What are the different methods of numerical integration?
There are a few basic methods of numerical integration, differing in a way of approximation: midpoint rule, • trapezoidal rule, • Simpson's rule. In all of them we get approximated value of integral, but they are determined with various errors and speed of convergence to the correct result.
Which method is best for numerical integration?
If the functions are known analytically instead of being tabulated at equally spaced intervals, the best numerical method of integration is called Gaussian quadrature. By picking the abscissas at which to evaluate the function, Gaussian quadrature produces the most accurate approximations possible.
Which rule is a method for numerical integration?
Simpson's rule is one of the numerical methods which is used to evaluate the definite integral. Usually, to find the definite integral, we use the fundamental theorem of calculus, where we have to apply the antiderivative techniques of integration.
In what basic way is numerical integration easier than numerical differentiation?
In general, numerical differentiation is more difficult than numerical integration. This is because while numerical integration requires only good continuity properties of the function being integrated, numerical differentiation requires more complicated properties such as Lipschitz classes.
