3 Description
D05AAF solves an integral equation of the form
for
, when the kernel
is defined in two parts:
for
and
for
. The method used is that of
El–Gendi (1969) for which, it is important to note, each of the functions
and
must be defined, smooth and nonsingular, for all
and
in the interval
.
An approximation to the solution
is found in the form of an
term Chebyshev series
, where
indicates that the first term is halved in the sum. The coefficients
, for
, of this series are determined directly from approximate values
, for
, of the function
at the first
of a set of
Chebyshev points:
The values
are obtained by solving simultaneous linear algebraic equations formed by applying a quadrature formula (equivalent to the scheme of
Clenshaw and Curtis (1960)) to the integral equation at the above points.
In general . However, if the kernel is centro-symmetric in the interval , i.e., if , then the routine is designed to take advantage of this fact in the formation and solution of the algebraic equations. In this case, symmetry in the function implies symmetry in the function . In particular, if is even about the mid-point of the range of integration, then so also is , which may be approximated by an even Chebyshev series with . Similarly, if is odd about the mid-point then may be approximated by an odd series with .

. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to
Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value
is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value
is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is
.
When the value is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit:
unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see
Section 6).
6 Error Indicators and Warnings
If on entry
or
, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by
X04AAF).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
A failure has occurred due to proximity to an eigenvalue. In general, if
LAMBDA is near an eigenvalue of the integral equation, the corresponding matrix will be nearly singular. In the special case,
, the matrix reduces to a zero-valued number.
7 Accuracy
No explicit error estimate is provided by the routine but it is usually possible to obtain a good indication of the accuracy of the solution either
(i) |
by examining the size of the later Chebyshev coefficients , or |
(ii) |
by comparing the coefficients or the function values for two or more values of N. |
The time taken by D05AAF increases with
N.
This routine may be used to solve an equation with a continuous kernel by defining
K1 and
K2 to be identical.
This routine may also be used to solve a Volterra equation by defining
K2 (or
K1) to be identically zero.
9 Example
This example solves the equation

Five terms of the Chebyshev series are sought, taking advantage of the centro-symmetry of the

.
The approximate solution at the point
is calculated by calling
