Abstract

The zeros of type II multiple orthogonal polynomials can be used for quadrature formulas that approximate rr integrals of the same function ff with respect to rr measures μ1,,μr\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_r in the spirit of Gaussian quadrature. This was first suggested by Borges in 1994, even though he does not mention multiple orthogonality. We give a method to compute the quadrature nodes and the quadrature weights which extends the Golub-Welsch approach using the eigenvalues and left and right eigenvectors of a banded Hessenberg matrix. This method was already described by Coussement and Van Assche in 2005 but it seems to have gone unnoticed. We describe the result in detail for r=2r=2 and give some examples.
