1. Introduction
Recent years have shown the importance of evaluating singular and hypersingular integrals with rapidly oscillating kernels in mathematical modeling of wave processes in many areas of physics and technology: electrodynamics (waveguides, gyrotrons), aerodynamics, geophysics (transformation of gravity and magnetic fields), etc.
Today, there are very few manuscripts devoted to approximate methods for evaluating singular integrals with rapidly oscillating kernels. We are unaware of papers dealing with approximate methods for evaluating hypersingular integrals with rapidly oscillating kernels.
In this paper, we construct an optimal with respect to order quadrature formulas for evaluating singular and hypersingular integrals on Hölder functions and differentiable function classes.
The paper is organized as follows:
Section 1 contains the review of publications evaluating singular integrals with rapidly oscillating functions. In this section, we give the definitions of singular and hypersingular integrals and optimal algorithms for their evaluation.
In Section 2, Levin’s method is extended to singular and hypersingular integrals.
In Section 3, we introduce an optimal with respect to order quadrature formulas for calculating singular integrals with oscillating functions.
In Section 4, we present methods for evaluating the hypersingular integrals with rapidly oscillating functions.
In Section 5, we give the conclusions of our study.
1.1. Literature Review
An extensive literature exists regarding approximate methods for singular and hypersingular integral evaluation. Detailed reviews are given in [,,,,,,,]. Very few publications concentrate on approximate methods for evaluating singular integrals with oscillating kernels [,,,,,,,,].
Here, we give a brief overview of the manuscripts considering singular integrals with oscillating kernels.

1.2. Definitions of Singular and Hypersingular Integrals
Recall the definitions of function classes.
Let be the unit circle centered at the origin in the plane of the complex variable. Let or .
Definition 1.
Hölder function class consists of functions defined on A satisfying the inequality .
Definition 2.
The class consists of functions which have absolutely continuous derivatives of orders and a piecewise continuous derivative satisfying
Definition 3.
The class consists of functions belonging to the class and satisfying the additional condition .
Consider the integral
Definition 4.
The Cauchy principal value of the singular integral (6) is called the limit
Recall the definitions of hypersingular integrals. Hadamard [] introduced a new type of integral, hypersingular integrals:
Definition 5.
The integral of the type
for an integer p and defines a value of the above integral (“finite part”) as the limit of the sum
as if one assumes that has p derivatives in the neighborhood of point b. Here, is any function that satisfies the following two conditions:
- (i)
- The above limit exists;
- (ii)
- has at least p derivatives in the neighborhood of a point .
An arbitrary choice of does not depend on the value of the limit in (i). Condition (ii) defines the values of first derivatives of at point b. An arbitrary additional term in the numerator is infinitesimal, of order .
Notation 1.
Hadamard [] gave a fascinating report of various aspects of the creative process in solving mathematical problems and, in particular, on his discovery of hypersingular integrals.
Chikin [] introduced the definition of the Cauchy–Hadamard type integral that generalized a singular integral in the Cauchy principal and Hadamard sense.
Definition 6.
The Cauchy–Hadamard principal sense of the following integral
is defined as the limit of the expression
where is a function chosen so as to provide the existence of the limit above.
In some cases, it is more convenient to use the following definition of hypersingular integrals, which is equivalent to Definition 6.
Definition 7.
Let A hypersingular integral with order of singularity, is defined by
1.3. Optimal Quadrature Formulas for Calculating Singular and Hypersingular Integrals
Formulation of the problem of constructing the best quadrature formula belongs to Kolmogorov. Bakhvalov introduced [] the concepts of asymptotically optimal and optimal with respect to order passive algorithms for solving problems in numerical analysis. Other approaches to determine optimal passive algorithms are given in [,,].
We give now the definition of optimal quadrature formulas for singular integrals.
Consider the quadrature rule
The error (8) is
The error of (8) on class is
We introduce the functional
where the lower bound takes over all the nodes and the coefficients
The quadrature Formula (8) is defined by a set of nodes and coefficients called optimal, asymptotically optimal and optimal with respect to order if respectively.
In a similar way, the concept of optimal, asymptotically optimal and optimal with respect to order quadrature formulas for evaluating hypersingular integrals is introduced.
Remark 1.
Let Let the integral be evaluated with quadrature formula
with fixed nodes and fixed coefficients In this case, the functional is equivalent to the Peano constant. Theory of the Peano constants is a very important part of classical numerical theory (see []). Comparing the definitions of the Peano constant and optimal quadrature formulas, one can observe that the Peano constant theory is a special case of optimal algorithms theory.
2. Levin’s Method for Evaluating Singular and Hypersingular Integrals with Rapidly Oscillating Kernels
We present an application of Levin’s method for evaluating hypersingular integrals with rapidly oscillating kernels.
Consider the integral
Differentiating the left-hand side, we have
moreover, it is enough to consider the equation
If it is possible to find an analytical solution of Equation (10), then
Note that when solving the differential Equation (11), the singularity can be avoided for
Indeed, by the definition of the hypersingular integral, we have
The function has continuous derivatives up to order in a neighborhood of zero and is chosen such that the limit exists.
