Problem-1: Expressions for co-efficients of second degree Newton-Cotes integration polynomial

Problem Statement

Using the following equations find the expressions for ${\boldsymbol {c_{i}}}$ in terms of ${\boldsymbol {x_{i}}}$ and ${\boldsymbol {f(x_{i})}}$ where i=0,1,2′′

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {f_{2}(x)=p_{2}(x)=c_{2}x^{2}+c_{1}x+c_{0}}}$

(1 p8-3)

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {p_{2}(x)=\sum _{i=0}^{2}(l_{i}(x)f(x_{i}))}}$

(3 p8-3)

Solution

We have the general formula for the Lagrange basis function ${\boldsymbol {l_{i}(x)}}$ as

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {l_{i}(x)=\prod _{j=0;j\neq i}^{n}\left({\frac {x-x_{j}}{x_{i}-x_{j}}}\right)}}$

(2 p7-3)

for the case of Simple Simpson's Rule, n =2 i.e i=0,1,2. For the given interval $[a,b]$

${\boldsymbol {x_{0}=a}}$

${\boldsymbol {x_{2}=b}}$

${\boldsymbol {x_{1}={\frac {a+b}{2}}}}$

Expanding equation 3 p8-3 we get:

${\boldsymbol {p_{2}(x)=l_{0}(x)f(x_{0})+l_{1}(x)f(x_{1})+l_{2}(x)f(x_{2})}}$ where,

${\boldsymbol {l_{0}(x)=\left({\frac {x-x_{1}}{x_{0}-x_{1}}}\right)\left({\frac {x-x_{2}}{x_{0}-x_{2}}}\right)}}$ ;

${\boldsymbol {l_{1}(x)=\left({\frac {x-x_{0}}{x_{1}-x_{0}}}\right)\left({\frac {x-x_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}}\right)}}$ ;

${\boldsymbol {l_{2}(x)=\left({\frac {x-x_{0}}{x_{2}-x_{0}}}\right)\left({\frac {x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}}\right)}}$

Thus we have the polynomial as ${\boldsymbol {p_{2}(x)=\left({\frac {x^{2}-(x_{2}+x_{1})x+(x_{1}x_{2})}{(x_{0}-x_{1})(x_{0}-x_{2})}}\right)f(x_{0})+\left({\frac {x^{2}-(x_{2}+x_{0})x+(x_{0}x_{2})}{(x_{1}-x_{0})(x_{1}-x_{2})}}\right)f(x_{1})+\left({\frac {x^{2}-(x_{0}+x_{1})x+(x_{1}x_{0})}{(x_{2}-x_{0})(x_{2}-x_{1})}}\right)f(x_{2})}}$

Grouping coefficients of ${\boldsymbol {x^{2},x^{1},x^{0}}}$ , ${\boldsymbol {p_{2}(x)=\left\{{\frac {f(x_{0})}{(x_{0}-x_{1})(x_{0}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{1})}{(x_{1}-x_{0})(x_{1}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{2})}{(x_{2}-x_{0})(x_{2}-x_{1})}}\right\}x^{2}-\left\{{\frac {f(x_{0})[x_{2}+x_{1}]}{(x_{0}-x_{1})(x_{0}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{1})[x_{2}+x_{0}]}{(x_{1}-x_{0})(x_{1}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{2})[x_{1}+x_{0}]}{(x_{2}-x_{0})(x_{2}-x_{1})}}\right\}x+\left\{{\frac {f(x_{0})[x_{1}x_{2}]}{(x_{0}-x_{1})(x_{0}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{1})[x_{0}x_{2}]}{(x_{1}-x_{0})(x_{1}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{2})[x_{0}x_{1}]}{(x_{2}-x_{0})(x_{2}-x_{1})}}\right\}}}$

Comparing this equation with eqn 1p8-3 we see that

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {c_{2}=\left\{{\frac {f(x_{0})}{(x_{0}-x_{1})(x_{0}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{1})}{(x_{1}-x_{0})(x_{1}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{2})}{(x_{2}-x_{0})(x_{2}-x_{1})}}\right\}}}$

