Conversion of a power to a series of Chebyshev polynomials
Even slowly convergent power series can be rearranged as series in Chebyshev polynomials if appropriate sequence transformations are used in evaluating the coefficients. The method is illustrated by computing the coefficients for the expansion of the logarithm and dilogarithm.
An efficient composite formula for multidimensional quadrature
A (2s+1)-point, second-degree quadrature formula for integration over an s-dimensional hyper-rectangle is presented. All but one of the points lie on the surface with weights of opposite sign attached to points on opposite faces. When a large volume is subdivided into congruent rectangular subdivisions, only one point is required in each interior subdivision to achieve second-degree accuracy.
