Abstract
A numerical method for calculation of the generalized Chakalov-Popoviciu quadrature formulae of Radau and Lobatto type, using the results given for the generalized Chakalov-Popoviciu quadrature formula, is given. Numerical results are included. As an application we discuss the problem of approximating a function  f on the finite interval  I = [ab] by a spline function of degree  m and variable defects $d_\nu$, with  n (variable) knots, matching as many of the initial moments of  f as possible. An analytic formula for the coefficients in the generalized Chakalov-Popoviciu quadrature formula is given.
