## Dedicated to G. C. Hsiao on the occasion of his 60th birthday The two-dimensional frictionless contact problem of linear isotropic elasticity in the half-space is treated as a boundary variational inequality involving the Poincare-Steklov operator and discretized by linear boundary elements. Qua

β¦ Synopsis
The e cient numerical evaluation of integrals arising in the boundary element method is of considerable practical importance. The superiority of the use of sigmoidal and semi-sigmoidal transformations together with Gauss-Legendre quadrature in this context has already been well-demonstrated numerically by one of the authors. In this paper, the authors obtain asymptotic estimates of the truncation errors for these algorithms. These estimates allow an informed choice of both the transformation and the quadrature error in the evaluation of boundary element integrals with algebraic or algebraic=logarithmic singularities at an end-point of the interval of integration.

The paper attempts to improve the efficiency of a general method developed previously for computing nearly singular kernel integrals. Three new formulations are presented by following an approach similar to that used in the previous method. Their numerical efficiency is compared with the previous me
