Radau quadrature formula
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
A quadrature formula of highest algebraic accuracy for the interval 
and with weight 
, with one fixed node, namely an end point of the interval, say 
. The Radau quadrature formula has the form
 |
The nodes 
are the roots of the Jacobi polynomial 
(the Jacobi polynomials form an orthogonal system on 
with weight 
), and 
. The coefficients 
are positive. The algebraic degree of accuracy is 
. There exist tables of the nodes and coefficients for the Radau quadrature formula, see, for example, [2].
The formula was found by R. Radau [1].
