A new operational method to solve Abel’s and generalized Abel’s integral equations

Based on Jacobi polynomials, an operational method is proposed to solve the generalized Abel’s integral equations (a class of singular integral equations). These equations appear in various fields of science such as physics, astrophysics, solid mechanics, scattering theory, spectroscopy, stereology, elasticity theory, and plasma physics. To solve the Abel’s singular integral equations, a fast algorithm is used for simplifying the problem under study. The Laplace transform and Jacobi collocation methods are merged, and thus, a novel approach is presented. Some theorems are given and established to theoretically support the computational simplifications which reduce costs. Also, a new procedure for estimating the absolute error of the proposed method is introduced. In order to show the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method some numerical results are provided. It is found that the proposed method has lesser computational size compared to other common methods, such as Adomian decomposition, Homotopy perturbation, Block-Pulse function, mid-point, trapezoidal quadrature, and product-integration. It is further found that the absolute errors are almost constant in the studied interval.
