Weighted uniform convergence of the quadrature method for Cauchy singular integral equations (Q4356299)

The first part of the paper is devoted to quadrature methods for singular integral equations \[ a(t)x(t)+{1\over \pi} \int^1_{-1} {b(\tau)x(\tau)\over\tau- t} d\tau+{1\over \pi} \int^1_{-1} h_0(t,\tau)x(\tau)d\tau= f(t)\tag{1} \] and \[ a(t)x(t)+ {b(t)\over\pi} \int^1_{-1} {x(\tau)\over\tau- t} d\tau+ {1\over\pi} \int^1_{-1} h_0(t,\tau)x(\tau)d\tau = f(t).\tag{2} \] It is assumed that there exists a function \[ c(t)= \widetilde c(t)\prod^{N+ 1}_{j= 0}|x-c_j|^{-\eta_j}, \] where \(-1= c_{N+1}< \cdots<c_0= 1\), \(\eta_j>- 1\), \(j= 0,1,\dots, N+1\), \(\widetilde c(t)>0\), \(t\in[- 1,1]\), such that \(B(t)= b(t)c(t)\) is polynomial. Instead of (1) and (2) the equivalent equations \[ a(t)\sigma_0(t)u(t)+ {1\over\pi} \int^1_{-1} {B(\tau)\sigma(\tau)u(\tau)\over \tau-t} d\tau+ {1\over\pi} \int^1_{-1} h_0(t,\tau)\sigma(\tau)u(\tau)d\tau= f(t)\tag{3} \] and \[ a(t)\sigma_0(t)u(t)+ {B(t)\over\pi} \int^1_{-1} {\sigma(\tau)u(\tau)\over\tau- t} d\tau+ {1\over\pi} \int^1_{-1} h(t,\tau)\sigma(\tau)u(\tau)d\tau= f(t)\tag{4} \] are investigated. Here \(x= \sigma u\), \(h(t,\tau)= c(t)h_0(t,\tau)\), \(f(t)= c(t)f_0(t)\); \(\sigma_0(t)\), \(\sigma(t)\) are functions which are constructed in a special way. For equations (3) and (4) the quadrature method is applied. The unique solvability of the equations and the convergence of the method in weighted uniform and uniform norms are proved. The second part of the paper is devoted to special interpolation processes and their applications to singular integrals and singular integral equations. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0846.00027].
