Convergence Theorems for Singular Integral Equations

  • Chapter
Numerical Solution of Integral Equations

Part of the book series: Mathematical Concepts and Methods in Science and Engineering ((MCSENG,volume 42))

Abstract

After describing a theory for singular integral equations with Cauchy kernel on the arc (−1, 1), a general convergence theory for approximate methods of solving such equations is proposed which includes estimates of rates of convergence. This theory is then applied to two well-known direct approximate methods.
