Gauss–Legendre and Chebyshev quadratures for singular integrals

Exact expressions are presented for efficient computation of the weights in Gauss–Legendre and Chebyshev quadratures for selected singular integrands. The singularities may be of Cauchy type, logarithmic type or algebraic-logarithmic end-point branching points. We provide Fortran 90 routines for computing the weights for both the Gauss–Legendre and the Chebyshev (Fejér-1) meshes whose size can be set by the user.New program summaryProgram title: SINGQUADCatalogue identifier: AEBR_v1_0Program summary URL:http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/summaries/AEBR_v1_0.htmlProgram obtainable from: CPC Program Library, Queen's University, Belfast, N.

The weights are expressed as moments of the singular kernels associated with Legendre or Chebyshev polynomials. These moments are obtained in analytic form amenable for computation.Additional comments: If the NAGWare f95 compiler is used, the option, “-kind = byte”, must be included in the compile command lines of the Makefile.Running time: The test run supplied with the distribution takes a couple of seconds to execute.
