Summary
Gauss cubature rules are straightforward extensions of the Gauss quadrature rules of one variable. A Gauss cubature rule of degree 2n-1 exists if, and only if, its nodes are common zeros of all orthogonal polynomials of degree n. They are the first example of minimal cubature rules but rarely exist. The chapter gives a comprehensive study that provides a complete characterization of the Gauss cubature rules in terms of the common zeros of the orthogonal polynomials and their structural relations, and it includes examples and counterexamples for the existence of Gauss cubature rules.
