We propose and analyze a new spectral collocation method to solve eigenvalue problems of compact integral operators, particularly, piecewise smooth operator kernels and weakly singular operator kernels of the form 1 |t−s|μ , 0 < μ < 1. We prove that the convergence rate of eigenvalue approximation depends upon the smoothness of the corresponding eigenfunctions for piecewise smooth kernels. On t...

Straight-forward systematic derivations of the weakly singular boundary integral equations (BIEs) are presented, following the simple and directly-derived approach by Okada, Rajiyah, and Atluri (1989b) and Han and Atluri (2002). A set of weak-forms and their algebraic combinations have been used to avoid the hypersingularities, by directly applying the “intrinsic properties” of the fundamental ...

Fredholm integral equations with the right-hand side having singularities at the endpoints are considered. The singularities are moved into the kernel that is subsequently regularized by a suitable one-to-one map. The Nyström method is applied to the regularized equation. The convergence, stability and well conditioning of the method is proved in spaces of weighted continuous functions. The spe...

in this paper, we present a computational method for solving boundary integral equations with loga-rithmic singular kernels which occur as reformulations of a boundary value problem for the laplacian equation. themethod is based on the use of the galerkin method with cas wavelets constructed on the unit interval as basis.this approach utilizes the non-uniform gauss-legendre quadrature rule for ...

In this work we are concerned with the numerical solution of a nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equation with a nonsmooth solution. We investigate the application of product integration methods and a detailed analysis of the Trapezoidal method is given. In order to improve the numerical results we consider extrapolation procedures and collocation methods based on graded meshes. Sever...

In this work we consider a nonlinear Volterra integral equation with weakly singular kernel. An asymptotic error expansion for the explicit Euler’s method is obtained and this allows the use of certain extrapolation procedures. The performance of the extrapolation method is illustrated by several numerical examples.
