d05byc (abel_weak_weights) : NAG Library CL Interface, Mark 30

3 Description

d05byc computes the weights

W_{i, j}

and

ω_{i}

for a family of quadrature rules related to a BDF method for approximating the integral:

\frac{1}{\sqrt{π}} \int_{0}^{t} \frac{ϕ (s)}{\sqrt{t - s}} d s ≃ \sqrt{h} \sum_{j = 0}^{2 p - 2} W_{i, j} ϕ (j \times h) + \sqrt{h} \sum_{j = 2 p - 1}^{i} ω_{i - j} ϕ (j \times h), 0 \leq t \leq T,

(1)

with

t = i \times h (i \geq 0)

, for some given

h

. In (1),

p

is the order of the BDF method used and

W_{i, j}

ω_{i}

are the fractional starting and the fractional convolution weights respectively. The algorithm for the generation of

ω_{i}

is based on Newton's iteration. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) techniques are used for computing these weights and subsequently

W_{i, j}

(see Baker and Derakhshan (1987) and Henrici (1979) for practical details and Lubich (1986) for theoretical details). Some special functions can be represented as the fractional integrals of simpler functions and fractional quadratures can be employed for their computation (see Lubich (1986)). A description of how these weights can be used in the solution of weakly singular equations of Abel type is given in Section 9.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.

d05byc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

d05byc makes calls to BLAS and/or LAPACK routines, which may be threaded within the vendor library used by this implementation. Consult the documentation for the vendor library for further information.

Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

Fractional quadrature weights can be used for solving weakly singular integral equations of Abel type. In this section, we propose the following algorithm which you may find useful in solving a linear weakly singular integral equation of the form

y (t) = f (t) + \frac{1}{\sqrt{π}} \int_{0}^{t} \frac{K (t, s) y (s)}{\sqrt{t - s}} d s, 0 \leq t \leq T,

(2)

using d05byc. In (2),

K (t, s)

and

f (t)

are given and the solution

y (t)

is sought on a uniform mesh of size

h

such that

T = N \times h

. Discretization of (2) yields

y_{i} = f (i \times h) + \sqrt{h} \sum_{j = 0}^{2 p - 2} W_{i, j} K (i \times h, j \times h) y_{j} + \sqrt{h} \sum_{j = 2 p - 1}^{i} ω_{i - j} K (i \times h, j \times h) y_{j},

(3)

where

y_{i} ≃ y (i \times h)

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, N

. We propose the following algorithm for computing

y_{i}

from (3) after a call to d05byc:

(a)Set $N = 2^{iq + 1} + 2 \times iorder - 2$ and $h = T / N$ .
(b)Equation (3) requires $2 \times iorder - 2$ starting values, $y_{j}$ , for $j = 1, 2, \dots, 2 \times iorder - 2$ , with $y_{0} = f (0)$ . These starting values can be computed by solving the system

$y_{i} = f (i \times h) + \sqrt{h} \sum_{j = 0}^{2 \times iorder - 2} sw [j \times N + i] K (i \times h, j \times h) y_{j}, i = 1, 2, \dots, 2 \times iorder - 2 .$
(c)Compute the inhomogeneous terms

$σ_{i} = f (i \times h) + \sqrt{h} \sum_{j = 0}^{2 \times iorder - 2} sw [j \times N + i] K (i \times h, j \times h) y_{j}, i = 2 \times iorder - 1, 2 \times iorder, \dots, N .$
(d)Start the iteration for $i = 2 \times iorder - 1, 2 \times iorder, \dots, N$ to compute $y_{i}$ from:

$(1 - \sqrt{h} omega [0] K (i \times h, i \times h)) y_{i} = σ_{i} + \sqrt{h} \sum_{j = 2 \times iorder - 1}^{i - 1} omega [i - j] K (i \times h, j \times h) y_{j} .$

Note that for nonlinear weakly singular equations, the solution of a nonlinear algebraic system is required at step (b) and a single nonlinear equation at step (d).
