WEDGE_EXACTNESS
Precision Test for Wedge Quadrature Rules

WEDGE_EXACTNESS, a MATLAB program which measures the precision of a quadrature rule over the interior of the unit wedge in 3D.

The interior of the unit wedge in 3D is defined by the constraints:

        0 <= X
        0 <= Y
             X + Y <= 1
       -1 <= Z <= +1
      

Usage:

wedge_exactness filename degree_max

• filename is the common prefix of the filenames containing the abscissas and the weights of the quadrature rule.
• degree_max is the maximum degree of the monomials to be checked.
