Abstract

We present an efficient solution to the following problem, of relevance in a numerical optimization scheme: calculation of integrals of the type T{f0}ϕ1ϕ2dxdy\iint_{T \cap \{f\ge0\}} \phi_1\phi_2 \, dx\,dy for quadratic polynomials f,ϕ1,ϕ2f,\phi_1,\phi_2 on a plane triangle TT. The naive approach would involve consideration of the many possible shapes of T{f0}T\cap\{f\geq0\} (possibly after a convenient transformation) and parameterizing its border, in order to integrate the variables separately. Our solution involves partitioning the triangle into smaller triangles on which integration is much simpler.
