A note on a superconvergence result for the generalized airfoil equation (Q1110391)

In this paper the author deals with the Cauchy singular equation \[ \frac{1}{\pi}\int^{1}_{-1}\sqrt{\frac{1-s}{1+s}}\frac{u(s)ds}{t- s}=\int^{1}_{-1}\sqrt{\frac{1-s}{1+s}}k(t,s)u(s)ds+f(t), \] where f(t) is a step function and \(k(t,s)\in C^ r([-1,1]\times [-1,1])\). Using Galerkin's method he obtains convergence results and error estimates for calculating linear functionals of solutions. The effects of quadrature errors are determined.
