A note on solving Cauchy integral equations of the first kind by iterations

The successive approximation method was applied for the first time by N.I. Ioakimidis to solve practical cases of a Cauchy singular integral equation: the airfoil one. In this paper we study a more general case. We prove the convergence of the method in this general case. The proposed method has been tested for two kernels which are particularly important in practice. Finally, some numerical examples illustrate the accuracy of the method.

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.     

Spectral methods for weakly singular Volterra integral equations with smooth solutions

We propose and analyze a spectral Jacobi-collocation approximation for the linear Volterra integral equations (VIEs) of the second kind with weakly singular kernels. In this work, we consider the case when the underlying solutions of the VIEs are sufficiently smooth. In this case, we provide a rigorous error analysis for the proposed method, which shows that the numerical errors decay exponentially in the infinity norm and weighted Sobolev space norms. Numerical results are presented to confirm the theoretical prediction of the exponential rate of convergence.     

Numerical solution of differential equations using Sinc method based on the interpolation of the highest derivatives

In general, we will use the numerical differentiation when dealing with the differential equations. Thus the differential equations can be transformed into algebraic equations and then we can get the numerical solutions. But as we all have known, the numerical differentiation process is very sensitive to even a small level of errors. In contrast it is expected that on average the numerical integration process is much less sensitive to errors. In this paper, based on the Sinc method we provide a new method using Sinc method incorporated with the double exponential transformation based on the interpolation of the highest derivatives (SIHD) for the differential equations. The error in the approximation of the solution is shown to converge at an exponential rate. The numerical results show that compared with the exiting results, our method is of high accuracy, of good convergence with little computational efforts. It is easy to treat nonhomogeneous mixed boundary condition for our method, which is unlike the traditional Sinc method.     

An Operatorial approach to singular integral equations of a modified type

In this article,the authors discuss a kind of modified singular integral equations on a disjoint union of closed contours or a disjoint union of open arcs.The authors introduce some singular integral operators associated with this kind of singular integral equations,and obtain some useful properties for them.An operatorial approach is also given together with some illustrated examples.     

Approximation Spaces in the Numerical Analysis of Operator Equations

We show that generalized approximation spaces can be used to prove stability and convergence of projection methods for certain types of operator equations in which unbounded operators occur. Besides the convergence, we also get orders of convergence by this approach, even in case of non-uniformly bounded projections. We give an example in which weighted uniform convergence of the collocation method for an easy Cauchy singular integral equation is studied.     

A Jacobi-collocation method for solving second kind Fredholm integral equations with weakly singular kernels

In this work, we propose a Jacobi-collocation method to solve the second kind linear Fredholm integral equations with weakly singular kernels. Particularly, we consider the case when the underlying solutions are sufficiently smooth. In this case, the proposed method leads to a fully discrete linear system. We show that the fully discrete integral operator is stable in both infinite and weighted square norms. Furthermore, we establish that the approximate solution arrives at an optimal convergence order under the two norms. Finally, we give some numerical examples, which confirm the theoretical prediction of the exponential rate of convergence.     

Numerical solution of multiple nonlinear Volterra integral equations

We analyze a discretization method for solving nonlinear integral equations that contain multiple integrals. These equations include integral equations with a Volterra series, instead of a single integral term, on one side of the equation. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions, and convergence and estimates of the order of convergence for the numerical methods of solution.     

Solution of certain weakly singular integral equations

Direct solution methods for singular integral equations with nonnegative indices

In this paper we consider a complete singular integral equation with the Cauchy kernel on the real axis and a bisingular integral equation on a plane with a degenerate characteristic part. We theoretically substantiate the polynomial methods of moments and collocation in the case of nonnegative indices. We also prove the convergence of the method of mechanical quadratures for the corresponding one-dimensional equation.     

A direct method of solving singular integral equations with the Hilbert kernel

In this paper we consider a class of second-kind singular integral equations with Hilbert kernel on the unit circumference. We theoretically substantiate a solution method based on an interpolation-type operator.     

A remark on the application of interpolatory quadrature rules to the numerical solution of singular integral equations

A Cauchy type singular integral equation of the first or the second kind can be numerically solved either directly or after its reduction (by the usual regularization procedure) to an equivalent Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. The equivalence of these two methods (that is, the equivalence both of the systems of linear algebraic equations to which the singular integral equation is reduced and of the natural interpolation formulae) is proved in this paper for a class of Cauchy type singular integral equations of the first kind and of the second kind (but with constant coefficients) for general interpolatory quadrature rules under sufficiently mild assumptions. The present results constitute an extension of a series of previous results concerning only Gaussian quadrature rules, based on the corresponding orthogonal polynomials and their properties.

In this paper, we introduce a numerical method for the solution of two-dimensional Fredholm integral equations. The method is based on interpolation by Gaussian radial basis function based on Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto nodes and weights. Numerical examples are presented and results are compared with the analytical solution to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method.

Numerical solution of Volterra integral and integro-differential equations of convolution type by using operational matrices of piecewise constant orthogonal functions

In this paper, we use operational matrices of piecewise constant orthogonal functions on the interval [0,1)$[0,1)$ to solve Volterra integral and integro-differential equations of convolution type without solving any system. We first obtain Laplace transform of the problem and then we find numerical inversion of Laplace transform by operational matrices. Numerical examples show that the approximate solutions have a good degree of accuracy.
