Summary
In the present thesis the bounds of fast solving Fredholm integral equations of the second kind with a possible weak diagonal singularity of the kernel and certain boundary singularities of the derivatives of the free term has been discussed in a situation when the information about the smooth coefficient functions in the kernel and about the free term is restricted to a given number of their sample values. In a fast solver, the conditions of optimal accuracy and minimal arithmetical operations (complexity of the solver) are met. We mean the order optimality and order minimal work on a class of problems; the class of problems is defined by the smoothness conditions which have been set on the kernel and free term of the underlying problem.
