Simpson's 1/3 Rule

Simpson's 1/3 rule divides an interval [a, b] into an even number of equal-length subintervals to approximate the definite integral.

Area Approximation

In Simpson's rule, the area under a curve y = f(x) is approximated by using the area of a parabola passing through points on the curve.

Study Notes

  • Simpson's 1/3 rule is a method for approximating the definite integral of a function.
  • The interval [a, b] is divided into an even number of equal-length subintervals.
  • n must be even for this method to work.
  • In this method, the area under the curve y = f(x) in the intervals [x₀, x₂] and [x₁, x₃] is approximated by the area of a parabola (or polynomial of degree 2) passing through the points M₀ = (x₀, y₀), M₁ = (x₁, y₁), and M₂ = (x₂, y₂) which lie on the curve y = f(x).

Simpson's 1/3 Rule Formula Derivation

  • We let y = p₂(x) = Ax² + Bx + C be the equation of the parabola.
  • The integral from x₀ to x₂ of f(x) dx is approximated by the integral from x₀ to x₂ of p₂(x) dx.
  • p₂(x) passes through the points M₀, M₁, and M₂ which leads to the equations:
    • y₀ = Ax₀² + Bx₀ + C
    • y₁ = Ax₁² + Bx₁ + C
    • y₂ = Ax₂² + Bx₂ + C
  • The integral from x₀ to x₂ of (Ax² + Bx + C) dx is equal to the following, where h = (x₂-x₀)/2:
    • (h/3) * [2A(x₂² + x₂x₀ + x₀²) + 3B(x₂ + x₀) + 6C]
  • y₀ + 4y₁ + y₂ = A(x₀² + 4x₁² + x₂²) + B(x₀ + 4x₁ + x₂) + 6C
  • Simplifying and substituting relationships gives the Simpson's 1/3 rule formula:
    • Integral from x₀ to x₂ of f(x) dx ≈ (h/3) * [y₀ + 4y₁ + y₂]

Composite Simpson's 1/3 Rule

  • Applying Simpson's 1/3 rule to a series of subintervals yields the composite rule:
    • Integral from a to b of f(x) dx ≈ (h/3) * [y₀ + 4(y₁ + y₃ + ... + yₙ₋₁) + 2(y₂ + y₄ + ... + yₙ₋₂) + yₙ].
  • This is also known as Simpson's 1/3 rule.
  • In the formula, yᵢ = f(xᵢ) for 0 ≤ i ≤ n.

Error Bounds in Trapezoidal Rule

  • For n=1, the error is given by Error = integral from x₀ to x₀+h of f(x) dx - (h/2)(f(x₀) + f(x₀+h)).
  • This simplifies to Error = -(h³/12)*f''(ξ) for some ξ ∈ (x₀, x₀+h).
  • For any n ≥ 1, the error is Error = -(b-a)/12 * h² * f''(ξ) for some ξ ∈ (a, b).
  • This is also equal to Error = -(b-a)³/12n² * f''(ξ).
  • The integral from a to b of f(x) dx ≈ h/2 * [f(x₀) + f(xₙ) + 2(f(x₁) + ... + f(xₙ₋₁))].
  • Also, the error is -(b-a)³/12n² * f''(ξ), for some ξ ∈ (a, b).
  • If we let m* = min(f''(t)) for t in [a, b] and M* = max(f''(t)) for t in [a, b],
    • K = -(b-a)³/12n² < 0.
    • K * m* ≤ f''(ξ) ≤ K * M*

Error Bounds in Simpson's 1/3 Rule

  • Assume f(x) is four times differentiable and f^(4)(x) exists on [a, b] and is continuous
  • Then the error e in the Simpson's 1/3 formula is e = -(b - a)⁵ / (180n⁴) * f^(4)(ξ) for some ξ in (a, b).
    • Let m* = min(f^(4)(ξ)) and M* = max(f^(4)(ξ)).
    • Then -(b - a)⁵ / (180n⁴) * M* ≤ error ≤ -(b - a)⁵ / (180n⁴) * m*.
