Abstract: | Given a sequence of real or complex coefficients ci and a sequence of distinct nodes ti in a compact interval T, we prove the divergence and the unbounded divergence on superdense sets in the space C(T) of the simple quadrature formulas ∝Tx(t)du(t) = Qn(x) + Rn(x) and ∝Tw(t)x(t)dt = Qn(x) + Rn(x), where Qn(x)=∑i=1mn cix(ti), ε C(T).The divergence (not certainly unbounded) for at most one continuous function of the first simple quadrature formula, with mn = n and u(t) = t, was established by P. J. Davis in 1953. |
