Gauss-Hermite Integration.


he following is an extremely efficient integration formula:

MATH (Gauss-Hermite Intergration)
MATH Note that one can do the change of function MATH to obtain more generic looking result.

The below values of $w_{i},x_{i}$ are taken from [Abramowitz] , pages 890 and 924: MATH MATH MATH What follows next is a fragment of theory of orthogonal polynomials that leads to the formula ( Gauss-Hermite Integration ). The proposition ( Gaussian quadrature rule ) provides the justification. There are several sections after ( Gaussian quadrature rule ) included for their importance for other applications within these Notes. The reference is [Gautschi] .
