A method for indefinite integration of oscillatory and singular functions (Q2465228)

The author proposes a method for computing the indefinite integral of oscillatory and singular functions. His essential idea is to replace the problem of computing the integral with the problem of determining a particular solution of differential equations. The solution of the above system is given in terms of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. This way also the case when the differential equation has no regular solutions can be examined. The recurrence equations verified by the Chebyshev coefficients are determined, this way their evaluation is very effective. The main results of the paper, consisting in the study of the reccurence equations verified by the Chebyshev coefficients and the description of the method are presented in Section 2 Section 3 contains error estimates for the method. The computing of the solutions of the recurrence equations is the subject of Section 4. Section 5 presents the author's method for computing integrals involving trigonometric functions. Also numerical examples are presented. In Appendix, two algorithms for the proposed method are described.
