On the construction of optimal cubature formulae which use integrals over hyperspheres. (English) Zbl 1114.41019
Summary: We consider formulae of approximate integration over a $$d$$-dimensional ball which use $$n$$ surface integrals along $$(d-1)$$-dimensional spheres centered at the origin. For a class of functions defined on the ball with gradients satisfying an integral restriction, optimal formulae of this type are obtained.
