth integrands and positive weight functions. We derive and expicitly list asymptotic expressions for the points and weights of Gaussian…
This exposition reviews what exactly Gauss asserted and what did he prove in the last chapter of {\sl Disquisitiones Arithmeticae} about dividing the circle into a given number of equal parts. In other words, what did Gauss claim and…
A new type of quadrature is developed. The Gaussian quadrature, for a given measure, finds optimal values of a function's argument (nodes) and the corresponding weights. In contrast, the Lebesgue quadrature developed in this paper, finds…
This is a translation of Euler's Latin paper "De fractionibus continuis observationes" into English. In this paper Euler describes his theory of continued fractions. He teaches, how to transform series into continued fractions, solves the…
