GEN_LAGUERRE_RULE
Generalized Gauss-Laguerre Quadrature Rules


GEN_LAGUERRE_RULE is a FORTRAN90 program which generates a specific generalized Gauss-Laguerre quadrature rule, based on user input.

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

The generalized Gauss-Laguerre quadrature rule is used as follows:

        Integral ( A <= x < +oo ) |x-a|^alpha * exp(-b*(x-a)) f(x) dx
      
is to be approximated by
        Sum ( 1 <= i <= order ) w(i) * f(x(i))
      

Usage:

gen_laguerre_rule order alpha a b filename
