Summary

For functions with an interior singularity, the errors of a class of positive quadrature formulae with high algebraic degree are reduced to those of the much simpler ‘Euler-Maclaurin type formulae’. Applying this method to certain classes of functions, such as, for example,f(x)=h(x)|x-u| β, where β>−1, with a sufficiently smooth functionh, we obtain the main term of the error expansion for quadrature rules of ultraspherical type.
