Based on the theory of elasticity, previous analytical solutions concerning a penny-shaped interface crack employ the derivative of the crack surface opening displacements as the primary unknowns, thus leading to singular integral equations with Cauchy-type singularity. The solutions to the resulting integral equations permit only the determination of stress intensity factors and energy release...

Abstract A new numerical method is introduced and investigated for the hypersingular integral equations defined in Banach spaces. The hypersingular integral equations belong to a wider class of singular integral equations having much more stronger singularities.The proposed approximation method is an extension beyond the quadrature method. Beyond the above, an error estimates theory is proposed...

Criteria are offered for the existence of fixed-sign solutions (u∗1, u ∗ 2, · · · , u ∗ n) to the system of Volterra integral equations, i.e., θiu ∗ i (...

A numerical method is proposed and investigated for the hypersingular integral equations defined in Banach spaces. The hypersingular integral equations belong to a wider class of singular integral equations having much more stronger singularities. The proposed approximation method is an extension beyond the quadrature method. Moreover an error estimates theory is introduced for the hypersingula...

The approximate solution of a singular integral equation by Galerkin's method is studied. We discuss the theoretical aspects of such problems and give error bounds for the approximate solution.

We consider mixed problems for infinite systems of first order partial functional differential equations. Infinite number of deviating functions is permitted, and the delay of an argument may depend also on spatial variable. A theorem on the existence of a solution and its continuous dependence upon initial boundary data is proved. The method of successive approximations is used in the existenc...

We study regularity of solutions of weakly singular Volterra integral equations of the first kind. We then study the numerical analysis of discontinuous piecewise polynomial collocation methods for solving such systems. The main purpose of this paper is the derivation of global convergent and super-convergent properties of introduced methods on the graded meshes. We apply relevant methods to a ...

with a large matrix A of ill-determined rank. Thus, A has many “tiny” singular values of different orders of magnitude. In particular, A is severely ill-conditioned. Some of the singular values of A may be vanishing. We allow m ≥ n or m < n. The right-hand side vector b̃ is not required to be in the range of A. Linear systems of equations of the form (1) with a matrix of ill-determined rank are ...

Novel non-hyper-singular [i.e., only strongly-singular] boundary-integral-equations for the gradients of the acoustic velocity potential, involving only O(r−2) singularities at the surface of a 3-D body, are derived, for solving problems of acoustics governed by the Helmholtz differential equation. The gradients of the fundamental solution to the Helmholtz differential equation for the velocity...

An effective technique upon linear B-spline wavelets has been developed for solving weakly singular Fredholm integral equations. Properties of these wavelets and some operational matrices are first presented. These properties are then used to reduce the computation of integral equations to some algebraic equations. The method is computationally attractive, and applications are demonstrated thro...
