TRIANGLE_LYNESS_RULE
Quadrature Rules for the Triangle

TRIANGLE_LYNESS_RULE, a MATLAB library which produces the Lyness-Jespersen family of quadrature rules over the interior of a triangle in 2D.

The rules have the following orders (number of points) and precisions (maximum degree of polynomials whose integrals they can compute exactly):

Rule	Order	Precision
0	1	1
1	3	2
2	4	2
3	4	3
4	7	3
5	6	4
6	10	4
7	9	4
8	7	5
9	10	5
10	12	6
11	16	6
12	13	6
13	13	7
14	16	7
15	16	8
16	21	8
17	16	8
18	19	9
19	22	9
20	27	11
21	28	11
