The function may be called by the names: d05aac or nag_inteq_fredholm2_split.
3Description
d05aac 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 function 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 .
