Tóm tắt

A numerical method for the solution of the Abel integral equation is presented. The known function is approximated by a sum of Chebyshev polynomials. The solution can then be expressed as a sum of generalized hypergeometric functions, which can easily be evaluated, using a simple recurrence relation.
