glaguerre.quadrature: Perform Gauss Laguerre quadrature

Description

This function evaluates the integral of the given function between the lower and upper limits using the weight and abscissa values specified in the rule data frame. The quadrature formula uses the weight function for generalized Laguerre polynomials.

Usage

glaguerre.quadrature(functn, rule, alpha = 0, lower = 0, upper = Inf, 
weighted = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

functn

an R function which should take a numeric argument x and possibly some parameters. The function returns a numerical vector value for the given argument x.

rule

a data frame containing the order \(n\) generalized Laguerre quadrature rule

alpha

numeric value for the generalized Laguerre polynomial parameter

lower

numeric value for the lower limit of the integral with a default value of 0

upper

numeric value for the upper limit of the integral with a default value of Inf

weighted

a boolean value which if true causes the generalized Laguerre weight function to be included in the integrand

…

other arguments passed to the give function

Value

The value of definite integral evaluated using Gauss Laguerre quadrature

Details

The rule argument corresponds to an order \(n\) generalized Laguerre polynomial, weight function and interval \(\left[ {0,\infty } \right)\). The one limit of the integral must be finite and the other must be infinite.
