Error analysis of a residual-based Galerkin's method for a system of Cauchy singular integral equations with vanishing endpoint conditions

In this paper, we develop Galerkin's residual-based numerical scheme for solving a system of Cauchy-type singular integral equations of index minus N using Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind, where N is the total number of Cauchytype singular integral equations in the system. Without theoretical analysis, a numerical scheme is not justified. Therefore, first, we prove the well-posedness of the system of Cauchy-type singular integral equations with the help of the compactness of an operator. Further, we derive a theoretical error bound and the order of convergence. Also, we show that the resulting system of equations obtained by applying the algorithm is well-posed together with an explicit representation of the solution in matrix form. Finally, we give some illustrative examples to validate the theoretical error bounds numerically. (c) 2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
