Abstract

A numerical developed technique to solve Fredholm integral equation of the second kind with separable singular kernel is proposed. This technique relies on the truncated expansion functions of the kernels in the finite series of the weighted Chebyshev polynomials of first, second, third, and fourth kinds. Three numerical examples are presented for verification and validation of the developed technique. The results showed that even with small n, the numerical results are accurate.

Key words: Singular integral equations, singular kernel, Cauchy singularity, Chebyshev polynomial, weight function accuracy.
