Which is set by the routine GLT7.FOR.

The test problems are functions of the form (, ) = on the
domain of the standard triangle.

Polynomial Test Problems for Quadrature Rules on the Standard Triangle

The Laursen and Gellert paper listed in the bibliography states that the
order precision of the seven point rule is 5. Some experimentation with
the method on polynomial integrands demosntrates that the seven point
rule is exact as long as the indices sum to at most five; + 5 .
In the test problem all non-negative indices in the integrand that sum to
at most 5 are tested. If the relative error is more that 10-14 an error is
reported.
