Optimal error estimates for corrected trapezoidal rules

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Corrected trapezoidal rules are proved for intabf(x),dx under the assumption that for some 1leqpleqinfty. Such quadrature rules involve the trapezoidal rule modified by the addition of a term k[f′(a)−f′(b)]. The coefficient k in the quadrature formula is found that minimizes the error estimates. It is shown that when f′ is merely assumed to be continuous then the optimal rule is the trapezoidal rule itself. In this case error estimates are in terms of the Alexiewicz norm. This includes the case when is integrable in the Henstock--Kurzweil sense or as a distribution. All error estimates are shown to be sharp for the given assumptions on . It is shown how to make these formulas exact for all cubic polynomials f. Composite formulas are computed for uniform partitions.
