Abstract: The work deals with the construction of multi-dimensional quadrature formulas based on the method of repeated
application of the quadrature formulas of rectangles and trapezoids, to calculate the multiple integrals’ values. We’ve
proved the correctness of the quadrature formulas.
Keywords: multi-dimensional integrals, cubature formulas, re-use method.
I. INTRODUCNION
The paper is devoted to developing the multiple cubature formulas for the values of n-fold integrals calculation by
means of methods of repeated application of, quadrature formulas of trapezoid and rectangles.
According to mathematical analysis multiple integrals can be calculated by recalculating single integrals.
The essence of this approach is the following. Let the domain of integration is limited to single-valued continuous curves [1]

Placing the known rules in the double integral

Geometrically, this method is equivalent to the calculation of the volume I, given by the integral (2) by means of
cross-sections.
For cubature formulas of the type (3), the general comments, relating to the computation of simple integrals, are
valid with appropriate modifications.

From these relations the formula (20) is formed, which fully demonstrates the proof of the theorem.
Now, we calculate the values of integrals by repeated application of quadrature formulas, based on the formula of
rectangles.
The rectangle formula to calculate the values of the integrals is quite simple. In fact, here i is taken as

In the same way we define cubature formulas for calculating the values of the three-and four-fold integrals

On the basis of approximate formulas for calculating the values of one-, two-, three-and four-fold integrals,
respectively, expressed by (21) - (24), the formula for calculating the values of n-fold integrals is given .
Theorem 5. Let the ),...,,( 21 nxxxfy function is defined and continuous in a n-dimensional bounded n integration

Proof. The proof is given by induction.
From (21) - (24) we see that (25) holds for 4;3;2;1n . We assume that (25) is valid for kn :

III. CONCLUSIONS
Thus we have constructed the multi-dimensional cubature formulas to approximate the value of multiple integrals
by repeated application of the quadrature formula of trapezoids and rectangles to determine the values of multiple integrals,
which are easy to implement on a computer.
