Gauss-Kronrod product quadrature formulas for the numerical approximat
ion of integral(-1)(1)k(x)f(x)dx are shown to converge for every Riema
nn integrable f, and to possess optimal stability. Similar results are
proved for the product formulas based on the Kronrod nodes only. An a
pplication to the uniform convergence of approximate solutions of inte
gral equations is given.
