TRIANGULATION_QUAD
Integral Estimate Over a Triangulated Region


TRIANGULATION_QUAD is a FORTRAN90 program which reads information defining a triangulation, and estimates the integral of a function whose values are given at the nodes.

Note that this program only expects to recieve values of the function f(x,y) at the nodes of the triangulation, that is, as a simple list of values. No formula for f is expected or used. A much better estimate for the integral might be possible if a formula for f(x,y) were available, in which case a higher order quadrature scheme could be employed.

This program should be able to compute exactly the integrals of 1, x, y, and any linear combination of these. It will only be able to approximate the integrals of other functions, and the accuracy of the approximation will depend in part on the size of the triangles in the triangulation.

Usage:

triangulation_quad prefix
where 'prefix' is the common prefix for the node, element, and value files.
