On the numerical resolution of the generalized airfoil equation with Possio kernel (Q910176)

The airfoil singular integral equation is considered. The main goal is to construct an efficient rule for the evaluation of integrals of the type: \(\int^{1}_{-1}\sqrt{\frac{1-t}{1+t}}(K_ 1(x-t)\log | x-t| +K_ 2(x-t))f(t)dt,\) where \(K_ 1and\) \(K_ 2\) are entire or analytic in a sufficiently large region of the complex plane \((K_ 0=K_ 1(x- t)\log | x-t| +K_ 2(x-t)).\) For that purpose the proper n-point Gaussian rule is used for the interpolation of \(K_ 1(x-t)f(t)\) with the n-1 degree polynomial \(L_ n(g,t)\). The remainder \(E_ n(K_ 0f)=0(q^ n)\), where q positive real small number. Finally, complicated expressions for kernels \(K_ 1(x-t)\) and \(K_ 2(x-t)\) are given. A nested sequence of quadrature rules, i.e. a sequence where each rule contains all nodes of the previous ones, is recommended instead of doubling n at each step.
