Error bounds of the Micchelli-Sharma quadrature formula for analytic functions

Abstract

Micchelli and Sharma constructed in their paper [On a problem of Turan: multiple node Gaussian quadrature, Rend. Mat. 3 (1983) 529-552] a quadrature formula for the Fourier-Chebyshev coefficients, which has the highest possible precision. For analytic functions the remainder term of this quadrature formula can be represented as a contour integral with a complex kernel. We study the kernel, on elliptic contours with foci at the points not equal 1 and a sum of semi-axes rho > 1, for the quoted quadrature formula. Starting from the explicit expression of the kernel, we determine the location on the ellipses where the maximum modulus of the kernel is attained, and derive effective error bounds for this quadrature formula. Numerical examples are included.
