In this paper we study the quadratic regulator problem for a process governed by a Volterra integral equation in IR. Our main goal is the proof that it is possible to associate a Riccati differential equation to this quadratic control problem, which leads to the feedback form of the optimal control. This is in contrast with previous papers on the subject, which confine themselves to study the F...

In this paper we consider a nonlinear two-phase Stefan problem in one-dimensional space. The problem is mapped into a nonlinear Volterra integral equation for the free boundary.

In this work, we give a product Nyström method for solving a Fredholm functional integral equation (FIE) of the second kind. With this method solving FIE reduce to solving an algebraic system of equations. Then we use some theorems to prove the existence and uniqueness of the system. Finally we investigate the convergence of the method.

In this article, we give some results concerning the continuity of the nonlinear Volterra and Fredholm integral operators on the space L1[0,∞). Then by using the concept of measure of weak noncompactness, we prove an existence result for a functional integral equation which includes several classes of nonlinear integral equations. Our results extend some previous works.

in this paper, we propose a new method for the numerical solution of two-dimensional linear and nonlinear volterra integral equations of the first and second kinds, which avoids from using starting values. an existence and uniqueness theorem is proved and convergence isverified by using an appropriate variety of the gronwall inequality. application of the method is demonstrated for solving the ...

We present a method to regularize first and second kind integral equations of Fredholm type with singular kernel. By appropriate application of the Poincaré-Bertrand formula we change such integral equations into a second kind Fredholm’s integral equation with at most weakly singular kernel. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 45Exx, 45E05, 45B05.

Stochastic differential equation (SDE) and Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) are two general approaches to describe the stochastic drift-diffusion processes. Solving SDEs relies on the Monte Carlo samplings of individual system trajectory, whereas FPEs describe the time evolution of overall distributions via path integral alike methods. The large state space and required small step size are the majo...
