The exact solution and stability analysis for integral equation of third or first kind with singular kernel (Q942389)

The authors study the linear integral equation \[ A(x)u(x)+ \int_0^1\frac{G(x,y)}{x^\alpha y^\beta}u(y)\,dy=g(x), \] where \(x\in[0,1]\), \(\alpha,\beta\) are real constants, \(G(x,y)\) and \(g(x)\) are given functions, \(A(x)=c\prod_{i=1}^m(x-x_i)\), and \(u(x)\) is an unknown function, in the space \(W_2^1[0,1]\). The exact solution is found via a series involving a reproducing kernel of \(W_2^1[0,1]\). Further, the \(n\)-term approximate solution is obtained by truncating the series. Error estimates are given and some numerical examples illustrating the obtained results are considered.
