Abstract

In this paper we construct an interpolatory quadrature formula of the type

$$\mathop {\rlap{--} \smallint }\limits_{ - 1}^1 \frac{{f'(x)}}{{y - x}}dx \approx \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {w_{ni} (y)f(x_{ni} )} ,$$

wheref(x)=(1−x)α(1+x)β f o(x), α, β>0, and {x ni} are then zeros of then-th degree Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind,T n (x). We also give a convergence result and examine the behavior of the quantity\( \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {|w_{ni} (y)|} \) asn→∞.

Zusammenfassung

In dieser Arbeit konstruieren wir eine interpolatorische Quadraturformel der Form

$$\mathop {\rlap{--} \smallint }\limits_{ - 1}^1 \frac{{f'(x)}}{{y - x}}dx \approx \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {w_{ni} (y)f(x_{ni} )} ,$$

wobeif(x)=(1−x)α(1+x)β f 0(x), α, β>0, und {xni} dien Nullstellen des Chebyshevpolynomsn-ten Grades vom ersten TypT n (x) sind. Ferner geben wir ein Konvergenzergebnis an und untersuchen das Verhalten der Größe\( \sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {|w_{ni} (y)|} \), fürn→∞.
