9 lut 2018 · The composite trapezoidal rule is a method for approximating a definite integral by evaluating the integrand at n points. Let [ a , b ] be the interval of integration with a partition a = x 0 < x 1 < … < x n = b .
The trapezoidal rule gives us a technique to approximate the integral on a given interval [ a, b ], but we cannot reduce the error because the error depends on the width of the interval over which we are integrating.
In calculus, the trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) is a technique for numerical integration, i.e., approximating the definite integral: (). The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} as a trapezoid and calculating its area.
Instead for higher accuracy and its control, we can use the composite (also called multiple-segment) trapezoidal rule where the integral is broken into segments, and the single-segment trapezoidal rule is applied over each segment.
The Composite Left-hand Endpoint Rule with \(n\) sub-intervals of equal width \(h = (b-a)/n\) is \[L_n = \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} f(x_i) h, \; = \sum_{i=0}^{n-1} f(a + i h) h\] To study its errors, start as with the Compound Trapezoid Rule: break the integral up as
The composite-trapezoidal rule applied to f ( x ) = e-x sin ( x ). Thus, our approximation to the integral is 0.52094 which has an absolute error of 0.00019 (or relative error of less than 0.04%) when compared to the correct five digit approximation 0.52113.
