On the rate of convergence of projection-iterative methods for classes of weakly singular integral equations

Abstract

For classes of weakly singular integral equations of the second kind whose kernels have a power singularity, we find the optimal order of the rate of convergence of projection-iterative methods. Moreover, iterative methods of the Sokolov type are considered and, for weakly singular equations with differentiable coefficients, we present estimates of the rate of convergence of such methods.
