Solution of integral eqs. via Chebyshev expansions

Journal Article · · Bulletin of the American Physical Society
OSTI ID:255613
Greengard and Rokhlin`s method of solving certain integral equations consists in dividing the integration interval into N sub-intervals, in each sub-interval expanding the solution into Chebyshev polynomials, and subsequently recombining the sub-intervals into one. We present a new improved form of the recombination procedure, developed in a collaboration between the Physics and Mathematics Departments, which is both fast and numerically stable. We give examples for the solution of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, and evaluate overlap integrals of two such solutions and a potential. Our method is well suited especially if the integrand is very oscillatory, since the truncation errors can be controlled rigorously.
