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.     

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.     

The successive approximations method for the airfoil equation

The successive approximations (or Neumann iterations) method for the solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind is applied here for the first time, after an appropriate modification, to a Cauchy-type singular integral equation of the first kind, the airfoil equation. The convergence of the method is investigated and three simple applications are made. The numerical implementation of the method (by using Gaussian quadrature rules) is also described in detail and numerical results verifying the accuracy and convergence of the method are displayed.

Numerical method for the solution of integral equations in a problem with directional derivative for the Laplace equation outside open curves

By using a simple layer potential and an angular potential, one can reduce the problem with a directional derivative for the Laplace equation outside several open curves on the plane to a uniquely solvable system of integral equations that consists of an integral equation of the second kind and additional integral conditions. The kernel in the integral equation of the second kind contains singularities and can be represented as a Cauchy singular integral. We suggest a numerical method for solving a system of integral equations. Quadrature formulas for the logarithmic and angular potentials are represented. The quadrature formula for the logarithmic potential preserves the property of its continuity across the boundary (open curves).     

The approximate solution of a class of Fredholm integral equations with a weakly singular kernel

A method for finding the numerical solution of a weakly singular Fredholm integral equation of the second kind is presented. The Taylor series is used to remove singularity and Legendre polynomials are used as a basis. Furthermore, the Legendre function of the second kind is used to remove singularity in the Cauchy type integral equation. The integrals that appear in this method are computed in terms of gamma and beta functions and some of these integrals are computed in the Cauchy principal value sense without using numerical quadratures. Four examples are given to show the accuracy of the method.     

On the theory of convolution equations of the third kind

The autoconvolution equation of the third kind with coefficient of general power type is dealt with by the method of weighted norms developed for equations with coefficients of linear and integer power type in recent joint work of the author with L. Berg, J. Janno, and B. Hofmann. For this equation two existence theorems and a uniqueness theorem are proved. Further, as an auxiliary equation a linear singular integral equation of Abel is treated anew and the existence of solutions to a related class of linear Volterra equations of the third kind is derived.     

On convergence of two direct methods for solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations of the first kind

The methods for direct numerical solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations of the first kind based on Gauss-Chebyshev or Lobatto-Chebyshev numerical integration and the reduction of such an integral equation to a system of linear equations are proved to converge under appropriate conditions.     

Approximate solution of a class of singular integral equations of second kind

A simple method based on polynomial approximation of a function is employed to obtain approximate solution of a class of singular integral equations of the second kind. For a hypersingular integral equation of the second kind, this method avoids the complex function-theoretic method and produces the known exact solution to Prandtl's integral equation as a special case. For a particular singular integro-differential equation of the second kind, this also produces an approximate solution which compares favourably with numerical results obtained by various Galerkin methods. The convergence of the method for both the equations is also established.     

A random integral quadrature method for numerical analysis of the second kind of Volterra integral equations

In this paper, a novel meshless technique termed the random integral quadrature (RIQ) method is developed for the numerical solution of the second kind of the Volterra integral equations. The RIQ method is based on the generalized integral quadrature (GIQ) technique, and associated with the Kriging interpolation function, such that it is regarded as an extension of the GIQ technique. In the GIQ method, the regular computational domain is required, in which the field nodes are scattered along straight lines. In the RIQ method however, the field nodes can be distributed either uniformly or randomly. This is achieved by discretizing the governing integral equation with the GIQ method over a set of virtual nodes that lies along straight lines, and then interpolating the function values at the virtual nodes over all the field nodes which are scattered either randomly or uniformly. In such a way, the governing integral equation is converted approximately into a system of linear algebraic equations, which can be easily solved.     

Fractional Multistep Methods for Weakly Singular Volterra Integral Equations of the First Kind with Perturbed Data

ABSTRACT

Fractional multistep methods were introduced by C. Lubich for the quadrature of Abel integral operators and the solution of weakly singular Volterra integral equations of the first kind with exactly given right-hand sides. In the current paper, we consider the regularizing properties of these methods to solve the mentioned integral equations of the first kind for perturbed right-hand sides. Finally, numerical results are presented.     

Numerical solution of nonlinear two-dimensional Fredholm integral equations of the second kind using Gauss product quadrature rules

The Gauss product quadrature rules and collocation method are applied to reduce the second-kind nonlinear two-dimensional Fredholm integral equations (FIE) to a nonlinear system of equations. The convergence of the proposed numerical method is proved under certain conditions on the kernel of the integral equation. An iterative method for approximating the solution of the obtained nonlinear system is provided and its convergence is proved. Also, some numerical examples are presented to show the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.     

An algorithm based on the regularization and integral mean value methods for the Fredholm integral equations of the first kind

In this paper, an algorithm based on the regularization and integral mean value methods, to handle the ill-posed multi-dimensional Fredholm equations, is introduced. The application of this algorithm is based on the transforming the first kind equation to a second kind equation by the regularization method. Then, by converting the first kind to a second kind, the integral mean value method is employed to handle the resulting Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The efficiency of the approach will be shown by applying the procedure on some examples.

Boundary value methods for Volterra integral and integro-differential equations

New and effective quadrature rules generated by boundary value methods are introduced. We employ the introduced quadrature rules to construct quadrature methods for the second kind Volterra integral equations and Volterra integro-differential equations. These methods are shown to be effective and possess excellent convergence properties. The nonlinear multigrid method is applied to solve the discrete systems derived from the introduced numerical scheme. Numerical simulations are presented and confirm the efficiency and accuracy of the methods.

Convergence in the integral metric of the general projective method for solving singular integral equations of the first kind with the Cauchy kernel

We study a projective method for solving singular integral equations of the first kind with the Cauchy kernel. Depending on the index of the equation, we introduce pairs of weight spaces which represent a restriction of the space of summable functions. We prove the correctness of the stated problem. We obtain sufficient conditions for the convergence of the projective method in the integral metric.     

Solution of nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equations using the fractional‐order Legendre functions and pseudospectral method

In this article, our main goal is to render an idea to convert a nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equation to a non‐singular one by new fractional‐order Legendre functions. The fractional‐order Legendre functions are generated by change of variable on well‐known shifted Legendre polynomials. We consider a general form of singular Volterra integral equation of the second kind. Then the fractional Legendre–Gauss–Lobatto quadratures formula eliminates the singularity of the kernel of the integral equation. Finally, the Legendre pseudospectral method reduces the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. This method also can be utilized on fractional differential equations as well. The comparison of results of the presented method and other numerical solutions shows the efficiency and accuracy of this method. Also, the obtained maximum error between the results and exact solutions shows that using the present method leads to accurate results and fast convergence for solving nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equations.