(1)

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {c_{1}=-\left\{{\frac {f(x_{0})[x_{2}+x_{1}]}{(x_{0}-x_{1})(x_{0}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{1})[x_{2}+x_{0}]}{(x_{1}-x_{0})(x_{1}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{2})[x_{1}+x_{0}]}{(x_{2}-x_{0})(x_{2}-x_{1})}}\right\}}}$

(2)

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {c_{0}=\left\{{\frac {f(x_{0})[x_{1}x_{2}]}{(x_{0}-x_{1})(x_{0}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{1})[x_{0}x_{2}]}{(x_{1}-x_{0})(x_{1}-x_{2})}}+{\frac {f(x_{2})[x_{0}x_{1}]}{(x_{2}-x_{0})(x_{2}-x_{1})}}\right\}}}$

(3)

Inference: This solution essentially shows the equivalence of the two methods for the Simpson's rule i.e. cubic polynomial and using Lagrange basis functions.

Problem-2: Application of Newton-Cotes method to derive the simple Simpson's rule

P. 9-1 of Lecture 9 Notes

Problem Statement

Derive the simple Simpson's rule using Eq.(4) on slide 8-3 Lecture-8 notes i.e. the second degree polynomial of Newton-Cotes method: $P_{2}\left(x\right)=\sum _{i=0}^{2}l_{i}\left(x\right)f\left(x_{i}\right)$

Solution

$I_{2}\left(f\right)$	$=\int _{x_{0}}^{x_{2}}f_{2}\left(x\right).dx=\int _{x_{0}}^{x_{2}}P_{2}\left(x\right).dx$
	$=\int _{x_{0}}^{x_{2}}\sum _{i=0}^{2}l_{i}\left(x\right)\cdot f\left(x_{i}\right)\cdot dx$
	$=\int _{x_{0}}^{x_{2}}\left[l_{0}\left(x\right)\cdot f\left(x_{0}\right)+l_{1}\left(x\right)\cdot f\left(x_{1}\right)+l_{2}\left(x\right)\cdot f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]\cdot dx$

But we know that $l_{i}\left(x\right)=\prod _{j=0\;\;j\neq i}^{j=2}{\frac {x-x_{j}}{x_{i}-x_{j}}}$

So we get the values of $l_{0}\left(x\right),l_{1}\left(x\right)$ and $l_{2}\left(x\right)$ as follows:

$l_{0}\left(x\right)=\left({\frac {x-x_{1}}{x_{0}-x_{1}}}\right)\left({\frac {x-x_{2}}{x_{0}-x_{2}}}\right)$

$l_{1}\left(x\right)=\left({\frac {x-x_{0}}{x_{1}-x_{0}}}\right)\left({\frac {x-x_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}}\right)$

$l_{2}\left(x\right)=\left({\frac {x-x_{0}}{x_{2}-x_{0}}}\right)\left({\frac {x-x_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}}\right)$

But we know that $x_{1}={\frac {\left(x_{0}+x_{2}\right)}{2}}$ or $2x_{1}=\left(x_{0}+x_{2}\right)$

$\therefore l_{0}\left(x\right)={\frac {\left(2x-x_{0}-x_{2}\right)}{\left(2x_{0}-x_{0}-x_{2}\right)}}{\frac {\left(x-x_{2}\right)}{\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)}}={\frac {2x^{2}-\left(3x_{2}+x_{0}\right)x+\left(x_{2}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)}{\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}$

Similarily by substituting the value of $x_{1}$ in the equations of $l_{1}\left(x\right)$ and $l_{2}\left(x\right)$ , we get:

$l_{1}\left(x\right)={\frac {-4\left(x^{2}-\left(x_{0}+x_{2}\right)x+x_{0}x_{2}\right)}{\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}$

$l_{2}\left(x\right)={\frac {\left(2x-x_{0}-x_{2}\right)}{\left(2x_{2}-x_{0}-x_{2}\right)}}{\frac {\left(x-x_{0}\right)}{\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}}={\frac {2x^{2}-\left(3x_{0}+x_{2}\right)x+\left(x_{0}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)}{\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}$

