Direct methods for solving singular integral equations with complex conjugation (Q1279906)

Computational schemes of collocation and mechanical quadrature methods for the approximate solution of complete singular integral equations containing the complex conjugate unknown function are proposed. The contour of integration is an arbitrary smooth simple closed curve. A theoretical foundation of these two methods is given and the convergence is established in Hölder function space \(H_\beta\) \((0 < \beta < 1)\) and in \(L_p\) spaces \((1 < p < \infty)\). A rather common case of a nonstandard contour of integration is also investigated.
