Trigonometric Hermite wavelet approximation for the integral equations of second kind with weakly singular kernel

This paper is concerned with a trigonometric Hermite wavelet Galerkin method for the Fredholm integral equations with weakly singular kernel. The kernel function of this integral equation considered here includes two parts, a weakly singular kernel part and a smooth kernel part. The approximation estimates for the weakly singular kernel function and the smooth part based on the trigonometric Hermite wavelet constructed by E. Quak [Trigonometric wavelets for Hermite interpolation, Math. Comp. 65 (1996) 683-722] are developed. The use of trigonometric Hermite interpolant wavelets for the discretization leads to a circulant block diagonal symmetrical system matrix. It is shown that we only need to compute and store O(N) entries for the weakly singular kernel representation matrix with dimensions N^2 which can reduce the whole computational cost and storage expense. The computational schemes of the resulting matrix elements are provided for the weakly singular kernel function. Furthermore, the convergence analysis is developed for the trigonometric wavelet method in this paper.
