摘要
We solve the integral equation that describes an oscillating inhomogeneous string by using a spectral expansion method in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. The result is compared with the solution of the corresponding differential equation, obtained by an expansion into a set of sine-wave functions. The accuracy of the two methods is determined by comparison with an iterative method, which allows a precision of one part in 10(11). This iterative method is based on a method introduced by Hartree and is implemented by using the spectral expansion procedures.
