2. Newton-Cotes Integration Formula
Replacing the complicated integrand function or tabulated data by
an approximating function such as a polynomial.
f(x)

Replacing by a
straight line

These formulas are applicable to both closed forms (i.e., data points
at the beginning and end of the integration limits are known) and
open forms (otherwise).
These formulas are applied for equally spaced intervals.

replaced by a first order polynomial
(straight line).

Normally, we don’t have the knowledge of the true error; we can calculate the
approximate error. We need to calculate the second derivative of the function:

6. Multiple-application trapezoidal rule:
We can increase the accuracy of the integration by dividing the
interval into many segments and apply the trapezoidal rule to
each segment.

For n+1 equally spaced base
points, there are n segments of
step size:

Multiple application Simpson’s rule returns very accurate results
compare to trapezoidal rule. It is the method of choice for most
applications.
As for all Newton-Cotes formulas, the intervals must be equally
spaced.
Because of the need for three points for applications, the method
is limited to odd number of points (even number of segments).

15. Simpson’s 3/8 rule
Simpson’s 3/8 rule is used when the odd-number of segments
are encountered.
A third-order polynomial is used for replacing the function.

(4)
6480
Simpson’s 3/8 rule is
somewhat more
accurate than 1/3 rule
In general Simpson’s 1/3 rule is the method of choice because of
obtaining third order accuracy and using three points instead of
four.
3/8 rule has the utility when the number of segments is odd.
In practice, use 1/3 rule for all the even number of segments and
use 3/8 rule for the remaining last three segments.
Higher-order Newton-Cotes formulas:
Higher order (n=4,5) formulas have the same order error as n=1
(Trapezoid) or n=2,3 (Simpson’s) formulas.
Higher-order formulas are rarely used in engineering practices.
To increase the accuracy, just increase the number of segments!
17. Integration with Unequal Segments
There may be cases where the spacing between data points may
not be even (e.g., experimentally derived data points)
One way is to use trapezoidal rule for each segment
I
h1
f ( x0 )
f ( x1 )
2
h2
f ( x1 )
f ( x2 )
2
..
hn
f ( xn 1 )
f ( xn )
2
width of the segments (h) are not constant so the
formula cannot be written in a compact form.
A computer algorithm can easily be developed to do the
integration for unequal-sized segments.
The algorithm can be constructed such that, use Simpson’s 1/3
rule wherever two consecutive equal-sized segments are
encountered, and use 3/8 rule wherever three consecutive
equal-sized segments are encountered. When adjacent
segments are unequal-sized , just use trapezoidal rule.
18. Open Integration Formulas
There may be cases where
integration limits are beyond the
f(x)
range of the data.
General characteristics and order of
error for open forms of the NewtonCotes formulas are similar to the
closed forms.
Even segment formulas are usually
the method of choice as they
require fewer points.
a
b
x
Open forms are not used for definite integration.
They have utility for analyzing improper integrals (discussed later).
They have connection to multi-step method for solving ordinary
differential equations.
19. Integration of Equations
Use of multiple-application of
trapezoidal and Simpson’s rules are
not convenient for analyzing
integration of functions.
> Large number of operations
required to evaluate the functions.
> For large values of n, round of
errors starts to dominate.
Percent relative error
Previously discussed methods are appropriate for tabulated data.
If the function to be integrated is available, other modified
methods are available.

20. Romberg Integration
It uses the trapezoidal rule, but much more efficient results are
obtained through iterative refinement techniques .
Richardson’s extrapolation:
A sequence acceleration method to improve the rate of
convergence.
It offers a very practical tool for numerical integration and
differentiation.

error at each iteration. For each iteration

to compute a third more accurate integral.

It can be shown that the error for above approximation is O(h4)
although the error from use of trapezoidal rule is O(h2).

24. The method can be generalized, e.g. combine two O(h4)
approximation to obtain an O(h2) approximation, and so on…

examples, we can use the following formula

26. Gauss Quadrature

data are used. Points of integration are covered by the data.
In Gauss quadrature, points of integration are undetermined.

For the example above, integral approximation can be improved
by using two wisely chosen interior points.
Gauss quadrature offer a method to find these points.
27. Method of undetermined coefficients:
Assume two points (x0, x1) so that the
integral can be written in the form
I
c0 f ( x0 )
f(x)
f(x1)
f(x0)
c1 f ( x1 )
c‘s: constants
-1
x0
x1
1
This requires calculation of four unknowns.
We choose these four equations according to our preference.
We can choose a function value that is exact to third order.

c1 f ( x1 )

limits can be made -1..1 for
any integral by a simple
change of variables.

These equations are
subsituted into the

transfrom into suitable

First, perform a change of variable to convert the limits -1..1:

Substitute into the original equation to get:

Higher-point versions of Gauss quadrature can be developed in the
form

38. Richardson Extrapolation:
As done for the integration, Richardson extrapolation uses two
derivatives of different step sizes to obtain a more accurate
derivative.
In a similar fashion applied for the integration, use two step sizes
such that h2=h1/2. Richardson extrapolation recursive formula:
D

O(h4)
D ( h2 )

O(h2) [centered difference scheme]
The approach can be iteratively used by Romberg algorithm to get
higher accuracies.

40. Derivatives of Unequally Spaced Data
In the previous discussion, both finite difference approximations
and Richardson extrapolation reqires evenly distributed data. So,
these methods are more suitable to evaulate functions.
Emprically derived data, experimental or from field surveys, are
usually not even.
One way is to fit a second-order Lagrange interpolating polynomial
to each set of three data points. Derivative of the polynomial:
2x
'
f ( x)
( xi
1
xi
x i )( x i
xi

f ( xi 1 )

1
xi 1 )
f ( xi )
2x
( xi
1
xi
1
x i 1 )( x i
xi
1
xi )
f ( xi 1 )
Using above formula, any point in the range of three data points
can be evaluated.
This equation has the same accuracy of high-accuracy centered
difference approximation even though data is not need to be
equally spaced.
41. Derivatives and Integrals for Data with Error:
Differentiation process amplifies the error:
y
dy/dt
x
x
As a remedy, fit a smoother function (low-order polynomial) to the
uncertain data.
On the other hand, integration process reduces the error.
(Succusive negative and positive errors cancel out during
integration). No further action is required.
