The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, we develop the Petrov-Galerkin method and the iterated Petrov-Galerkin method for a class of nonlinear Hammerstein equations. Alpert [1] established a class of wavelet basis and applied it to approximate solutions of the Fredholm second kind integral equations by the Galerkin method. He then demonstrated an advantage of a wavelet basis application t...

We investigate the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for a system of nonlinear Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations with coupled integral boundary conditions which contain some positive constants.

We give some results concerning the existence of tripled fixed points for a class of condensing operators in Banach spaces. Further, as an application, we study the existence of solutions for a general system of nonlinear integral equations.

A numerical method for finding the solution of nonlinear VolterraHammerstein integral equations is proposed. The properties of the hybrid functions which consists of block-pulse functions plus rationalized Haar functions are presented. The hybrid functions together with the operational matrices of integration and product are then utilized to reduce the solution of nonlinear Volterra-Hammerstein...

A new numerical method for solving the nonlinear mixed Volterra-Fredholm integral equations is presented. This method is based upon hybrid functions approximation.

These matrices are then utilized to reduce the nonlinear m...

The present study introduces and investigates a new type of equation which is called Grassmann integral equation in analogy to integral equations studied in real analysis. A Grassmann integral equation is an equation which involves Grassmann (Berezin) integrations and which is to be obeyed by an unknown function over a (finite-dimensional) Grassmann algebra Gm (i.e., a sought after element of t...

A numerical method for solving nonlinear mixed Hammerstein integral equations is presented in this paper. The method is based upon hybrid of rationalized Haar functions approximations. The properties of hybrid functions which are the combinations of block-pulse functions and rationalized Haar functions are first presented. The Newton-Cotes nodes and Newton-Cotes integration method are then util...

Biomass estimation is critical for looking at ecosystem processes and as a measure of stand yield. The density-integral approach allows for coincident estimation of stem profile and biomass. The algebraic difference approach (ADA) permits the derivation of dynamic or nonstatic functions. In this study we applied the ADA to develop a self-referencing specific gravity function and biomass functio...
