The Sinc quadrature and the Sinc indefinite integration are approximation formulas for definite integration and indefinite integration, respectively, which can be applied on any interval by using an appropriate variable transformation. Their convergence rates have been analyzed for typical cases including finite, semi-infinite, and infinite intervals. In addition, for verified automatic integration, more explicit error bounds that are computable have been recently given on a finite interval. In this paper, such explicit error bounds are given in the remaining cases on semi-infinite and infinite intervals.
A Sinc-collocation scheme for Fredholm integral equations of the second kind was proposed by Rashidinia-Zarebnia in 2005. In this paper, two improved versions of the Sinc-collocation scheme are presented. The first version is obtained by improving the scheme so that it becomes more practical, and natural from a theoretical view point. Then it is rigorously proved that the convergence rate of the modified scheme is exponential, as suggested in the literature. In the second version, the variable transformation employed in the original scheme, the "tanh transformation", is replaced with the "double exponential transformation". It is proved that the replacement improves the convergence rate drastically. Numerical examples which support the theoretical results are also given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
