In Noble's book The Wiener Hopf Technique, Pergamon, 1958, he considers the coupled system of Wiener–Hopf equations (§4.4, pp. 153–154)[Formula: see text]He shows that provided the functions L(α), M(α), Q(α), and R(α) have only simple pole singularities the solution can be reduced to two sets of infinite simultaneous linear algebraic equations. In this article a different approach is used which gives the solution in the form of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. This Fredholm integral equation can be reduced to infinite sets of simultaneous linear algebraic equations under the less restrictive conditions that either (i) L(α)/M(α) has no branch points in the lower α-half plane: Im(α) < τ+; or (ii) Q(α)/R(α) has no branch points in the upper α-half plane: Im(α) > τ−. In the special case considered by Noble if L(α)/M(α) (or Q(α)/R(α)) only have simple poles in the lower (upper) half plane then the Fredholm integral equation reduces to one infinite set of simultaneous equations. This extends the Wiener–Hopf technique to yet a larger class of boundary value problems, and simplifies the numerical computations.

AbstractA method of approximate solution of the linear one-dimensional Fredholm integral equation of the second kind is constructed. With the help of the Steklov averaging operator the integral equation is approximated by a system of linear algebraic equations. On the basis of the approximation used an increased order convergence solution has been obtained.

The contact problem of an elastic stiffener bonded to an elastic half plane with different mechanical properties is considered. The governing integral equation is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations. It is shown that, depending on the value of a parameter which is a function of the elastic constants and the thickness of the stiffener, the system is either regular or quasi-regular. A complete numerical example is given for which the strength of the stress singularity and the contact stresses are tabulated.

A new approach to solving the problem of instability of a system of linear algebraic equations (SLAE) with an ill-conditioned matrix describing a discrete model of the Fredholm integral equation of the sec-ond kind, which reduces the calculation by the method of secondary sources of three-dimensional static and quasi-stationary electromagnetic fields of any geometry in inhomogeneous and nonlinear media, is considered. The essence of the new approach is all about. There is a method for correctly compiling a description of an electrical circuit. In this method, for the first time, when describing an electrical cir-cuit, the parameters of a specific task are taken into account, but they are not taking into account in other methods. As a result, the solution to the problem is stable even in the case of a SLAE with an ill-conditioned matrix. The disadvantage of this method is the description of the electrical circuit in the form of a graph. The description of the discrete model of the integral equation is proposed to be trans-formed to a form of representation that satisfies the method of describing the electric circuit. To achieve this goal, the following tasks have been completed. The requirements of the method of correct compila-tion of the description, which the form of the description of the discrete model of the integral equation must satisfy, are formulated. The analysis of the linear discrete model of the integral equation is carried out, the graph of the discrete model is constructed, and the requirements for the method of transform-ing this graph to the graph that meets the requirements of the method are formulated. A technique for transforming a graph of a discrete model into a graph that meets the requirements of the method has been developed. Final result: a description of a discrete model of the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind, compiled by the method of secondary sources in the form of a graph, satisfying the re-quirements of the method is presented.

Recent advances in smart structures technology have lead to a resurgence of interest in piezoelectricity, and in particular, in the solution of fundamental boundary value problems. In this paper, we develop an analytic solution to the axisymmetric problem of an infinitely long, radially polarized, radially orthotropic piezoelectric hollow circular cylinder rotating about its axis at constant angular velocity. The cylinder is subjected to uniform internal pressure, or a constant potential difference between its inner and outer surfaces, or both. An analytic solution to the governing equilibrium equations (a coupled system of second-order ordinary differential equations) is obtained. On application of the boundary conditions, the problem is reduced to solving a system of linear algebraic equations. The stress distribution in the tube is obtained numerically for a specific piezoceramic of technological interest, namely PZT-4. For the special problem of a uniformly rotating solid cylinder with traction-free surface and zero applied electric charge, explicit closed-form solutions are obtained. It is shown that for certain piezoelectric solids, stress singularities at the origin can occur analogous to those occurring in the purely mechanical problem for radially orthotropic elastic materials.

