Gauss type quadrature rules for Cauchy principal value integrals

Abstract

Two quadrature rules for the approximate evaluation of Cauchy principal value integrals, with nodes at the zeros of appropriate orthogonal polynomials, are discussed. An expression for the truncation error, in terms of higher order derivatives, is given for each rule. In addition, two theorems, containing sufficient conditions for the convergence of the sequence of quadrature rules to the integral, are proved.
