On convergence of the polynomial collocation method for singular integral equations and periodic pseudodifferential equations.
In this paper, the linear problem of reactor kinetics with delayed neutrons is studied whose formulation is based on the integral transport equation. Besides the proof of existence and uniqueness of the solution, a special random process and random variables for numerical elaboration of the problem by Monte Carlo method are presented. It is proved that these variables give an unbiased estimate of the solution and that their expectations and variances are finite.
We prove the convergence of polynomial collocation method for periodic singular integral, pseudodifferential and the systems of pseudodifferential equations in Sobolev spaces via the equivalence between the collocation and modified Galerkin methods. The boundness of the Lagrange interpolation operator in this spaces when allows to obtain the optimal error estimate for the approximate solution i.e. it has the same rate as the best approximation of the exact solution by the polynomials.
