The trapezoidal rule for analytic functions of rapid decrease (Q1824979)

The aim of the paper is to give estimates for the error of the trapezoidal rule for smooth functions of rapid decrease (e.g. \(| f(z)| \leq M \exp (\alpha | z|^{\beta}),\) \(\alpha >0\), \(\beta\geq 2\), \(z\in {\mathbb{C}})\). Inequalities of the form \(| \int^{\infty}_{-\infty}f(x)dx-\sum^{N}_{k=-N}f(kh)| \leq C(N)\exp (-\gamma_ N)\) and of similar formulas for transformed rules are obtained in case that f is analytic in a strip about the real axis of width d or f is analytic in a transformed set. The choice of the mesh size h is optimized for each of these rules. C(N) is growing at most algebraically with N. The last section considers the implementation of the rules obtained above in the case that f is not entire.
