JACOBI_EXACTNESS is a C++ program which investigates the polynomial exactness of a Gauss-Jacobi quadrature rule for the interval [-1,1] with a weight function.
The Gauss-Jacobi quadrature rule is designed to approximate integrals on the interval [-1,1], with a weight function of the form (1-x)ALPHA * (1+x)BETA. ALPHA and BETA are real parameters that must be greater than -1.
Gauss-Jacobi quadrature assumes that the integrand we are considering has a form like:
Integral ( -1 <= x <= +1 ) (1-x)^alpha (1+x)^beta f(x) dx
For a Gauss-Jacobi rule, polynomial exactness is defined in terms of the function f(x). That is, we say the rule is exact for polynomials up to degree DEGREE_MAX if, for any polynomial f(x) of that degree or less, the quadrature rule will produce the exact value of
Integral ( -1 <= x <= +1 ) (1-x)^alpha (1+x)^beta f(x) dx
The program starts at DEGREE = 0, and then proceeds to DEGREE = 1, 2, and so on up to a maximum degree DEGREE_MAX specified by the user. At each value of DEGREE, the program generates the corresponding monomial term, applies the quadrature rule to it, and determines the quadrature error.
The program is very flexible and interactive. The quadrature rule is defined by three files, to be read at input, and the maximum degree top be checked is specified by the user as well.
Note that the three files that define the quadrature rule are assumed to have related names, of the form
For information on the form of these files, see the QUADRATURE_RULES directory listed below.
The exactness results are written to an output file with the corresponding name:
jacobi_exactness prefix degree_max alpha betawhere
If the arguments are not supplied on the command line, the program will prompt for them.