A linearized two-dimensional theory is presented for high-speed hydrofoils near the free surface. The "direct" problem (hydrofoil shape specified) is attacked by replacing the actual foil with vortex and source sheets. The resulting integral equation for the strength of the singularity distribution is recast into an infinite set of linear algebraic equations relating the unknown constants in a Glauert-type vorticity expansion to the boundary condition on the foil. The solution is achieved using a matrix inversion technique and it is found that the matrix relating the known and unknown constants is a function of depth of submergence alone. Inversion of this matrix at each depth allows the vorticity constants to be calculated for any arbitrary foil section by matrix multiplication. The inverted matrices have been calculated for several depth-to-chord ratios and are presented herein. Several examples for specific camber and thickness distributions are given, and results indicate significant effects in the force characteristics at depths less than one chord. In particular, thickness effects cause a loss of lift at shallow submergences which may be an appreciable percentage of the total design lift. The second part treats the "indirect" problem of designing a hydrofoil sectional shape at a given depth to achieve a specified pressure loading. Similar to the "direct" problem treated in the first part, integral equations are derived for the camber and thickness functions by replacing the actual foil by vortex and source sheets. The solution is obtained by recasting these equations into an infinite set of linear algebraic equations relating the constants in a series expansion of the foil geometry to the known pressure boundary conditions. The matrix relating the known and unknown constants is, again, a function of the depth of submergence alone, and inversion techniques allow the sectional shape to be determined for arbitrary design pressure distributions. Several examples indicate the procedure and results are presented for the change in sectional shape for a given pressure loading as the depth of submergence of the foil is decreased.

AbstractThe principal result of this paper states sufficient conditions for the convergence of the solutions of certain linear algebraic equations to the solution of a (linear) singular integral equation with Cauchy kernel. The motivation for this study has been the need to provide a convergence theory for a collocation method applied to the singular integral equation taken over the arc (−1, 1). However, much of the analysis will be applicable both to other approximation methods and to singular integral equations taken over other arcs or contours. An estimate for the rate of convergence is also given.

AbstractKnowledge about the foliage angle density g(α) of the leaves in the canopy of trees is crucial in foresty mangement, modelling canopy reflectance, and environmental monitoring. It is usually determined from observations of the contact frequency f(β) by solving a version of the first kind Fredholm integral equation derived by Reeve (Appendix in Warren Wilson [22]). However, for inference purposes, the practitioner uses functionals defined on g(α), such as the leaf area index F, rather than g(α) itself. Miller [12] has shown that F can be computed directly from f(β) without solving the integral equation. In this paper, we show that his result is a special case of a general transformation for linear functionals defined on g(α). The key is the existence of an alternative inversion formula for the integral equation to that derived by Miller [11].

The problem of arbitrary excitation of waves by a system of external sources near an anisotropic metasurface in the form of an elliptical cylinder with a surface homogenized impedance tensor of general form is solved. The solution to the problem is written as a superposition of E- and H-waves in elliptical coordinates. The partial reflection coefficients of waves were found from the boundary conditions using the orthogonality of the Mathieu angular functions. For these coefficients, four coupled infinite systems of linear algebraic equations of the second kind are obtained. The conditions under which the solution of the excitation problem by the method of eigenfunctions is obtained in an explicit form are found and analyzed. It is shown that for this, the surface impedance tensor of a uniform metasurface must belong to a class of deviators (have zero diagonal elements). In the particular case of a mutual (most easily realized) metasurface, its impedance tensor should only be reactance. In another special case, the impedance tensor of a set of deviators describes a class of anisotropic nonreciprocal metasurfaces with the so-called perfect electromagnetic conductivity (PEMC).

A scheme is constructed for the numerical solution of a singular integral equation with a logarithmic kernel by the method of orthogonal polynomials. The proposed schemes for an approximate solution of the problem are based on the representation of the solution function in the form of a linear combination of the Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials and spectral relations that allows to obtain simple analytical expressions for the singular component of the equation. The expansion coefficients of the solution in terms of the Chebyshev polynomial basis are calculated by solving a system of linear algebraic equations. The results of numerical experiments show that on a grid of 20 –30 points, the error of the approximate solution reaches the minimum limit due to the error in representing real floating-point numbers.
