On Some Numerical Integration Formulas on the d-Dimensional Simplex

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we consider the problem of the approximation of the integral of a function f over a d-dimensional simplex S of $$\mathbb {R}^{d}$$ R d by some quadrature formulas which use only the functional and derivative values of f on the boundary of the simplex S or function data at the vertices of S, at points on its facets and at its center of gravity. The quadrature formulas are computed by integrating over S a polynomial approximant of f which uses functional and derivative values at the vertices of S.
