A General and Effective Numerical Integration Method to Evaluate Triple Integrals Using Generalized Gaussian Quadrature

Abstract A general and effective numerical integration formula to evaluate all triple integrals with finite limits is proposed in this paper. The formula is derived by transforming the domain of integration to a zero-one cube. The general derivation along with results over specific regions like cuboid, tetrahedron, prism, pyramid and few regions having planar and non-planar faces is provided. Numerical results also are tabulated to validate the formula.
