We describe an algorithm for the numerical solution of an integral equation of the form − 1/π ∫1−1 [(y − x) ln |y − x| − h(x, y)] u(y) dy/√1−y2 = f(x), −1 < x < 1, which is based on a collocation-quadrature method and which has the same convergence rate as this method, but only O(n log n) complexity. This integral equation turns out to be an ill-posed problem in (the best possible choice of) a pair of non-periodic Sobolev-like spaces. The present paper presents the technique, how to overcome this peculiarity in the investigation of the fast algorithm.
