AbstractIn this paper, a Chebyshev-collocation spectral method is developed for Volterra integral equations (VIEs) of second kind with weakly singular kernel. We first change the equation into an equivalent VIE so that the solution of the new equation possesses better regularity. The integral term in the resulting VIE is approximated by Gauss quadrature formulas using the Chebyshev collocation points. The convergence analysis of this method is based on the Lebesgue constant for the Lagrange interpolation polynomials, approximation theory for orthogonal polynomials, and the operator theory. The spectral rate of convergence for the proposed method is established in theL∞-norm and weightedL2-norm. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

AbstractWe construct collocation methods with an arbitrary degree of accuracy for integral equations with logarithmically or algebraically singular kernels. Superconvergence at collocation points is obtained. A grid is used, the degree of non-uniformity of which is in good conformity with the smoothness of the solution and the desired accuracy of the method.