Now plugging back the values of $l_{0}\left(x\right),l_{1}\left(x\right)$ and $l_{2}\left(x\right)$ in the Equation for $I_{2}\left(f\right)$ , we get:

$I_{2}\left(f\right)=\int _{x_{0}}^{x_{2}}\left[\left({\frac {2x^{2}-\left(3x_{2}+x_{0}\right)x+\left(x_{2}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)}{\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}\right)\cdot f\left(x_{0}\right)+\left({\frac {-4\left(x^{2}-\left(x_{0}+x_{2}\right)x+x_{0}x_{2}\right)}{\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}\right)\cdot f\left(x_{1}\right)+\left({\frac {2x^{2}-\left(3x_{0}+x_{2}\right)x+\left(x_{0}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)}{\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}\right)\cdot f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]\cdot dx$

Now isolating the $x^{2}$ terms, $x$ terms and constant terms, we get three consolidated terms as follows:

Term-1: $x^{2}$ -term

${\frac {x^{2}}{\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}\left[2f\left(x_{0}\right)-4f\left(x_{1}\right)+2f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]$

Integrating this term between limits $x_{0}$ and $x_{2}$ , we get:

${\frac {x_{2}^{3}-x_{0}^{3}}{3\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}\left[2f\left(x_{0}\right)-4f\left(x_{1}\right)+2f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]={\frac {\left(x_{2}^{2}+x_{0}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)}{3\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)}}\left[2f\left(x_{0}\right)-4f\left(x_{1}\right)+2f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]$

Term-2: $x$ -term

${\frac {-x}{\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}\left[\left(3x_{2}+x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{0}\right)-4\left(x_{2}+x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{1}\right)+\left(3x_{0}+x_{2}\right)f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]$

Integrating this term between limits $x_{0}$ and $x_{2}$ , we get:

${\frac {x_{2}^{2}-x_{0}^{2}}{2\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}\left[\left(3x_{2}+x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{0}\right)-4\left(x_{2}+x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{1}\right)+\left(3x_{0}+x_{2}\right)f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]={\frac {x_{2}+x_{0}}{2\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}}\left[\left(3x_{2}+x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{0}\right)-4\left(x_{2}+x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{1}\right)+\left(3x_{0}+x_{2}\right)f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]$

Term-3: Constant term

${\frac {1}{\left(x_{0}-x_{2}\right)^{2}}}\left[\left(x_{2}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{0}\right)-4\left(x_{2}x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{1}\right)+\left(x_{0}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]$

Integrating this term between limits $x_{0}$ and $x_{2}$ , we get:

${\frac {x_{2}-x_{0}}{\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)^{2}}}\left[\left(x_{2}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{0}\right)-4\left(x_{2}x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{1}\right)+\left(x_{0}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]={\frac {1}{\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}}\left[\left(x_{2}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{0}\right)-4\left(x_{2}x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{1}\right)+\left(x_{0}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right)f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]$

Note that $I_{2}\left(f\right)=Term\;1+Term\;2+Term\;3$

Now consolidating the coefficients of $f\left(x_{0}\right),f\left(x_{1}\right)and\;f\left(x_{2}\right)$ in all the three terms, we get:

Consolidated Coefficient of $f\left(x_{0}\right)$ as:

$={\frac {1}{x_{2}-x_{0}}}\left[{\frac {2}{3}}x_{2}^{2}+{\frac {2}{3}}x_{0}^{2}+{\frac {2}{3}}x_{2}x_{0}-{\frac {3}{2}}x_{2}^{2}-{\frac {1}{2}}x_{2}x_{0}-{\frac {3}{2}}x_{2}x_{0}-{\frac {1}{2}}x_{0}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right]$
$={\frac {1}{x_{2}-x_{0}}}\left[\left(1+{\frac {2}{3}}-{\frac {3}{2}}\right)x_{2}^{2}+\left({\frac {2}{3}}-{\frac {1}{2}}\right)x_{0}^{2}+\left({\frac {2}{3}}-{\frac {1}{2}}-{\frac {3}{2}}+1\right)x_{0}x_{2}\right]$
$={\frac {1}{6\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}}\left[\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)^{2}\right]={\frac {\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}{6}}$

