An integro-differential equation involving a convolution integral with a weakly singular kernel is considered. The kernel can be that of a fractional integral. The integro-differential equation is discretized using the discontinuous Galerkin method with piecewise constant basis functions. Sparse quadrature is introduced for the convolution term to overcome the problem with the growing amount of...

The two-dimensional interface crack problem is investigated for ani-sotropic bodies in the Comninou formulation. It is established that, as in the isotropic case, properly incorporating contact zones at the crack tips avoids contradictions connected with the oscillating asymptotic behaviour of physical and mechanical characteristics leading to the overlapping of material. Applying the special i...

Boundary integral equation methods for diffraction gratings are particularly suitable for gratings with complicated material interfaces but are difficult to implement due to the quasi-periodic Green's function and the singular integrals at the corners. In this paper, the boundary integral equation Neumann-to-Dirichlet map method for in-plane diffraction problems of gratings [Y. Wu and Y. Y. Lu,...

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.

we establish a sharp maximal function estimate for some vector-valued multilinear singular integral operators. as an application, we obtain the $(l^p, l^q)$-norm inequality for vector-valued multilinear operators.

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...

in this paper, an iterative scheme for extracting approximate solutions of two dimensional volterra-fredholm integral equations is proposed. considering some conditions on the kernel of the integral equation obtained by discretization of the integral equation, the convergence of the approximate solution to the exact solution is investigated. several examples are provided to demonstrate the effc...

Abstract In this paper, we will present a new method for a Volterra integral equation with weakly singular kernel in the reproducing kernel space. Firstly the equation is transformed into a new equivalent equation. Its exact solution is represented in the form of series in the reproducing kernel space. In the mean time, the n-term approximation un(t) to the exact solution u(t) is obtained. Some...