Taking the integrals separately on the right-hand side of (12) and applying the formula (11) to each of them, we have
The functions can be represented as a sum:
where the first term tends to infinity as , and the second term tends to the finite limit.
Obviously,
Assuming that the function is continuous at []. Then, and from (13) the final formula follows:
Thus, the analogue of the Newton–Leibniz formula for hypersingular integrals has been obtained. The application of the Newton–Leibniz formula for hypersingular integrals for certain function classes has been shown in [].
It follows from the above that for evaluating hypersingular integrals with rapidly oscillating kernels, one can use numerical methods for solving ordinary differential equations.
3. Quadrature Formulas for Evaluating Singular Integrals with Rapidly Oscillating Functions
In this section, we study methods for evaluating the following types of singular integrals with rapidly oscillating functions
where m is a natural number.
Note that integral (14) is reduced by the Hilbert transformation to integral (15). Therefore, in this section we can restrict ourselves to considering the integral (15).
3.1. Lower Bound Estimates for Quadrature Formula Errors
First, we find a lower bound estimate for the quadrature formula errors using N values of integrands.
The integral (15) will be evaluated using the quadrature formula
We find a lower bound estimate of the error for (16) provided that
In doing so, we generalize the method for constructing optimal quadrature formulas for evaluating singular integrals proposed in [,].
There are two cases: (1) (2)
First, assume
Introduce the nodes Note .
Let form a union of nodes and Without loss of generality, assume the sets of nodes and do not intersect.
It follows from below that when some nodes coincide, the lower bound error of the quadrature formula does not decrease. Thus, we assume that the number of nodes , is equal to .
Let be segments
To each node we assign the following function
Then,
Let us average the previous inequality over We have
Here,
Estimate from below the integral under the following conditions: (1) the function (2) the function is non-negative; (3) the function vanishes at points
The set of nodes is a union of three sets
Let
Then, there are at least segments in which there are no nodes from the sets , and We call such segments marked.
It is easy to see that in the marked segments
Thus, for , we have the estimate
From this estimate and the inequality (18), we have
Here, and below C, are the constants independent of N and
For , we must change the proof. Let be a union of node sets and .
Let
Each node is associated with the function
Then,
Averaging the previous inequality over we have
Estimate from below the integral
The integral takes the smallest value if in each interval there is at most one node .
It was shown above (19) that if there are no nodes in , then
Next, consider the case when the interval contains more than one node from . Without loss of generality, we assume .
First, let the interval contain one node from the set . Obviously,
Assume now that the interval contains two nodes from . This means there is an interval which does not contain nodes from .
Thus, the minimum of the integral is achieved under the assumption that each interval has at most one node .
Other cases for the distribution of nodes over intervals are studied similarly.
From this estimate and the inequality (20), we have for
For the second case, consider It is enough to introduce additional nodes Let the set be the union of nodes Each node is associated with the function constructed by analogy with the function (see (17)). It is easy to see that there are at least N intervals in which there are no nodes from the sets and
Repeating the above arguments yields
Theorem 1.
Let For all possible quadrature formulas of the form (16) using N nodes, the following estimate holds
where are constants independent of N.
Making the proof more difficult yields the following statement.
Theorem 2.
Let be For all possible quadrature formulas of the form (16) using N nodes, the following estimate holds:
Estimate from below the error of quadrature formulas of (16) on the class.
In order to simplify the presentation, we give the proof for only.
We introduce the nodes
To each node we assign the function
Estimating the integral
and then averaging the result over we obtain the required estimate for .
Theorem 3.
Let For all possible quadrature formulas of the form (16) using N nodes, the following estimate holds:
3.2. Quadrature Formulas
Let us construct quadrature formulas for evaluating integrals of (15).
We start by considering singular integrals with the Hilbert kernel:
where is an integer.
First, we consider the integral
The function is approximated by the interpolation polynomial
where
We have for
Above, we used ([], p.36)
for m integer.
Next, consider the integral
As above, the function is approximated by the interpolation polynomial .
Obviously, for ,
Now, we study error estimates for constructed quadrature formulas. It is enough to consider the quadrature Formula (29). It is easy to see that the error of (29) is estimated by the inequality
Here, .
Evaluate each term separately,
where is the best approximation in the uniform metric for the function f by nth-order trigonometric polynomials
The following statement is well known.
Theorem 4
([]). Let be an n-order trigonometric polynomial satisfying the inequality
Then, where C is a constant independent of n.
Thus
Setting , we have
From the estimates and , we have
and, therefore, on the function class
The final estimate is valid for any .
Now, we consider the following quadrature formula for evaluation.
We approximate the function by the polygon , constructed on the nodes
The integral will be evaluated using the quadrature formula
The error of (32) is estimated by
Consider two cases: (1) (2) .
Start with the first one.
Let be
Estimate the integral
for .
Set Obviously, .
Obviously,
Let Estimate the integral
Let . Set .
Represent the previous integral as
Estimate each of the integrals separately.
Obviously,
Estimate the integral . We have
Estimate .
Obviously,
The inequality
is proved in a similar way.
