     Thus, an estimate for 0 < v < 1, can be derived from theorem 6.6.1, by noting that v is an ultraspherical weight function, whose exponent is negative.

     We develop a spectral method for solving univariate singular integral equations over unions of intervals by utilizing Chebyshev and ultraspherical polynomials to reformulate the equations as almost-banded infinite-dimensional systems.
