INTRODUCTION Certain approximation formulas in one variable have been presented ° by which a sum is estimated by taking h times the sum of every h“h tens. The value of these summation formulas of Lubbock and Ioolhouse is that they contain remainder terms which give upper bounds for the error in calculation. The major purpose of this paper is to obtain extensions into two variables of Lubbock's formulas of the first, second, and third type, and of Woolhouse's formula of the first type. Approxima- tims of a double sum are obtained by taking h]: times the sum of every h17h tern in every kth array of one of the variables. To these approxi- mations are added certain corrective terms which involve finite differ- me: or derivatives. Remainder terms are obtained, and examples il- lustrate the use of these double summation formulas. Also a formula for approximating the value of a double integral, called a cubature formula, is obtained. It may be compared with Hardy's formula of mechanical quadrature in one variable. a re- mainder term is again available, together with an illustrative example. He shall make extensive use of the notation of the cal- eulus of finite differences. For one variable we define (1) 4.5“” = {(M) - fix), ° JJ'.

It follows that (4) o §£ = 4W 3% The quantities defined in (l)-(4) are called the descend - ing difference, the central difference, the mean, and the mean central difference of f(x) reapectively. Generally h = l, in which case we writeA, 8 ,CI ,and [218. For two variables we define (5) A, A..)‘(x31)= Ae [flu-1+!) “f(mfl _-.

Again in one variable we define a displacement symbol Eh such that when it Operates on f(x) we obtain f(x + h). That is, Ehf(x) = f(x + h). Hence A f(x) = (E - 1)f(x), showing that the symbol A is a linear function of a displacement symbol. For descending dif- ferences of higher order, A“ f(x) = (n - 1)m f(x). For two variables we define 4n 0| m 4. A, A1 f(m) = (Em) (6,-0 Hm). For m = n = l, we obtain (5). For the central differences we define (6) 5x Sith) = 81 [{(X‘t—iqfl ‘ f(x‘fisifl = 8x[}(X;1+-25- Her-H] 3.4.3!” .3. rue). ‘ _ me - JEN Erie _ I. 1 am. 3. =Hx+' v+t)- f(x but) f‘+‘»‘!‘s’>+7L("‘fi ‘5' and for the mean central differences (7) , CI 5x C] S, = T[f(x+l;1+l) ~f(x-t;1+z) sow-l) now] The treatment of the remainder terms in this paper de- pends on certain quantities called divided differences.

X Function (8) is the descending factorial. Funotions (9)-(12) are central factorials. It is seen that (9) and (12) are even functions, while (10) and (11) are odd functions. Each factorial is a polynomial of degree indicated by the exponents. For V = 0, (8), (9), and (12 ) are assigned the value of l, and hence (10) is equal to x and (11) is equal to l / x. The following Theorem of Mean Value for sums will be used repeatedly. 81 ) f(x) is continuous in the closed interval (a,b)/ 32 ) ¢(x) does not change sign in (c,d), H3) (excel, as ,5!“ (Leia-1,, 1‘ c1) Z mom) = m) :wa , (2! Proof: Since f(x) is continuous in the closed interval (a,b) it as- sumes a maximum, l, and a minimum, m, in that interval. Then, if ¢ (x) is positive or zero (otherwise we take - ¢(x)), a inn» 2 Zen-Hm e M 2de , which would not be true except for H2. Hence there exists an N where méflél such that 6. N :55“) = Z1: ¢(x) fag) . But f(x), being continuous, equals N for some x = f in (a,b). C1 is obtained by replacing N in the above equation by 11? ). The Theorem of Mean Value may be extended to double sums. Its use will be illustrated in the following important example. Suppose we have the double sum ' (P! i Z ' (3-) (—2)”; see tee “f" k k ’,t({5;«*)° The factorials, (-3-) , (T) , and hence their product, do not change sign within the limits of the summation for s and t. It is assumed through- out this paper that the function under consideration has continuous partial derivatives of sufficiently high order in x and y. Then the Theorem of Mean Value applies, and we have “" "" (P) m E: ;,,;, (t) (-E) f (amzozwf’yga), Pit where L-l h-l (f) (t) 091; : Z; Z: Fifi—(’2’) (”3) I and where min.{£3 ifs max.{f,§ and min. {41,} s 11. a max.(1t.}.

