Abstract

An automatic quadrature method is presented for approximating the indefinite integral of functions having algebraic–logarithmic singularities Q(x,y,c;f)=∫xyf(t)|t-c|αlog|t-c|dt, -1⩽x,y,c⩽1-1⩽x,y,c⩽1, α>-1α>-1, within a finite range [-1,1][-1,1] for some smooth function f(t)f(t), that is approximated by a finite sum of Chebyshev polynomials. We expand the given indefinite integral in terms of Chebyshev polynomials by using auxiliary algebraic–logarithmic functions. Present scheme approximates the indefinite integral Q(x,y,c;f)Q(x,y,c;f) uniformly, namely bounds the approximation error independently of the value c as well x and y  . This fact enables us to evaluate the integral transform Q(x,y,c;f)Q(x,y,c;f) with varied values of x, y and c efficiently. Some numerical examples illustrate the performance of the present quadrature scheme.
