Abstract

We study a new simple quadrature rule based on integrating a C 1 quadratic spline quasi-interpolant on a bounded interval. We give nodes and weights for uniform and non-uniform partitions. We also give error estimates for smooth functions and we show that our formula is a useful companion to Simpson’s rule.
