P. Kohler, ORDER-PRESERVING MESH SPACING FOR COMPOUND QUADRATURE-FORMULAS AND FUNCTIONS WITH END-POINT SINGULARITIES, SIAM journal on numerical analysis, 32(2), 1995, pp. 671-686
For compound quadrature formulas for the numerical evaluation of integ
ral(a)(b) w(x)f(x)dx, where the function f as well as the weight funct
ion w are allowed to have singularities at the endpoints a and b, we s
how how to preserve the order of convergence, which is obtained for sm
ooth w and f, by an appropriate choice of the meshpoints. The main emp
hasis is on singularities of algebraic and logarithmic type.
