Abstract: A result of P'olya states that every sequence of quadrature formulas Qn(f) with n nodes and positive numbers converges to the integral I(f) of a continuous function f provided Qn(f)=I(f) for a space of algebraic polynomials of certain degree that depends on n. The classical case when the algebraic degree of precision is the highest possible is well-known and the quadrature formulas are the Gaussian ones whose nodes coincide with the zeros of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials and the numbers are expressed in terms of the so-called kernel polynomials. In many cases it is reasonable to relax the requirement for the highest possible degree of precision in order to gain the possibility to either approximate integrals of more specific continuous functions that contain a polynomial factor or to include additional fixed nodes. The construction of such quadrature processes is related to quasi-orthogonal polynomials. Given a sequence leftPnightngeq0 of monic orthogonal polynomials and a fixed integer k, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions so that the quasi-orthogonal polynomials leftQnightngeq0 defined by [ Q_{n}(x) =P_{n}(x) + sum limits_{i=1}^{k-1} b_{i,n}P_{n-i}(x), ngeq 0, ] with bi,ninmathbbR, and bk1,neq0 for ngeqk1, also constitute a sequence of orthogonal polynomials. Therefore we solve the inverse problem for linearly related orthogonal polynomials. The characterization turns out to be equivalent to some nice recurrence formulas for the coefficients bi,n. We employ these results to establish explicit relations between various types of quadrature rules from the above relations. A number of illustrative examples are provided.
