Abstract

We show that if r $\leq$ 2, the average error of the Trapezoidal rule is proportional to $n^{-min{r+l, 3}}$ where n is the number of mesh points on the interval [D, 1]. As a result, we show that the Trapezoidal rule with equally spaced points is optimal in the average case setting when r $\leq$ 2.
