Abstract

The numerical construction of the Kronrod extension to then-points Gauss-Gegenbauer integration rule and some extensions of Radau and Lobatto type are considered. A program for their purpose is described and some numerical examples are reported.

Zusammenfassung

Wir behandeln die numerische Konstruktion der von Kronrod stammenden Verallgemeinerung dern-Punkte-Integrationsformeln Gauß-Gegenbauer; daneben werden auch einige Verallgemeinerungen vom Radauschen und vom Lobattoschen Typ betrachtet. Ein entsprechendes Programm wird beschrieben, zusammen mit numerischen Testbeispielen.
