The basic linear, Volterra integral equation of the first kind with a weakly singular kernel is solved via a Galerkin approximation. It is shown that the approximate solution is a sum with the first term being the solution of Abel's equation and the remaining terms computable as components of the solution of an initialvalue problem. The method represents a significant decrease in the normal num...

China Abstract In this paper, we consider a general form of nonlinear integral inequalities with the unknown function composed with a given function on the left hand side, more than one distinct nonlinear integrals on its right-hand side, and weakly singular kernels,...

We introduce a new numerical approach for solving Volterra integral equations of the second kind when the kernel contains a mild singularity. We give a convergence result. We also present numerical examples which show the performance and efficiency of our method.

will be employed in the analysis of the principle properties of the collocation approximations; the extension to nonlinear equations is straightforward (cf. [1, p. 225]). High-order numerical methods for VIDEs with weakly singular kernels may be found in [1,2,6,7,8]. In this note we shall consider collocation methods for VIDE (1.1), based on Brunner's approach [1]. The following method and nota...

Let a singular value of a bidiagonal matrix be known. Then the corresponding singular vector can be computed through the twisted factorization of a tridiagonal matrix by the discrete Lotka-Volterra with variable step-size (dLVv) transformation. Errors of the singular value then sensitively affect the conditional number of the tridiagonal matrix. In this paper, we first examine a relationship be...

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 ...

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(...

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the study of singular and perturbed systems. In this paper we propose a collocation method for solving singularly perturbed Volterra integro-differential and Volterra integral equations. The method is based upon radial basis functions, using zeros of the shifted Legendre polynomial as the collocation points. The results of numerical experiments...
