spherical.quadrature.rules: Create list of shperical quadrature rules

In gaussquad: Collection of Functions for Gaussian Quadrature

Create list of shperical quadrature rules

Description

This function returns a list with n elements containing the order k quadrature rule data frame for the shperical polynomial for orders k = 1,\;2,\; … ,\;n.

Usage

spherical.quadrature.rules(n,normalized=FALSE)

Arguments

n	integer value for the highest order
normalized	boolean value. if TRUE rules are for orthonormal polynomials, otherwise they are for orthgonal polynomials

Details

An order k quadrature data frame is a named data frame that contains the roots and abscissa values of the corresponding order k orthogonal polynomial. The column with name x contains the roots or zeros and the column with name w contains the weights.

Value

A list with n elements each of which is a data frame

1	Quadrature rule data frame for the order 1 spherical polynomial
2	Quadrature rule data frame for the order 2 spherical polynomial

...

n	Quadrature rule data frame for the order n spherical polynomial
