On Appel-Type Quadrature Rules

abstract:
The Radon technique is applied in order to recover a quadrature rule based on Appel polynomials and the so called Appel numbers. The relevant formula generalizes both the Euler--MacLaurin quadrature rule and a similar rule using Euler (instead of Bernoulli) numbers and even (instead of odd) derivatives of the given function at the endpoints of the considered interval. In the general case, the remainder term is expressed in terms of Appel numbers, and all derivatives appear. A numerical example is also included.