Consolidated Coefficient of $f\left(x_{1}\right)$ as:

$={\frac {1}{x_{2}-x_{0}}}\left[{\frac {-4}{3}}x_{2}^{2}-{\frac {4}{3}}x_{0}^{2}-{\frac {4}{3}}x_{2}x_{0}+{\frac {4}{2}}x_{2}^{2}+{\frac {4}{2}}x_{0}^{2}+\left({\frac {4}{2}}\right)2x_{2}x_{0}-4x_{2}x_{0}\right]$
$={\frac {4}{6\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}}\left[\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)^{2}\right]={\frac {4\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}{6}}$

Consolidated Coefficient of $f\left(x_{2}\right)$ as:

$={\frac {1}{x_{2}-x_{0}}}\left[{\frac {2}{3}}x_{2}^{2}+{\frac {2}{3}}x_{0}^{2}+{\frac {2}{3}}x_{2}x_{0}-{\frac {3}{2}}x_{2}x_{0}-{\frac {3}{2}}x_{0}^{2}-{\frac {1}{2}}x_{2}^{2}-{\frac {1}{2}}x_{2}x_{0}+x_{0}^{2}+x_{2}x_{0}\right]$
$={\frac {1}{x_{2}-x_{0}}}\left[\left({\frac {2}{3}}-{\frac {1}{2}}\right)x_{2}^{2}+\left({\frac {2}{3}}-{\frac {3}{2}}+1\right)x_{0}^{2}+\left({\frac {2}{3}}-{\frac {1}{2}}-{\frac {3}{2}}+1\right)x_{0}x_{2}\right]$
$={\frac {1}{6\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}}\left[\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)^{2}\right]={\frac {\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}{6}}$

Now the value of $I_{2}\left(f\right)$ is the sum of all the consolidated coefficient multiplied by their respective $f\left(x_{i}\right)$ term. i.e.

$I_{2}\left(f\right)$	$={\frac {\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}{6}}\left[f\left(x_{0}\right)\right]+{\frac {4\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}{6}}\left[f\left(x_{1}\right)\right]+{\frac {\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}{6}}\left[f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]$
	$={\frac {\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}{6}}\left[f\left(x_{0}\right)+4f\left(x_{1}\right)+f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]={\frac {h}{3}}\left[f\left(x_{0}\right)+4f\left(x_{1}\right)+f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]$
	$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {={\frac {h}{3}}\left[f\left(x_{0}\right)+4f\left(x_{1}\right)+f\left(x_{2}\right)\right]}}$

Where $h:={\frac {\left(x_{2}-x_{0}\right)}{2}}$

Thus, the simple Simpson's rule is derived using the Lagrange polynomial of second degree.

Problem 6: (n+1)^th derivative of Lagrange Interpolation Error

P. 12-2 reference: Lecture-12 Notes

Problem Statement

For the Lagrange Interpolation Error verify the following:

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {E^{(n+1)}(x)=f^{(n+1)}(x)-0}}$

(1)

Solution

We can write the Lagrange Interpolation error as

${\boldsymbol {E(x)=f(x)-f_{n}(x)}}$

differentiating the above expression once we get

${\boldsymbol {E^{1}(x)=f^{1}(x)-f_{n}^{1}(x)}}$

differentiating the expression (n+1) times we get

${\boldsymbol {E^{n+1}(x)=f^{n+1}(x)-f_{n}^{n+1}(x)}}$

But since ${\boldsymbol {f_{n}(x)}}$ is a polynomial of degree n the (n+1)th derivative is zero

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {E^{n+1}(x)=f^{n+1}(x)-0}}$

Problem-7: Intermediate step in the proof of Error in Newton Cotes method

P. 12-3 (top); reference: Lecture-12 Notes

Problem Statement

To Prove that the $\left(n+1\right)^{th}$ derivative of $q_{n+1}\left(x\right)$ is $\left(n+1\right)!$

