SANDIA_CUBATURE
Numerical Integration
in M Dimensions


SANDIA_CUBATURE is a MATLAB library which implements quadrature rules for certain multidimensional regions and weight functions.

We consider the following integration regions:

The available rules for region EN_HER all have odd precision, ranging from 1 to 11. Some of these rules are valid for any spatial dimension N. However, many of these rules are restricted to a limited range, such as 2 <= N < 6. Some of the rules have two forms; in that case, the particular form is selectable by setting an input argument OPTION to 1 or 2. Finally, note that in multidimensional integration, the dependence of the order O (number of abscissas) on the spatial dimension N is critical. Rules for which the order is a multiple of 2^N are not practical for large values of N. The source code for each rule lists its formula for the order as a function of N.
