Approximate Solution of a Hypersingular Integral Equation of the First Kind Bounded at Both Ends of the Integration Segment Using Chebyshev Series

A hypersingular integral equation on the interval of integration is considered. The hypersingular integral is understood in the sense of Hadamard, that is, in the finite part. The class of such equations is widely used in problems of mathematical physics, in technology, and most importantly: in recent years, they are one of the main devices for modeling problems in electrodynamics. With the use of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, the unknown function, the right-hand side and the kernel are replaced in the equation. The expansion coefficients of these functions are calculated using quadrature formulas of the highest algebraic degree of accuracy, i.e., Gauss quadrature formulas. Thus, the equation is discretized. The result is an infinite system of linear algebraic equations for the expansion coefficients of the unknown function. The fact that the hypersingular integral equation in the case under consideration has a unique solution in the class of sufficiently smooth functions is taken into account. The constructed computational scheme is substantiated using the general theory of functional analysis. The calculation error is estimated under certain conditions relative to the right-hand side and the kernel of the equation. The described method for solving the hypersingular integral equation is illustrated by test examples that show the high efficiency of the method.
