We present an efficient solution to the following problem, of relevance in a numerical optimization scheme: calculation of integrals of the type \iint_T ∩ \f≥0\ ϕ1ϕ2 dx dy for quadratic polynomials f,ϕ1,ϕ2 on a plane triangle T. The naive approach would involve consideration of the many possible shapes of T∩\f≥0\ (possibly after a convenient transformation) and parameterizing its border, in order to integrate the variables separately. Our solution involves partitioning the triangle into smaller triangles on which integration is much simpler.
