+
+OpenGeoSys has implemented certain numerical integration/quadrature rules for
+each mesh element type. Currently, all of the implemented quadrature rules are
+Gauss-Legendre quadrature or schemes in that spirit. I.e., integration points
+are located inside the elements, not at its faces, edges or corners.
+
+The table below gives an overview over the implemented schemes and which
+polynomials can be integrated exactly with the respective schemes. The data are
+[unit tested](https://gitlab.opengeosys.org/ogs/ogs/-/tree/master/Tests/MathLib/TestGaussLegendreIntegration.cpp).
+
+Integration methods are implemented up to *integration order* 4.
+For each integration order *n* there is a maximum polynomial degree *P* that can be
+integrated exactly with the respective integration method. For the classical
+Gauss-Legendre integration the following holds: *P = 2 · n - 1*. Methods that
+fulfill this relation are marked **bold** in column **P** in the table, methods
+that are deficient are marked *italic*.
+
+The columns contain the following data:
+
+* #IP: The number of integration points of the integration method.
+* P: The maximum polynomial degree that the integration method can integrate
+  exactly. The monomials in the polynomial are *x*<sup>i</sup> *y*<sup>j</sup>
+  *z*<sup>k</sup> with *i + j + k ≤ P*
+* Q: The maximum polynomial degree that the integration method can integrate
+  exactly. The monomials in the polynomial are *x*<sup>i</sup> *y*<sup>j</sup>
+  *z*<sup>k</sup> with *i ≤ Q*, *j ≤ Q* and *k ≤ Q*. I.e., maximum monomial
+  degrees are higher in the Q column than in the P column.

+
+Note, that on pyramids det(*J*) varies over the mesh element, even for linear
+elements. Therefore, for pyramids we are actually integrating a polynomial of
+higher degree than the degrees P and Q given in the table above.
+
+## Extrapolation of integration point data to mesh nodes
+
+OpenGeoSys can extrapolate integration point data to mesh nodes for easy
+postprocessing. **Note, however, that the extrapolation procedures is not exact
+and can lead to more or less subtle errors that are hard to find!**
+
+Since OpenGeoSys extrapolates integration point data element-wise, the number of
+integration points of each mesh element must be greater or equal to the number of nodes of the element.
+Therefore, the ability to extrapolate data is linked to the chosen integration
+order, i.e., the number of integration points must be greater or equal to the
+number of nodes. The relation is presented in the table below.
+
+The columns contain the following data:
+
+* #IP: The number of integration points of the integration method.
+* L:
+  Whether extrapolation can be performed on the *linear* elements (e.g. Quad4) of the
+  respective type with the given integration order.
+* Q:
+  Whether extrapolation can be performed on the *quadratic* elements (e.g.
+  Hex20) of the respective type with the given integration order.
+
+As you can see, for integration order ≥ 2 extrapolation works for all linear
+elements and for integration order ≥ 3 extrapolation works for all element types
+implemented in OpenGeoSys.
