An improved quadrature method for integral equations with logarithmic kernel

2003

In this paper we present a family of modied quadrature methods for the numer- ical approximation of integral equations of the rst kind with logarithmic kernel. We prove the stability and the existence, under some smoothness assumptions for the exact solution, of an expansion in powers of the discretization parameter of the error. Using this expansion we deduce that a particular method reaches order three. Some comments on the use of Richardson extrapolation are given.

A Numerical Method for a Volterra-Type Integral Equation with Logarithmic Kernel

2000

We consider a class of integral equations of Volterra type with con- stant coefficients containing a logarithmic difference kernel. This class coincides for a = 0 with the Symm's equation. We can transform the general integral equation into an equivalent singular equation of Cauchy type which allows us to give the explicit formula for the solution. The numerical method proposed

A discrete Galerkin method for first kind integral equations with a logarithmic kernel

Journal of Integral Equations and Applications, 1988

Consider the first kind integral equation g(Q) log \P-Q\ dS(Q) = h{P), PES with S a smooth simple closed curve in the plane. A special Galerkin method with trigonometric polynomial approximants has been shown by other authors to converge exponentially when solving the above integral equation. In this paper, Galerkin's method is further discretized by replacing the integrals with numerical integrals. The resulting discrete Galerkin method is shown to converge rapidly when the curve S and the data h are smooth. The method is also equivalent to a discrete collocation procedure with trigonometric polynomial approximants.

Discrete collocation method for Volterra type weakly singular integral equations with logarithmic kernels

Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, 2018

An efficient discrete collocation method for solving Volterra type weakly singular integral equations with logarithmic kernels is investigated. One of features of these equations is that, in general the first derivative of solution behaves like as a logarithmic function, which is not continuous at the origin. In this paper, to make a compatible approximate solution with the exact ones, we introduce a new collocation approach, which applies the Müntz-logarithmic polynomials(Müntz polynomials with logarithmic terms) as basis functions. Moreover, since implementation of this technique leads to integrals with logarithmic singularities that are often difficult to solve numerically, we apply a suitable quadrature method that allows the exact evaluation of inte-grals of polynomials with logarithmic weights. To this end, we first remind the well-known Jacobi-Gauss quadrature and then extend it to integrals with logarithmic weights. Convergence analysis of the proposed scheme are presented , and some numerical results are illustrated to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.

SOLUTION METHODS FOR INTEGRAL EQUATIONS -A SURVEY

SOLUTION METHODS FOR INTEGRAL EQUATIONS - A SURVEY, 2020

The theory of integral equations has been an active field of research for many years and is inextricably related with other areas of Mathematics such as complex and mathematical analysis, function theory, integral transforms and functional analysis. Integral Equations arise naturally in applications, in many areas of Mathematics, Engineering, Science and Technology and have been studied extensively both at the theoretical and practical level. It is significant to note that a MathSciNet keyword search on Integral Equations returns more than eleven thousand items. In this paper, we do a brief survey of the existing literature on methods of solving integral equations of Volterra and Fredholm type of the first, second and third kind, Cauchy type singular integral equations and integral equations over an infinite interval. The objective is to classify the selected methods and evaluate their applicability while discussing challenges faced by individual researchers in this field. We also provide a rather extensive bibliography for the reader who would be interested in learning more about various theoretical and computational aspects of Integral Equations.

Quadrature methods for integral equations of the second kind over infinite intervals

Mathematics of Computation, 1981

Convergence results are proved for a class of quadrature methods for integral equations of the form y(t) = fit) + /ô° k(t, s)y(s) ds. An important special case is the Nystrom method, in which the integral term is approximated by an ordinary quadrature rule. For all of the methods considered here, the rate of convergence is the same, apart from a constant factor, as that of the quadrature approximation to the integral term.
