On the numerical solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations by the collocation method

The collocation method for the numerical solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind is applied, properly modified, to the numerical solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations of the first or the second kind but with constant coefficients. This direct method of numerical solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations is compared afterwards with the corresponding method resulting from applying the collocation method to the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind equivalent to the Cauchy type singular integral equation, as well as with another method, based also on the regularization procedure, for the numerical solution of the same class of equations. Finally, the convergence of the method is discussed.     

On the quadrature methods for the numerical solution of singular integral equations

A Cauchy type singular integral equation can be numerically solved by the use of an appropriate numerical integration rule and the reduction of this equation to a system of linear algebraic equations, either directly or after the reduction of the Cauchy type singular integral equation to an equivalent Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. In this paper two fundamental theorems on the equivalence (under appropriate conditions) of the aforementioned methods of numerical solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations are proved in sufficiently general cases of Cauchy type singular integral equations of the second kind.

Numerical solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind by using integral mean value theorem II. High dimensional problems

In this work, we generalize the numerical method discussed in [Z. Avazzadeh, M. Heydari, G.B. Loghmani, Numerical solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind by using integral mean value theorem, Appl. math. modelling, 35 (2011) 2374–2383] for solving linear and nonlinear Fredholm integral and integro-differential equations of the second kind. The presented method can be used for solving integral equations in high dimensions. In this work, we describe the integral mean value method (IMVM) as the technical algorithm for solving high dimensional integral equations. The main idea in this method is applying the integral mean value theorem. However the mean value theorem is valid for multiple integrals, we apply one dimensional integral mean value theorem directly to fulfill required linearly independent equations. We solve some examples to investigate the applicability and simplicity of the method. The numerical results confirm that the method is efficient and simple.     

Electrostatic problem of several arbitrarily charged unequal coaxial disks

The title problem is treated by a new method which allows a straightforward derivation of a Fredholm system of governing integral equations. An important feature of these equations is the fact that there is no need to solve the system in order to assess certain integral characteristics like, for example, the total charge at each disk. A good accuracy of this assessment is confirmed by a numerical solution of the system of integral equations. Some previously published numerical results are corrected. Several examples are considered.

In this paper we present a certain collocation method for the numerical solution of a class of boundary integral equations of the first kind with logarithmic kernel as principle part. The transformation of the boundary value problem into boundary singular integral equation of the first kind via single-layer potential is discussed. A discretization and error representation for the numerical solution of boundary integral equations has been given. Quadrature formulae have been proposed and the error arising due to the quadrature formulae used has been estimated. The convergence of the solution with respect to the proposed numerical algorithm is shown and finally some numerical results have been presented.     

Theoretical investigation on error analysis of Sinc approximation for mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equation

In this study, we propose one of the new techniques used in solving numerical problems involving integral equations known as the Sinc-collocation method. This method has been shown to be a powerful numerical tool for finding fast and accurate solutions. So, in this article, a mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equation which has been appeared in many science an engineering phenomena is discredited by using some properties of the Sinc-collocation method and Sinc quadrature rule to reduce integral equation to some algebraic equations. Then exponential convergence rate of this numerical technique is discussed by preparing a theorem. Finally, some numerical examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the convergence theorem and numerical scheme.

Modified integral current methods in electrodynamics of nonhomogeneous media

The main difficulty in numerical solution of integral equations of electrodynamics is associated with the need to solve a high-order system of linear equations with a dense matrix. It is therefore relevant to develop numerical methods that lead to linear equation systems of lower order at the cost of more complex evaluation of the coefficients. In this article we propose a method for solving linear equations of electrodynamics which is a modification of the integral current method. The main distinctive feature of the proposed method is double integration of the electric Green’s tensor in the process of algebraization of the original integral equation. The solutions of the system of linear equations are thus integral means of the electric field inside the anomaly constructed by the proposed transformation formula. We prove convergence and derive error bounds for both the solution of the integral equation and the electromagnetic field components evaluated from approximate transformation formulas.     

Some applications of a galerkin-collocation method for boundary integral equations of the first kind

Here we apply the boundary integral method to several plane interior and exterior boundary value problems from conformal mapping, elasticity and fluid dynamics. These are reduced to equivalent boundary integral equations on the boundary curve which are Fredholm integral equations of the first kind having kernels with logarithmic singularities and defining strongly elliptic pseudodifferential operators of order - 1 which provide certain coercivity properties. The boundary integral equations are approximated by Galerkin's method using B-splines on the boundary curve in connection with an appropriate numerical quadrature, which yields a modified collocation scheme. We present a complete asymptotic error analysis for the fully discretized numerical equations which is based on superapproximation results for Galerkin's method, on consistency estimates and stability properties in connection with the illposedness of the first kind equations in L₂. We also present computational results of several numerical experiments revealing accuracy, efficiency and an amazing asymptotical agreement of the numerical with the theoretical errors. The method is used for computations of conformal mappings, exterior Stokes flows and slow viscous flows past elliptic obstacles.     

Numerical solutions of two-dimensional nonlinear integral analysis

In this paper, the approximate solutions for two different type of two-dimensional nonlinear integral equations: two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations and the nonlinear mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations are obtained using the Laguerre wavelet method. To do this, these two-dimensional nonlinear integral equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations in matrix form. By solving these systems, unknown coefficients are obtained. Also, some theorems are proved for convergence analysis.Some numerical examples are presented and results are compared with the analytical solution to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method.

In this paper we present a boundary integral equation method for the numerical conformal mapping of bounded multiply connected region onto a parallel slit region. The method is based on some uniquely solvable boundary integral equations with adjoint classical, adjoint generalized and modified Neumann kernels.

Some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the presented method.     

Applications of integral equations in particle-size statistics

We discuss the application of integral equations techniques to two broad areas of particle statistics, namely, stereology and packing. Problems in stereology lead to the inversion of Abel-type integral equations; and we present a brief survey of existing methods, analytical and numerical, for doing this. Packing problems lead to Volterra equations which, in simple cases, can be solved exactly and, in other cases, need to be solved numerically. Methods for doing this are presented along with some numerical results.
