Asymptotic estimates for the error of the Gauss-Legendre quadrature formula
Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology, Hauz Khas, New Delhi, India
Estimates for the error of the Gauss-Legendre quadrature are obtained, for large n, by Davis' method employing the double as well as the line integral norms. It is shown that the error estimate derived through the line integral norm is better than that obtained through the double integral norm; in fact, the latter estimate over-estimates the error nearly by a factor of (2n + 1)1/2.