Solution

We know that by definition $q_{n+1}\left(x\right)$ is:

$q_{n+1}\left(x\right)=\prod _{j=0}^{n}\left(x-x_{j}\right)$

Expanding the above terms in the product, we get:

$q_{n+1}\left(x\right)=\left(x-x_{0}\right)\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right).....\left(x-x_{n}\right)$

We see that the above expression is a $\left(n+1\right)^{th}$ degree polynomial in $x$

Let it be expressed as:

$q_{n+1}\left(x\right)=x^{n+1}+C_{0}x^{n}+C_{1}x^{n-1}+C_{2}x^{n-2}+.....+C_{n}x^{0}$

Note that here the coefficient of $\;x^{n+1}$ is 1. As we successively differentiate the $q_{n+1}\left(x\right)$ term $\;\left(n+1\right)$ times, all the lower degree terms that are less than $\;\left(n+1\right)$ vanish. Therefore, we are concerned only about the $\;\left(n+1\right)^{th}$ degree term i.e. $\;x^{n+1}$ as we successively differentiate the equation.

${\frac {\mathrm {d} }{\mathrm {d} x}}\left[q_{n+1}\left(x\right)\right]=\left(n+1\right)x^{\left(n+1\right)-1}+other\;terms$

${\frac {\mathrm {d^{2}} }{\mathrm {d} x^{2}}}\left[q_{n+1}\left(x\right)\right]=\left(n+1\right)\left(\left(n+1\right)-1\right)x^{\left(n+1\right)-2}+other\;terms$

$\vdots \qquad \qquad \qquad \vdots \qquad \qquad \qquad \vdots \qquad \qquad \qquad \vdots$
$\vdots \qquad \qquad \qquad \vdots \qquad \qquad \qquad \vdots \qquad \qquad \qquad \vdots$

${\begin{matrix}{\frac {\mathrm {d} ^{n+1}}{\mathrm {d} x^{n+1}}}\left[q_{n+1}\left(x\right)\right]&=&\left(n+1\right)\left(\left(n+1\right)-1\right)\cdots \cdots \left(\left(n+1\right)-n\right)x^{\left(n+1\right)-\left(n+1\right)}\\\\\ &=&\left(n+1\right)\left(\left(n+1\right)-1\right)\cdots \cdots \left(\left(n+1\right)-n\right)\\\\\ &=&\left(n+1\right)\cdot \left(n\right)\cdots \cdots 2\;\cdot 1\\\\\ &=&\left(n+1\right)!\end{matrix}}$

Thus, we proved that the $\left(n+1\right)^{th}$ derivative of $q_{n+1}\left(x\right)$ is $\left(n+1\right)!$

Problem 10: Simple Simpson's Rule Error

P. 13-2

Problem Statement

Show that the Error for the simple simpson's rule is:

$n=2\qquad q_{3}(x)=(x-x_{0})(x-x_{1})(x-x_{2})$

$\left|E_{2}\right|={\frac {(b-a)^{4}}{192}}M_{3}={\frac {2^{4}h^{4}M_{3}}{192}}$

$h={\frac {a+b}{2}}$

Solution

The error can be written:

${\frac {M_{3}}{3!}}\int _{a}^{b}\left|(x-a)(x-{\frac {a+b}{2}})(x-b)\right|dx$

with $x_{0}=a\quad x_{1}={\frac {a+b}{2}}\quad x_{2}=b$

The Integral can be evaluated as follows:

$\int _{a}^{b}\left|(x-a)(x-{\frac {a+b}{2}})(x-b)\right|dx=\int _{a}^{b}(x-a)(x-{\frac {a+b}{2}})(b-x)dx$

$\int _{a}^{b}(xb-x^{2}-ab+xa)(x-{\frac {a+b}{2}}dx$

$\int _{a}^{b}-x^{3}+x^{2}((b+a)+({\frac {a+b}{2}})+x(-ab-b{\frac {a+b}{2}}-a({\frac {b+a}{2}}))+ab({\frac {a+b}{2}})dx$

After algebraic manipulation and simplification the following is obtained:

