Abstract
Abel’s integral equation, linear or nonlinear, occurs in many branches of scientific fields [1], such as microscopy, seismology, radio astronomy, electron emission, atomic scattering, radar ranging, plasma diagnostics, X-ray radiography, and optical fiber evaluation. Linear Abel’s integral equation is the earliest example of an integral equation. In Chapter 2, Abel’s integral equation was defined as a singular integral equation. Volterra integral equations of the first kind
or of the second kind
are called singular [2–8] if:
-
1.
one of the limits of integration g(x), h(x) or both are infinite, or
-
2.
if the kernel K(x, t) becomes infinite at one or more points at the range of integration.
