โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we propose new numerical methods for linear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind with weakly singular kernels. The methods are developed by means of the Sinc approximation with smoothing transformations, which is an effective technique against the singularities of the equations. Numerical examples show that the methods achieve exponential convergence, and in this sense the methods improve conventional results where only polynomial convergence have been reported so far.

We discuss the convergence properties of spline collocation and iterated collocation methods for a weakly singular Volterra integral equation associated with certain heat conduction problems. This work completes the previous studies of numerical methods for this type of equations with noncompact ker
