We establish in this paper the equivalence between a Volterra integral equation of the second kind and a singular ordinary differential equation of the third order with two initial conditions and an integral boundary condition, with a real parameter. This equivalence allows us to obtain the solution to some problems for non-classical heat equation, the continuous dependence of the solution with...

Numerical evaluations of Caputo fractional derivatives for scattered noisy data is an important problem in scientific research and practical applications. Fractional derivatives have been applied recently to the numerical solution of problems in fluid and continuum mechanics. The Caputo fractional derivative of order α is given as follows f (t) = 1 Γ(1− α) ∫ t 0 f (s) (t− s)α ds, 0 < α < 1 The ...

A spectral collocation method is proposed to solve Volterra or Fredholm integral equations with weakly singular kernels and corresponding integro-differential equations by virtue of some identities. For a class of functions that satisfy certain regularity conditions on a bounded domain, we obtain geometric or supergeometric convergence rate for both types of equations. Numerical results confirm...

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...

Several methods for solving efficiently the one-dimensional deconvolution problem are proposed. The problem is to solve the Volterra equation ku := ∫ t 0 k(t − s)u(s)ds = g(t), 0 ≤ t ≤ T . The data, g(t), are noisy. Of special practical interest is the case when the data are noisy and known at a discrete set of times. A general approach to the deconvolution problem is proposed: represent k = A(...

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...
