Higher-Order Newton-Cotes Formulas

Pedro Americo Almeida Magalhaes Junior and Cristina Almeida Magalhaes

Abstract

Problem statement: The present work offers equations of Newton-Cotes Integration until twenty segments. Approach: It shows Newton-Cotes closed and open integration formulas. The new type Newton-Cotes semi-closed or semi-open was proposed. Results: An analysis of error in the technique was made. To estimate the error of integration in discrete data, we propose apply different rules or mix several rules. Conclusion/Recommendations: The difference in the result of each formula provides an approximation of the error. Computational routines to generate Newton-Cotes integration rules were presented.
