چکیده
Several problems of mathematical physics lead to Fredholm integral equations of the second kind where the kernels are either weakly or strongly singular and the known terms are smooth. These equations have solutions which are smooth in the whole interval of integration except at the endpoints where they have mild singularities. In this paper we derive new pointwise and uniform polynomial approximation error estimates for that type of function. These estimates are then used to obtain bounds for the remainder terms of interpolatory product rules, based on the zeros of classical Jacobi orthogonal polynomials, that have been proposed for the discretization of integrals of the form

Numerical Integration
This article focuses on the process of approximating a definite integral from values of the integrand when exact mathematical integration is not available. This problem arises in statistics when marginal density functions or expected values of random variables are required. The article describes classical univariate quadrature methods including the trapezoidal rule, Simpson’s rule, Newton-Cotes...
متن کاملOn Generalized Gaussian Quadrature Rules for Singular and Nearly Singular Integrals
We construct and analyze generalized Gaussian quadrature rules for integrands with endpoint singularities or near endpoint singularities. The rules have quadrature points inside the interval of integration and the weights are all strictly positive. Such rules date back to the study of Chebyshev sets, but their use in applications has only recently been appreciated. We provide error estimates an...
متن کاملNumerical Quadrature and Nonlinear Sequence Transformations; Unified Rules for Efficient Computation of Integrals With Algebraic and Logarithmic Endpoint Singularities
Some nonlinear transformations for accelerating the convergence of infinite sequences due to Levin are reviewed, and new results of practical importance in applications are given. Using these results, the transformations of Levin are modified and used to obtain new numerical integration formulas for weight functions with algebraic and logarithmic endpoint singularities, which are simpler to com...
متن کاملSolution of Harmonic Problems with Weak Singularities Using Equilibrated Basis Functions in Finite Element Method
In this paper, Equilibrated Singular Basis Functions (EqSBFs) are implemented in the framework of the Finite Element Method (FEM), which can approximately satisfy the harmonic PDE in homogeneous and heterogeneous media. EqSBFs are able to automatically reproduce the terms consistent with the singularity order in the vicinity of the singular point. The newly made bases are used as the compliment...
متن کاملExtended Gaussian quadratures for functions with an end-point singularity of logarithmic type
The extended Gaussian quadrature rules are shown to be an efficient tool for numerical integration of wide class of functions with singularities of logarithmic type. The quadratures are exact for the functions pol1n−1(x) + lnx pol2n−1(x) , where pol1n−1(x) and pol2n−1(x) are two arbitrary polynomials of degree n−1 and n is the order of the quadrature formula. We present an implementation of num...
