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...

In this paper, a Jacobi-collocation spectral method is developed for Volterra integral equations of second kind with a weakly singular kernel. We use some function transformation and variable transformations to change the equation into a new Volterra integral equation defined on the standard interval [−1, 1], so that the solution of the new equation possesses better regularity and the Jacobi or...

‎This paper presents two main results that the singular values of the Hadamard product of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the Hadamard product of $|A_{i}|$ and the singular values of the sum of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the sum of $|A_{i}|$‎. ‎Some applications to these inequalities are also given‎. ‎In addi...

‎A natural algorithm with an optimal order of convergence is proposed for numerical solution of a class of cordial weakly singular Volterra integral equations‎. ‎The equations of this class appear in heat conduction problems with mixed boundary conditions‎. ‎The algorithm is based on a representation of the solution and compound Gaussian quadrature rules with graded meshes‎. ‎A comparative stud...

The subject of this paper is the formulation of boundary integral equations for firstand second-order shape sensitivities of boundary elastic fields in three-dimensional bodies. Here the direct differentiation approach is considered. It relies on the repeated application of the material derivative concept to the governing regularized (i.e. weakly singular) displacement boundary integral equatio...
