Abstract

We propose to replace the Gauss Quadratures with a numerical integration method known as the Double Exponential (DE) Formula. The numerical quadrature built upon it is at least equivalently accurate and much simpler to customize and apply in situations when tabulated values of the Gauss Quadratures’ nodes and weights can not be applied. The DE Formula was developed for integrals with endpoint singularities. However, we confirm that it can be successfully applied to any integral and interval, for which the Gauss Quadratures have been usually selected. To remain compact, the following presentation focuses only on the most difficult integrals, e.g. the improper integrals and the integrals with endpoint singularities. The main part of the paper consists of the calculations accuracy comparison between numerical quadrature based upon the DE Formula and the Gauss-Laguerre, the Gauss-Hermite or Gauss-Chebyshev Quadratures.
