A collocation scheme for a certain Cauchy singular integral equation based on the superconvergence analysis (Q2434822)

The paper investigates the composite midpoint rule for the calculation of the Cauchy principal value integral in an interval. This rule is the key point on a pointwise superconvergence phenomenon. The error of the rule is obtained, which shows that the superconvergence phenomenon occurs at the points of each subinterval whose local coordinate is the zeros of some function. Then, by applying the midpoint rule to approximate the Cauchy principal value integral and choosing the superconvergence points as the collocation points, a collocation scheme for solving a certain Cauchy singular integral equation is obtained.
