1: 3.5 Quadrature
3.5.18 w k = a b p n ( x ) ( x x k ) p n ( x k ) w ( x ) d x .
The w k are also known as Christoffel coefficients or Christoffel numbers and they are all positive. The remainder is given by …
2: 18.40 Methods of Computation
In what follows we consider only the simple, illustrative, case that μ ( x ) is continuously differentiable so that d μ ( x ) = w ( x ) d x , with w ( x ) real, positive, and continuous on a real interval [ a , b ] . The strategy will be to: 1) use the moments to determine the recursion coefficients α n , β n of equations (18.2.11_5) and (18.2.11_8); then, 2) to construct the quadrature abscissas x i and weights (or Christoffel numbers) w i from the J-matrix of §3.5(vi), equations (3.5.31) and(3.5.32). …

  • Equations (18.2.12), (18.2.13)
    18.2.12 K n ( x , y ) = 0 n p ( x ) p ( y ) h = k n h n k n + 1 p n + 1 ( x ) p n ( y ) p n ( x ) p n + 1 ( y ) x y , x y
    18.2.13 K n ( x , x ) = = 0 n ( p ( x ) ) 2 h = k n h n k n + 1 ( p n + 1 ( x ) p n ( x ) p n ( x ) p n + 1 ( x ) )

    The left-hand sides were updated to include the definition of the Christoffel–Darboux kernel K n ( x , y ) .

  • Section 16.11(i)

    A sentence indicating that explicit representations for the coefficients c k are given in Volkmer (2023) was inserted just below (16.11.5).

  • Additions

    Equations: (3.3.3_1), (3.3.3_2), (5.15.9) (suggested by Calvin Khor on 2021-09-04), (8.15.2), Pochhammer symbol representation in (10.17.1) for a k ( ν ) coefficient, Pochhammer symbol representation in (11.9.4) for a k ( μ , ν ) coefficient, and (12.14.4_5).

  • Subsection 14.18(iii)

    This subsection now identifies Equations (14.18.6) and (14.18.7) as Christoffel’s Formulas.

  • Equation (10.20.14)
    10.20.14 B 3 ( 0 ) = 959 71711 84603 25 47666 37125 00000 2 1 3

    Originally this coefficient was given incorrectly as B 3 ( 0 ) = 430 99056 39368 59253 5 68167 34399 42500 00000 2 1 3 . The other coefficients in this equation have not been changed.
