An integro-differential equation of Prandtl's type and a collocation method as well as a collocation-quadrature method for its approximate solution is studied in weighted spaces of continuous functions.

Collocation and quadrature methods for singular integro-differential equations of Prandtl's type are studied in weighted Sobolev spaces. A fast algorithm basing on the quadrature method is proposed. Convergence results and error estimates are given

The present paper gives a contribution of wavelet aspects to classical algebraic polynomial approximation theory. As is so often the case in classical approximation, the authors follow the pattern provided by the trigonometric polynomial case. Algebraic polynomial interpolating scaling functions and wavelets are constructed by using the interpolation properties of de la Vallée Poussin kernels with respect to the four kinds of Chebyshev weights. For the decomposition and reconstruction of a given function the structure of the involved matrices is studied in order to reduce the computational effort by means of fast discrete cosine and sine transforms.

The authors develop an algorithm for the numerical evaluation of Cauchy principal value integrals of oscillatory functions. The method is based on an interpolatory procedure at the zeros of the orthogonal polynomials with respect to a Jacobi weight. A numerically stable procedure is obtained and the corresponding algorithm can be implemented in a fast way yielding satisfactory numerical results. Bounds of the error and of the amplification factor are also provided
