Abstract

In this paper, a cubature formula over polygons is proposed and analysed. It is based on an eight-node quadrilateral spline finite element [C.-J. Li, R.-H. Wang, A new 8-node quadrilateral spline finite element, J. Comp. Appl. Math. 195 (2006) 54–65] and is exact for quadratic polynomials on arbitrary convex quadrangulations and for cubic polynomials on rectangular partitions. The convergence of sequences of the above cubatures is proved for continuous integrand functions and error bounds are derived. Some numerical examples are given, by comparisons with other known cubatures.
