Three iterative refinement schemes are studied for approximating the solutions of linear weakly singular Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The rates of convergence and computational costs of the three schemes are studied and compared with the classical approach by applying them respectively to: (i) a sparse linear system associated with an integral equation modelling a real life A...

The contact problem of elastic bodies, each consisting of a finite layer of uniform thickness rigidly adhering to a half-plane, is investigated on the basis of the two-dimensional theory of elasticity. The materials of the layer and the half-plane in the contact body are isotropic and homogeneous, yet each of them may have distinct elastic properties. The mixed boundary value problem is reduced...

In this work we consider the rendering equation derived from the illumination model called Cook-Torrance model. A Monte Carlo (MC) estimator for numerical treatment of the this equation, which is the Fredholm integral equation of second kind, is constructed and studied.

Recently, Wazwaz has studied the regularization method to one-dimensional linear Fredholm integral equations of first kind [Wazwaz, 2011]. In this work, we develop for and nonlinear two-dimensional Fred-holm kind. Indeed, is used directly. But are transformed linearintegral by a change variable; then, The Regularization-Homotopy Method applied. combination homotopy perturbation method, or short...

The paper presents a method for constructing the characteristic equation of SISO linear periodic dynamical systems with distributed delay. The construction bases on a description in frequency domain, and a relation between the characteristic function of the periodic system and the Fredholm denominator of an associated Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Using the Fredholm calculus, p...
