The study of spatially explicit integro-difference systems when the local population dynamics are given in terms of discrete-time generations models has gained considerable attention over the past two decades. These nonlinear systems arise naturally in the study of the spatial dispersal of organisms. The brunt of the mathematical research on these systems, particularly, when dealing with cooper...

In this work first we consider a physiologically structured population model with a distributed recruitment process. That is, our model allows newly recruited individuals to enter the population at all possible individual states, in principle. The model can be naturally formulated as a first order partial integro-differential equation, and it has been studied extensively. In particular, it is w...

Assume that a compound Poisson surplus process is invested in a stochastic interest process which is assumed to be a Lévy process. We derive recursive and integral equations for ruin probabilities with such an investment. Lower and upper bounds for the ultimate ruin probability are obtained from these equations. When the interest process is a Brownian motion with drift, we give a unified treatm...

The Tau method, produces approximate polynomial solution of differential, integral and integro-differential equations (see [E.l,Ortiz, The Tau method, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 6 (3) (1969) 480–492; E.l.

Abstract: In this paper, a numerical method to solve nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of second kind is proposed and some numerical notes about this method are addressed. The method utilizes Chebyshev wavelets constructed on the unit interval as a basis in the Galerkin method. This approach reduces this type of integral equation to solve a nonlinear system of algebraic equation. The method...

In this paper, an effective direct method to determine the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear Fredholm and Volterra integral and integro-differential equations is proposed. The method is based on expanding the required approximate solution as the elements of Chebyshev cardinal functions. The operational matrices for the integration and product of the Chebyshev cardinal functions are des...

The boundary integral method is extended to derive a closed integro-differential equation applicable to computation of the shape and propagation speed of a steadily moving spot and to the analysis of dynamic instabilities in the sharp boundary limit. Expansion of the boundary integral near the locus of traveling instability in a standard reaction-diffusion model proves that the bifurcation is s...

We study the numerical approximation of viscosity solutions for Parabolic Integro-Differential Equations (PIDE). Similar models arise in option pricing, to generalize the Black–Scholes equation, when the processes which generate the underlying stock returns may contain both a continuous part and jumps. Due to the non-local nature of the integral term, unconditionally stable implicit difference ...
