hermite.h.quadrature.rules: Create list of Hermite quadrature rules

Description

This function returns a list with \(n\) elements containing the order \(n\) quadrature rule data frame for the Hermite polynomials for orders \(k = 1,\;2,\; \ldots ,\;n\).

Usage

hermite.h.quadrature.rules(n,normalized=FALSE)

Arguments

n

integer highest order

normalized

boolean value. if TRUE rules are for orthonormal polynomials, otherwise they are for orthgonal polynomials

Value

A list with \(n\) elements each of which is a data frame

1

Quadrature rule data frame for the order 1 Hermite polynomial

2

Quadrature rule data frame for the order 2 Hermite polynomial

...

n

Quadrature rule data frame for the order \(n\) Hermite polynomial

Details

An order \(k\) quadrature data frame is a named data frame that contains the roots and abscissa values of the corresponding order \(k\) orthogonal polynomial. The column with name x contains the roots or zeros and the column with name w contains the weights.
