Nodal-Type Newton-Cotes Rules for Fractional Hypersingular Integrals

Abstract

Nodal-type Newton-Cotes rules for fractional hypersingular integrals based on the piecewise k-th order Newton interpolations are proposed. A general error estimate is first derived on quasi-uniform meshes and then we show that the even-order rules exhibit the superconvergence phenomenon — i.e. if the singular point is far away from the endpoints then the accuracy of the method is one order higher than the general estimate. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.
