A quadrature formula of highest algebraic degree of accuracy for the interval $[a,b]=[-1,1]$ and weight $p(x)=1$ with two fixed nodes: the end-points of $[-1,1]$. The Lobatto quadrature formula has the form

$$\int\limits_{-1}^1f(x)\,dx\cong A[f(-1)+f(1)]+\sum_{j=1}^nC_jf(x_j).$$

The points $x_j$ are the roots of the polynomial $P_n^{(1,1)}(x)$ (a Jacobi polynomial), orthogonal on $[-1,1]$ with respect to the weight $1-x^2$, $A=2/(n+1)(n+2)$ and $C_j>0$. The algebraic degree of accuracy is $2n+1$. A table of nodes and coefficients of the Lobatto quadrature formula for $n=1(1)15$ ($n$ varies from 1 to 15 with step 1) was given in [2] (see also [3]).

The formula was established by R. Lobatto (see [1]).
