legendre.quadrature.rules: Create list of Legendre quadrature rules

Description

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

Usage

legendre.quadrature.rules(n,normalized=FALSE)

Arguments

n

integer value for the 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 Legendre polynomial

2

Quadrature rule data frame for the order 2 Legendre polynomial

...

n

Quadrature rule data frame for the order $n$ Legendre 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.
