In this paper, collocation methods are used for detecting blow-up solutions of nonlinear homogeneous Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations. To do this, we introduce the concept of “blow-up collocation solution” and analyze numerically some blow-up time estimates using collocation methods in particular examples where previous results about existence and uniqueness can be applied. Finally, we d...

Abstract. By means of classical fixed point index, we prove new results on the existence, non-existence, localization and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for systems of Hammerstein integral equations where the nonlinearities are allowed to depend on the first derivative. As a byproduct of our theory we discuss the existence of positive solutions of a system of third order ODEs subject to n...

Alternative Legendre polynomials (ALPs) are used to approximate the solution of a class of nonlinear Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations. For this purpose, the operational matrices of integration and the product for ALPs are derived. Then, using the collocation method, the considered problem is reduced into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. The error analysis of the method is given an...

This paper examines the use of a so-called “generalised Hammerstein–Wiener” model structure that is formed as the concatenation of an arbitrary number of Hammerstein systems. The latter are taken here to be memoryless nonlinearities followed by linear time invariant dynamics. Hammerstein, Wiener, Hammerstein–Wiener and Wiener–Hammerstein models are all special cases of this structure. The param...

In this paper, a nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equation of the first kind is solved by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). In this case, the first kind integral equation can be reduced to the second kind integral equation which can be solved by HAM. The approximate solution of this equation is calculated in the form of a series which its components are computed easily. The accuracy...

We considered a procedure for solving an ill-posed Hammerstein type operator equation KF (x) = y, by solving the linear equation Kz = y first for z and then solving the nonlinear equation F (x) = z. Convergence analysis is carried out by means of suitably constructed majorizing sequences. The derived error estimate using an adaptive method proposed by Perverzev and Schock (2005) in relation to ...

in this article, a transversely isotropic linear elastic half-space with depth wise isotropy axis of material containing a cylindrical cavity of finite length is considered to be under the effect of an arbitrary torsion force applied on the wall of the cavity. to this end, the equation of equilibrium has been written in a cylindrical coordinate system, by dividing the involved domain to two reg...

In this paper, we prove the existence of a weak solution for Dirichlet boundary value problem related to certain p(x)-Laplacian, by using degree theory after turning into Hammerstein equation. The right hand side is possibly discontinuous function in second variable satisfying some non-standard growth conditions.
