Abstract: A new highly accurate numerical approximation scheme based on a Gauss type Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature for Fredholm integral equations of the second kind

\begin{displaymath}x(t)+\int^{b}_{a}k(t,s)x(s)ds=y(t),\end{displaymath}

whose kernel $k(t,s)$ is either discontinuous or not smooth along the main diagonal, is presented. This scheme is of spectral accuracy when $k(t,s)$ is infinitely differentiable away from the diagonal $ t = s$. Relation to the singular value decomposition is indicated. Application to integro-differential Schrödinger equations with nonlocal potentials is given.