When s or t equals zero, the last term of (16) con- tains divided differences with repeated arguments which may be shown to be finite in value. Since the factorial coefficients vanish for s or t equal to zero, the last term of (16) is not affected by the equality of two of the arguments. In the first right hand member of (16) it is permissible to interchange the first two sumations with the last two since all the summations are finite. Then let (1?) L" b" (1'), (1') °<°1 = 2Z7???)

Furthermore 5 (r) 15(11) ‘ the quantities (T) , (7;) , and their product do not change sign for the values of s and t employed in the summations.

Formula (38) is the second of the summation formulas that we have been seeking. It may be regarded as an extension of Lubbock's formula of the second type with a remainder term 0. Formula (38) enables one to estimate a double sum by taking hk tines the sum of a series of terms which would be situated near the midpoints of the sides of h by k rectangles. This estimation is to be corrected by terms involving central differences and by a remainder term involving partial derivatives. In comparison with (24), formula (38) has the ad- vantage that only central differences of odd order are employed. In practice it is easier to apply if h and k are odd integers for then the value of P need be obtained at integral points only. For h = Zc, k = 2d, the values of F(2 on + c - is 2 dv + d - %) are not usually found in the given table. Before formula (38) may be used, the coefficients, x :91) ’ must be determined.

Formula (64) is the third of the summation formulas that we have been seeking. It may be regarded as an extension of Lubbock's formula of the third type with a remainder term 0. The summing is done It the corner points as in formula (24) which has the same first term as formula (64). For identical values of p and q, more terms are used in estimating by means of (64) than by means of (24) or (38). The corrective terms in the present forxmlla involve the less known mean central differences. The remainder terms of (24) and (64) are not di- rectly comparable because they contain partial derivatives of different orders, although it will be noticed that the remainder in (64) involves two extra terms. The remainder term in (38) is the best of the three. We shall illustrate the application of formula (64) to am we ' E $ __’_._ whenh=k=5,m=n=3,andp=q=2.

Combining the results of (65)-(70) gives us .0197166364 which underestimates the actual sum by slightly less than 6 in the 8th decimal place. This checks with the fact that the error as indicated by the remainder term is positive and has an upper limit of B in the 7th decimal place. A larger error in estimation was made when formula (24) was used with larger values of p and q. Because of this, the upper bound for the error should be calculated from the remainder term before any of the tables of differences needed in the summation formu- las are set up. wlj“: ii I, . 40. 5. EXTENSION 0F'WO0LHOUSE'S FORMULA OF THE FIRST TYPE In one variable Woolhouse‘s formula of the first type is based on the same principle as the Lubbock formulas except that the former employs derivatives instead of differences in its corrective terms. 0 Its derivation depends upon writing the Euler-MacLaurin sum- mation formula in two different forms and then eliminating the integral between them. Since the Euler-MacLaurin summation formula in two inde- pendent variables with a remainder °° has been recently developed, it is now possible to obtain an extension of Woolhouse's formula. For later convenience we define a polynomial in two in- dependent variables x and y, Bm'n(x,y), such that 11-; 4|“! (71) Ax A1 8%,” (’8‘!) = 4a at X 7 , and " 3' l I 2 :: a“ a.

D, represents the 1th derivative with respect to 1:. Such polynomials are called Bernoulli product polynomials from the fact that Bm'n(x,y) = Bm(x)- Bn(y), where Bm(x) is the Bernoulli polynomial of nth degree in one variable.°°° ° Steffensen, p. 148. °° W.D.

Formula (75) may be compared to Woolhouse's formula of the first type in one variable. It will be noticed that the first term in the right member of (75) is identical with the corresponding term 1m formulas (24) and (64). The second term is the corrective term which involves integrals and derivatives of f(x,y). Since the term in this double sum corresponding to i =3 = O is 0, the evaluation of a double integral is avoided. The remainder term consists of the last four terms and offers the same difficulties as the remainder term of the Euler-MacLaurin summation formula in two variables. For actual use formula (75) is not as convenient as desired. It seems that further work might be done in modifying (75) so that the remainder term would be more adaptable to numerical evaluation. We shall, however, illus- trate the use of the formula for a simple example where the remainder term is zero. 9 9 .12. TosumE 2X1 let h=k=5,m=n=2, X30 =0 p: (12 3.
