SYNOPSYS

The quadrature_option_type class is used to send options to the integrate function see integrate(4). This class allows to set the family (Gauss, Gauss-Lobatto, etc) and the polynomial degree that is exactly integrated.

A special family name, call equispaced, refers to an equispaced set of point, suitable for some irregular functions, e.g. the Heaviside function. In that case, the order parameter refers to the number of nodes used. For instance, order=1 refers to the trapezoidal formulae and for the general case, there are order+1 nodes per edges. See also the see quadrature(2) for more on quadrature formulae.
