Sub gl8tests

Title

Tests code for 8-point Gaussian quadrature rule

Description

Tests the weights and points of the Gaussian quadrature rule.

1

() ( )
0

=1

Obtained from the routine gl8.bas. The codes are tested on the functions
() = ( + 1) for = 1. .15, for which the integal is 1 and in Gaussian
quadrature the solution for polynomials up to one degree less than twice
the number of points is exact (if we ignore rounding error). The test code
compares the result of the integration to one in each case.
