An algorithm for the numerical resolution of a class of singular integral equations (Q1904062)

The author considers a class of integral equations of Volterra type with constant coefficients containing a logarithmic difference kernel, which can be transformed into an equivalent singular integral equation of Cauchy type. The main idea is to present a numerical procedure applying the Lagrange interpolation and the quadrature rule to the inner Cauchy type singular integral equation after substracting the singularity. For the error of this method weighted norm estimates and estimates on discrete subsets of knots are given. This theory is illustrated by some numerical examples.
