3 Description

d05aaf solves an integral equation of the form

f (x) - λ \int_{a}^{b} k (x, s) f (s) d s = g (x)

for

a \leq x \leq b

, when the kernel

k

is defined in two parts:

k = k_{1}

for

a \leq s \leq x

and

k = k_{2}

for

x < s \leq b

. The method used is that of El–Gendi (1969) for which, it is important to note, each of the functions

k_{1}

and

k_{2}

must be defined, smooth and nonsingular, for all

x

and

s

in the interval

[a, b]

An approximation to the solution

f (x)

is found in the form of an

n

term Chebyshev series

{\sum^{'}}_{i = 1}^{n} c_{i} T_{i} (x)

, where

^{'}

indicates that the first term is halved in the sum. The coefficients

c_{i}

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, n

, of this series are determined directly from approximate values

f_{i}

, for

i = 1, 2, \dots, n

, of the function

f (x)

at the first

n

of a set of

m + 1

Chebyshev points:

x_{i} = \frac{1}{2} (a + b + (b - a) \cos [(i - 1) π / m]), i = 1, 2, \dots, m + 1 .

The values

f_{i}

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

m = n - 1

. However, if the kernel

k

is centro-symmetric in the interval

[a, b]

, i.e., if

k (x, s) = k (a + b - x, a + b - s)

, 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

g (x)

implies symmetry in the function

f (x)

. In particular, if

g (x)

is even about the mid-point of the range of integration, then so also is

f (x)

, which may be approximated by an even Chebyshev series with

m = 2 n - 1

. Similarly, if

g (x)

is odd about the mid-point then

f (x)

may be approximated by an odd series with

m = 2 n

12: $w2 (ldw2, 4)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace

13: $wd (ldw2)$ – Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Workspace

14: $ldw1$ – Integer Input

On entry: the first dimension of the array w1 as declared in the (sub)program from which d05aaf is called.

Constraint:

ldw1 \geq n

15: $ldw2$ – Integer Input

On entry: the second dimension of the array w1 and the first dimension of the array w2 and the dimension of the array wd as declared in the (sub)program from which d05aaf is called.

Constraint:

16: $ifail$ – Integer Input/Output

On entry: ifail must be set to

0

−1

1

to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.

A value of

0

causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of

−1

means that an error message is printed while a value of

1

means that it is not.

If halting is not appropriate, the value

−1

1

is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value

1

is recommended. Otherwise, the value

0

is recommended. When the value $- 1$ or $1$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.

On exit:

ifail = 0

unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry

ifail = 0

−1

, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).

Errors or warnings detected by the routine:

$ifail = 1$: On entry, $a = ⟨ value ⟩$ and $b = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $b > a$ .

On entry, $n = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $n \geq 1$ .

$ifail = 2$: A failure has occurred due to proximity of 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, $m = 1$ , the matrix reduces to a zero-valued number.

$ifail = - 99$: An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

$ifail = - 399$: Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

$ifail = - 999$: Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 9 in the Introduction to the NAG Library FL Interface for further information.

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 $c_{i}$ , or
(ii)by comparing the coefficients $c_{i}$ or the function values $f_{i}$ for two or more values of n.

8 Parallelism and Performance

d05aaf is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
