CHEBYSHEV1_RULE
Gauss-Chebyshev Type 1 Quadrature Rules

CHEBYSHEV1_RULE is a C++ program which can generate a specific Gauss-Chebyshev type 1 quadrature rule, based on user input.

The rule is written to three files for easy use as input to other programs.

The Gauss Chevbyshev type 1 quadrature rule is used as follows:

        Integral ( A <= x <= B ) f(x) / sqrt ( ( x - A ) * ( B - x ) ) dx
      

        Sum ( 1 <= i <= order ) w(i) * f(x(i))
      

Usage:

chebyshev1_rule order a b filename

• order is the number of points in the quadrature rule.
• a is the left endpoint;
• b is the right endpoint.
• filename specifies the output files: filename_w.txt, filename_x.txt, and filename_r.txt, containing the weights, abscissas, and interval limits.