${\frac {1}{4}}\left[-b^{4}-a^{4}+(2a+2b)(b^{3}-a{3})+(a^{2}+b^{2})(b^{2}-a^{2})+(a+b)(2ab^{2}-2a^{2}b)\right]$

which reduces to:

${\frac {1}{32}}(b-a)^{4}$

This result is used in the error function to yield:

${\frac {(b-a)^{4}}{32}}{\frac {M_{3}}{3!}}={\frac {(b-a)^{4}}{192}}M_{3}={\frac {h^{4}16}{192}}M_{3}$

Solution for problem 10: Guillermo Varela

Problem 11:To show that Simpson's rule can be used to integrate a cubic polynomial exactly

P. 13-3, reference: Lecture-13 Notes

Problem Statement

Given the polynomial ${\boldsymbol {f_{3}(x)=P_{3}(x)=3+8x^{1}-2x^{2}+6x^{3}}}$ where ${\boldsymbol {x\epsilon \left[0,1\right]}}$ determine the exact integral ${\boldsymbol {I}}$ and the integral using Simpson's Rule ${\boldsymbol {I_{n}}}$

Solution

Case A: Determination of Exact Integral

${\boldsymbol {I=\int _{0}^{1}(3+8x-2x^{2}+6x^{3})dx}}$

${\boldsymbol {I=[3x+4x^{2}-{\frac {2}{3}}x^{3}+{\frac {3}{2}}x^{4}]_{0}^{1}}}$

${\boldsymbol {I=3+4-{\frac {2}{3}}+1.5}}$

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {I=7.833}}$

(1)

Case B: Using Simple Simpson's rule

We have the Simple Simpson's rule as

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {I_{2}={\frac {h}{3}}\left\{f(x_{0})+4f(x_{1})+f(x_{2})\right\}}}$

(2 p7-2)

where ${\boldsymbol {h={\frac {a+b}{2}}={\frac {0+1}{2}}=0.5}}$

${\boldsymbol {I_{2}={\frac {0.5}{3}}\left\{f(0)+4f(0.5)+f(1)\right\}}}$ we know ${\boldsymbol {f(0)=3;f(0.5)=7.25;f(1)=15}}$ substituting we get

${\boldsymbol {I_{2}={\frac {0.5}{3}}\left\{3+4(7.25)+15\right\}={\frac {0.5}{3}}\left\{47\right\}}}$

$\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {I_{2}=7.833}}$

(2)

Conclusion

From the above we see that ${\boldsymbol {I=I_{2}=7.833}}$ which proves that the Simpsons rule can integrate a cubic polynomial exactly

Problem-14: An intermediate step in the proof of tight error bound of the simple Simpson's rule

P. 15-2 (bottom), Refer: Lecture-15 Notes

Title

To Prove that: $e^{(3)}\left(t\right)={\frac {-t}{3}}\left[F^{(3)}\left(t\right)-F^{(3)}\left(-t\right)\right]$ which is an intermediate step in the proof of tight error bound of simple Simpson's rule

Solution

We know by the definition $e\left(t\right)$

$e\left(t\right)$	$=\left[\int _{-t}^{t}F\left(\tau \right).d\tau \right]-\left({\frac {t}{3}}\right)\left[F\left(-t\right)+4F\left(0\right)+F\left(t\right)\right]$
	$=\left[\int _{-t}^{k}F\left(\tau \right).d\tau +\int _{k}^{t}F\left(\tau \right).d\tau \right]-\left({\frac {t}{3}}\right)\left[F\left(-t\right)+4F\left(0\right)+F\left(t\right)\right]$

Differentiating with respect to 't', we get:

$e^{(1)}\left(t\right)=\left[F\left(-t\right)+F\left(t\right)\right]-\left({\frac {1}{3}}\right)\left[F\left(-t\right)+4F\left(0\right)+F\left(t\right)\right]-\left({\frac {t}{3}}\right)\left[-{F}'\left(-t\right)+{F}'\left(t\right)\right]$

Again Differentiating with respect to 't', we get:

