A quadrature method for systems of Cauchy singular integral equations (Q452491)

A numerical method approximating the solutions of a system of Cauchy singular integral equations (CSIE) of the following type NEWLINE\[NEWLINE a_j x_j(t) + \frac{b_j}{\pi} \int^1_{-1}\frac{x_j(\tau)d\tau}{\tau-t} + \sum^n_{k=1}\int^1_{-1} h_{jk}(t,\tau)x_k(\tau)d\tau = f_j(\tau), \quad |\tau| < 1,\;j = 1,2,\dots,n, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(a_j,\) \(b_j\) are constants, \(h_{jk},\) \(f_j,\) \(j,k = 1,2,\dots,n\) are known complex-values functions defined on \([-1,1]^2\) and \([-1,1],\) respectively, and \(x_j,\) \(j=1,2,\dots,n,\) are the unknowns, is proved. The stability and the convergence of the method are proved in weighted \(L^2\) spaces. An application to the numerical resolution of CSIE on curves is also given. Finally, some numerical tests confirming the error estimates are shown.
