Fredholm Integral Equation of the 2nd Kind with a Singular Difference Kernel
After reviewing the literature, I could not find an analytic solution to the equation
$$\int^{1}_{0}dx\frac{f(x)}{|x-y|^{2/3}}=cf(y)$$
for $f(y)$, where $c$ is a constant and $y\in[0,1]$.
I'm ...

Why Gauss-Legendre Quadrature should keep the number of integral points less than about 50?
I wanted to use Gauss-Legendre Quadrature to calculate an integral as follows：
When n=10 and some other number(except odd numbers),the numerical result is the same as theoretical result.

Why Gauss-Legendre rule gives wrong result for piecewise polynomial function?
I implemented the Gauss-Legendre rule as follows:
$$\int_0^1f(x)dx=\frac 1 2 \int_{-1}^1f(\frac{1+x}{2})dx=\sum_{i=0}^{4}A_if(\frac{1+x_i}{2})$$

How can I invoke the solution of NDSolve to determine a parameter in my equation just inside NDSlove?
I am trying to solve a differential equation by NDSlove for $h(x,t)$. It reads
$$h_t=h_{xx}-V_h-\lambda(t)$$
where $V_h$ is a given function of $h(x,t)$ denoted by <...
