Methods are described for the numerical solution of two non-linear integral equations occurring in a hydrodynamical problem. In each case the existence of an essential singularity of the solution requires the application of special techniques. The asymptotic form of the solutions for large x is determined.


The integral equations discussed and illustrated are those of Fredholm, with fixed limits in the integral and including the eigenvalue problem, and of Volterra, with a variable upper limit in the integral. The methods are mostly based on finite-difference theory, the integrals being replaced by formulae for numerical quadrature. Computational details are given for several methods, and there is a discussion of error analysis for Volterra’s equation. Some methods are given for accelerating the convergence of classical iterative processes.

An investigation has been made into the numerical solution of non-singular linear integral equations by the direct expansion of the unknown function f(x) into a series of Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind. The use of polynomial expansions is not new, and was first described by Crout [1]. He writes f(x) as a Lagrangian-type polynomial over the range in x, and determines the unknown coefficients in this expansion by evaluating the functions and integral arising in the equation at chosen points xi. A similar method (known as collocation) is used here for cases where the kernel is not separable. From the properties of expansion of functions in Chebyshev series (see, for example, [2]), one expects greater accuracy in this case when compared with other polynomial expansions of the same order. This is well borne out in comparison with one of Crout's examples.
