Abstract

We consider families of general four-point quadrature formulae using a generalization of the Montgomery identity via Taylor’s formula. The results are applied to obtain some sharp inequalities for functions whose derivatives belong to spaces. Generalizations of Simpson’s 3/8 formula and the Lobatto four-point formula with related inequalities are considered as special cases.

Summary

Introduction

The most elementary quadrature rules in four nodes are Simpson’s 3/8 rule based on the following four point formula b f t dt a b−a 8 fa. The obtained formula is used to prove a number of inequalities which give error estimates for the general four-point formula for functions whose derivatives are from Lp-spaces. Identity 2.2 holds true in the case n 1 It can be obtained by taking x ≡ a, x ≡ x, x ≡ a b − x and x ≡ b in 1.5 , multiplying these four formulae by 1/2 − A x , A x , A x and 1/2 − A x , respectively, and adding. For the proof of sharpness, we will find a function f such that b
