For such unctions, we show that the convergence rate of (n + 1)-point Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature is O(n^{-s-2}). Furthermore, an asymptotic error expansion for Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature is presented which enables us to employ some extrapolation techniques to accelerate its convergence. Numerical examples are provided to confirm our analysis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-07-17T01:20:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "clenshaw-curtis quadrature", "convergence rate", "endpoint singularities", "acceleration", "asymptotic error expansion" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1401.0638W" } } }
