SIMPLEX_GM_RULE
Grundmann-Moeller Quadrature Rules for the Simplex in M dimensions


SIMPLEX_GM_RULE is a C++ library which defines Grundmann-Moeller quadrature rules over the interior of a simplex in M dimensions.

The user can choose the spatial dimension M, thus defining the region to be a triangle (M = 2), tetrahedron (M = 3) or a general M-dimensional simplex.

The user chooses the index S of the rule. Rules are available with index S = 0 on up. A rule of index S will exactly integrate any polynomial of total degree 2*S+1 or less.

The rules are defined on the unit M-dimensional simplex. A simple linear transformation can be used to map the vertices and weights to an arbitrary simplex, while preserving the accuracy of the rule.
