This paper presents a novel method of approximating the scalar Wiener-Hopf equation; and therefore constructing an approximate solution. The advantages of this method over the existing methods are reliability and explicit error bounds. Additionally the degrees of the polynomials in the rational approximation are considerably smaller than in other approaches. The need for a numerical solution is motivated by difficulties in computation of the exact solution. The approximation developed in this paper is with a view of generalisation to matrix Wiener-Hopf for which the exact solution, in general, is not known. The first part of the paper develops error bounds in Lp for 1Comment: AMS-LaTeX, 19 pages, 10 figures in EPS file |
