Abstract:

The condition that an interpolatory quadrature formula on n nodes have degree of precision at least n and positive weights defines a homeomorphism between the sets of admissible nodes and weights of such formulae for each n. This is used to prove that the only formulae having "almost equal" weights are the Chebyshev formulae.
