Abstract

In the two-dimensional boundary element method, one often needs to evaluate numerically integrals of the form @!"-"1^1g(x)j(x)f((x-a)^2+b^2)dx where j^2 is a quadratic, g is a polynomial and f is a rational, logarithmic or algebraic function with a singularity at zero. The constants a and b are such that -1=
