Numerical evaluation of Cauchy principal value integrals based on local spline approximation operators (Q5961657)

The author presents a method for generating quadrature formulas for the numerical evaluation of the Cauchy principal value integral \[ J(K,f;\lambda)=\oint_{-1}^1 K(x){f(x)\over x-\lambda}dx\qquad \lambda\in (-1,1), \] \(f\in L_1[-1,1]\), based on approximating splines. Some convergence results and numerical examples are given. New quadrature rules are compared with old ones.
