Abstract: This paper presents a Galerkin approach for solving a regularized version of the Cauchy singular, linear integro-differential equation \[ \frac {{d\Theta }}{{dx}}\left ( x \right ) - f\left ( x \right ) = \lambda \smallint _{y = 0}^1\frac {{\Theta \left ( y \right )}}{{x - y}}dy, \qquad x \in \left ( 0, 1 \right )\], subject to $\Theta \left ( 0 \right ) = \Theta \left ( 1 \right ) = 0$. This equation has appeared in both combined infrared gaseous radiation and molecular conduction, and elastic contact studies. A regularized formulation is produced which suggests the use of an expansion technique where the orthogonal basis functions are chosen as the Chebychev polynomials of the first kind. Accurate results, requiring a minimal computational cost, are formally documented and compared to a purely numerical solution.
