Optimal cubature formulas in a reflexive Banach space
Sequences of cubature formulas with a joint countable set of nodes are studied. Each cubature formula under consideration has only a finite number of nonzero weights. We call a sequence of such kind a multicubature formula. For a given reflexive Banach space it is shown that there is a unique optimal multicubature formula and the sequence of the norm of optimal error functionals is monotonically decreasing to 0 as the number of the formula nodes tends to infinity.