Consider the second case, . Let
Estimating (34), we again consider two cases, and .
For the first one, after making some calculations, it can be shown that the largest error is yielded for functions of the form .
Then,
Now, let and
We represent the integral as
Obviously,
where .
Making calculations similar to those above, we obtain the estimate
where constants are independent of N.
Theorem 5.
Similarly, we can prove the following.
Theorem 6.
Using the Hilbert transformation, we obtain
To evaluate the integral , we use the quadrature formula
where is a projection operator onto a set of interpolating trigonometric polynomials on nodes .
The error of (46) is estimated by
where
The estimates and have been obtained above (see (31)).
The estimates hold:
Transform the integrals
and
It was shown above that
Thus, the following quadrature formula is valid:
Estimates (48)–(50) hold:
where is the best uniform approximation of the function f by trigonometric polynomials of order n.
Let us take a look at an illustration of the quadrature formulas we have discussed. Consider an integral
where m is integer. Let us apply the quadrature Formula (29) for evaluation of the integral:
where and for . We present the results of evaluation of the integral by series summation and by quadrature formula in Figure 1. We observe rapid convergence of the quadrature formula to the exact value of the integral. We also show that the amplitude of the oscillations is determined by the function , as is suggested by Equation (29).
4. Approximate Evaluation of Hypersingular Integrals with Rapidly Oscillating Functions
In this section, we study approximate methods for evaluating hypersingular integrals of the form
Here, is a unit circle centered at the origin in the complex plane, m is a natural number. To obtain a lower bound estimate for the error of the quadrature formula, we use the Hilbert transformation from the integral (56) to the hypersingular integral with a Hilbert kernel. We change the variables in (56):
Now, we have
Converting the fraction yields
Thus, to estimate from below the error for evaluation integrals of the form (56) by quadrature formulas constructed on N nodes, it is enough to study the integrals of the form
Evaluate the hypersingular integral
by the quadrature formula
on the function class
When estimating the error of the quadrature formula from below, two cases should be considered:
- (1)
- p is an even natural number;
- (2)
- p is an odd natural number.
Let us first study an integral with a singularity of the even order.
Let
The set of nodes is obtained by merging and
We introduce the function
The constant A is chosen such that
To each node we assign the function
Then,
Averaging the previous inequality over , we have
Now, we obtain the estimate of the integral under the following assumptions:
- (1)
- (2)
- (3)
First, let Repeating the arguments above when studying singular integrals, we have
For , we have
Thus, for even p, we obtain the estimate
For odd p, the construction is more complicated. Nevertheless, we are sure that the following estimate is valid:
Finally, the theorem is proved.
Theorem 7.
When constructing quadrature formulas for hypersingular integral evaluation, we will use Definition 7, which allows us to construct methods for hypersingular integral evaluation based on well-known methods for evaluating singular integrals.
From Definition 7, it follows that
To estimate , note that the integrals
and
are trigonometric polynomials of the th order.
As shown above,
Using Theorem 5, we obtain the estimate
Setting , we finally have
5. Conclusions
We studied approximate methods for evaluating Cauchy and Hilbert singular and hypersingular integrals with rapidly oscillating kernels. In the case of periodic integrable functions, lower and upper bound quadrature formula estimates have been obtained. Optimals with respect to order quadrature formulas for certain classes of functions have been constructed. We developed a method for constructing and estimating quadrature formulas for hypersingular integrals, based on similar results for singular integrals.
Finally, we point out a few key points of our study presented in this paper:
(1) We introduced a method to estimate below quadrature formulas for evaluating singular and hypersingular integrals with rapidly oscillating kernels (in this paper, a method to obtain lower bound estimates by functional in the class of functions ). Moreover, these estimates can be obtained from any set of N nodes located in the range of integration and N values of integrand function.
The method can be extended to singular and hypersingular integrals defined on other varieties, to polysingular and polyhypersingular integrals and to many dimensional singular and hypersingular integrals. The existence of lower bound estimates of functional allows us to construct an optimal with respect to order (to accuracy) passive algorithms for evaluating corresponding integrals in the classes of functions .
(2) We proposed a method to construct quadrature formulas for evaluating hypersingular integrals and their error estimates based on quadrature formulas for evaluating singular integrals.
(3) We proposed optimals with respect to order quadrature formulas, which are apparently the most effective among known methods for evaluating singular and hypersingular integrals with rapidly oscillating kernels. We made a comparison of the efficiency of quadrature Formulas (29), (30) and (58) with well-known rules.
Using Levin’s method, one must analytically solve the equation
where g and f are known functions.
Applying numerical methods to solve this equation might cause some difficulties due to singularity at point t on the right-hand side of the equation.
Thus, Levin’s method has some application limitations.
In [], an interpolation quadrature formula was constructed to evaluate integrals of the type
with fixed singularity a.
When constructing a quadrature formula, function is approximated by an interpolation polynomial with nodes. A set of nodes contains a particular point a.
Thus, in [], it was necessary to construct the quadrature formula for each value of .
Implementation of other methods, constructed in the cited literature here, causes greater smoothness of integrand functions than in our computations.
