“…There has, however, been a considerable effort [19][20][21] to find minimal integration rules for special regions such as the n-cube (C,), the n-sphere (S,), the surface of the n-sphere ( U n ) , and the n-simplex (T,) [an integration rule over region R, of degree d with N points integrates all monomials, over R, of degree d exists with less than N points]. We will use the special points given by Stroud [19], Lebedev [22], and McLaren [23] for integration over the surface of a three-dimensional sphere (ZJ3).…”
