Fractional powers of linear multistep methods are suggested for the numerical solution of weakly singular Volterra integral equations. The proposed methods are convergent of the order of the underlying multistep method, also in the generic case of solutions which are not smooth at the origin. The stability properties (stability region, A-stability, A(a)-stability) are closely related to those o...

In this paper the hybrid block-pulse function and Bernstein polynomials are introduced to approximate the solution of linear Volterra integral equations. Both second and first kind integral equations, with regular, as well as weakly singular kernels, have been considered. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. The obtained results show that the hyb...

This work is concerned with the numerical solution of a nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equation. We investigate the application of product integration methods and a detailed analysis of the Trapezoidal method is given. In order to improve the numerical results we consider extrapolation procedures and collocation methods based on graded meshes. Several examples are presented illustr...

Since the solution of a second-kind Volterra integral equation with weakly singular kernel has, in general, unbounded derivatives at the left endpoint of the interval of integration, its numerical solution by polynomial spline collocation on uniform meshes will lead to poor convergence rates. In this paper we investigate the convergence rates with respect to graded meshes, and we discuss the pr...

We study regularity of solutions of weakly singular Volterra integral equations of the first kind. We then study the numerical analysis of discontinuous piecewise polynomial collocation methods for solving such systems. The main purpose of this paper is the derivation of global convergent and super-convergent properties of introduced methods on the graded meshes. We apply relevant methods to a ...

We present an hp-error analysis of the discontinuous Galerkin time-stepping method for Volterra integro-differential equations with weakly singular kernels. We derive new error bounds that are explicit in the time-steps, the degrees of the approximating polynomials, and the regularity properties of the exact solution. It is then shown that start-up singularities can be resolved at exponential r...

We discuss a possibility to construct high order methods on uniform or mildly graded grids for the numerical solution of linear Volterra integro-differential equations with weakly singular or other nonsmooth kernels. Using an integral equation reformulation of the initial value problem, we apply to it a smoothing transformation so that the exact solution of the resulting equation does not conta...

Abstract Terminal value problems of fractional linear systems with non-homegenous terms are investigated in this paper for the first time. They equivalent to a second kind weakly singular Volterra–Fredholm integral system. Picard’s method is used obtain closed form solution. The exact solution checked satisfy terminal problem. Numerical solutions provided comparison truncated ones.

In this paper we reduce a free boundary problem from heat transfer to a weakly Singular Volterra  integral equation of the first kind. Since the first kind integral equation is ill posed, and an appropriate method for such ill posed problems is based on wavelets, then we apply the Chebyshev wavelets to solve the integral equation. Numerical implementation of the method is illustrated by two ben...
