Abstract
This paper presents Haar wavelet approximation to solve a singular integral equation which has singularities on a diagonal of the domain R=[-1,1]×[-1,1]. The singularities arise basically due to modified Bessel function K0 which appears as a part of the kernel. Thus the integral equation is weakly (logarithmically) singular only. The problem is solved considering all the singularities of the kernel and results are examined for approximations of different orders. Our interest to solve the problem using Haar wavelet basis is due to its simplicity and efficiency in numerical approximation. The results show convergence trend as mesh is refined. Comparison is made with some available results obtained earlier by partial consideration of the singularities.