$e^{(2)}\left(t\right)$	$=\left[-{F}'\left(-t\right)+{F}'\left(t\right)\right]-\left({\frac {1}{3}}\right)\left[-{F}'\left(-t\right)+{F}'\left(t\right)\right]-\left({\frac {1}{3}}\right)\left[-{F}'\left(-t\right)+{F}'\left(t\right)\right]-\left({\frac {t}{3}}\right)\left[{F}''\left(-t\right)+{F}''\left(t\right)\right]$
	$=\left({\frac {1}{3}}\right)\left[-{F}'\left(-t\right)+{F}'\left(t\right)\right]-\left({\frac {t}{3}}\right)\left[{F}''\left(-t\right)+{F}''\left(t\right)\right]$

Again Differentiating with respect to 't', we get:

$e^{(3)}\left(t\right)$	$=\left({\frac {1}{3}}\right)\left[{F}''\left(-t\right)+{F}''\left(t\right)\right]-\left({\frac {1}{3}}\right)\left[{F}''\left(-t\right)+{F}''\left(t\right)\right]-\left({\frac {t}{3}}\right)\left[-{F}'''\left(-t\right)+{F}'''\left(t\right)\right]$
	$={\frac {-t}{3}}\left[{F}'''\left(t\right)-{F}'''\left(-t\right)\right]={\frac {-t}{3}}\left[F^{(3)}\left(t\right)-F^{(3)}\left(-t\right)\right]$

Thus Proved.

Problem-15: Relationship between ζ and ζ ₄

P. 15-3 on Lecture-15 Notes

Problem Statement

Proof:

${\frac {-F^{(4)}(\zeta _{4})}{90}}={\frac {-(b-a)^{4}f^{(4)}(\zeta )}{1440}}$

Solution

Given:

$x(t)=x_{1}+ht\qquad and\qquad h={\frac {b-a}{2}}$

${\frac {dx(t)}{dt}}=h$

$\;F(t)=F(x(t))$

$F^{1}(t)={\frac {df(x(t))}{dt}}={\frac {df(x)}{dx}}{\frac {dx}{dt}}=f^{1}(x)h$

$F^{2}(t)={\frac {df^{1}(x(t))}{dt}}=h{\frac {df^{1}(x)}{dx}}{\frac {dx}{dt}}=f^{2}(x)h^{2}$

$F^{3}(t)={\frac {df^{2}(x(t))}{dt}}=h^{2}{\frac {df^{2}(x)}{dx}}{\frac {dx}{dt}}=f^{3}(x)h^{3}$

$F^{4}(t)={\frac {df^{3}(x(t))}{dt}}=h^{3}{\frac {df^{3}(x)}{dx}}{\frac {dx}{dt}}=f^{4}(x)h^{4}$

The next step is to substitute h, and manipulate the equations as follows:

$F^{4}(t)=f^{4}(x){\frac {(b-a)^{4}}{16}}$

$-F^{4}(\zeta _{4})={\frac {-(b-a)^{4}}{16}}f^{4}(x)$

${\frac {-F^{4}(\zeta _{4})}{90}}={\frac {-(b-a)^{4}}{1440}}F^{4}(x)$

It is then seen that the relation between $\zeta \quad and\quad \zeta _{4}$ must be:

$\;\zeta =x1+h\zeta _{4}$

Using the above equations, we generate plots (as show in the picture below) of the function $f\left(x\right),\;f_{n}\left(x\right)$ for selected values of $\;n=1,2,3,8,12$

3. The following picture is generated using the Matlab code below and from the graph we can observe that the value of $\;I_{n}$ does not converge with increasing value of $\;n$
For each projected dotted line from X-axis on to the blue curve, we have a distinct numerical value of $\;I_{n}$ on the Y-axis. The Exact Integral- $\;I$ is the green straight line on the plot. We can clearly see that there is no convergence in the value of $\;I_{n}$ (on Y-axis) as $\;n$ (on X-axis) value increases.

4. The Values of weights are evaluated by integrated the Lagrange polynomials within the integration limits and they are presented in the table below. It can be noted that the Bold weights in the table are negative
