Summary. Algorithms are derived for the evaluation of Gauss knots in the presence of fixed knots by modification of the Jacobi matrix for the weight function of the integral. Simple Gauss knots are obtained as eigenvalues of symmetric tridiagonal matrices and a rapidly converging simple iterative process, based on the merging of free and fixed knots, of quadratic convergence is presented for multiple Gauss knots. The procedures also allow for the evaluation of the weights of the quadrature corresponding to the simple Gauss knots. A new characterization of simple Gauss knots as a solution of a partial inverse eigenvalue problem is derived.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
