Optimization of approximate integration of rapidly oscillating functions (Q1084599)

The author considers the quadrature formula \[ \int^{1}_{0}f(x)\sin m\pi xdx=\sum^{n+1}_{k=0}p_ kf(x_ k)+R(f,X,P,m),\quad n\geq m\geq 1, \] where \(X=(x_ 0,...,x_{n+1})\), \(0=x_ 0<x_ 1<...<x_{n+1}=1\), \(P=(p_ 0,...,p_{n+1})\). Let \(V_ M\) be the class of functions defined on [0,1] whose total variation on [0,1] is less than M. One denotes \(\xi (V_ M,m)=\inf_{X,P}\sup_{f\in V_ M}| R(f,X,P,m)|.\) The main result: \(\xi (V_ M,m)=M/(m\pi ([\frac{n}{m}]+1)).\) The author constructs the vectors \(X_ 0\) and \(P_ 0\) which realizes the infimum above.
