Quadrature rule for indefinite integral of algebraic-logarithmic singular integrands (Q2372945): Difference between revisions

The authors present an automatic quadrature method to approximate the indefinite integral of functions involving algebraic-logarithmic singularities. The computation of such integrals is required to solve some integral equations derived from the Schrödinger equation in nuclear physics. The present scheme is an extension of the Clenshaw-Curtis method [cf. \textit{C. W. Clenshaw} and \textit{A. R. Curtis}, Numer. Math. 2, 197--205 (1960; Zbl 0093.14006)], where the smooth part of the integrand function is interpolated by a sum of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. The indefinite integral is uniformly approximated and an estimation of the error of the quadrature rule is given. Finally numerical examples on several test integrals and a comparison with a subroutine of QUADPACK are provided and show the performance of the present quadrature scheme.
