Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to propose an efficient and convenient numerical algorithm for two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations and fractional integro-differential equations (of Hammerstein and mixed types).

Design/methodology/approach

The main idea of the presented algorithm is to combine Bernoulli polynomials approximation with Caputo fractional derivative and numerical integral transformation to reduce the studied two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations and fractional integro-differential equations to easily solved algebraic equations.

Findings

Without considering the integral operational matrix, this algorithm will adopt straightforward discrete data integral transformation, which can do good work to less computation and high precision. Besides, combining the convenient fractional differential operator of Bernoulli basis polynomials with the least-squares method, numerical solutions of the studied equations can be obtained quickly. Illustrative examples are given to show that the proposed technique has better precision than other numerical methods.

Originality/value

The proposed algorithm is efficient for the considered two-dimensional nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations and fractional integro-differential equations. As its convenience, the computation of numerical solutions is time-saving and more accurate.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper sets out to introduce a numerical method to obtain solutions of FredholmVolterra type linear integral equations.

Design/methodology/approach

The flow of the paper uses well‐known formulations, which are referenced at the end, and tries to construct a new approach for the numerical solutions of FredholmVolterra type linear equations.

In many areas of mathematics, mathematical physics and engineering, integral equations arise and most of these equations are only solvable in terms of numerical methods. It is believed that the method is applicable to many problems in these areas such as loads in elastic plates, contact problems of two surfaces, and similar.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to discuss the numerical solutions of weakly singular Volterra and Fredholm integral equations, which are used to model the problems like heat conduction in engineering and the electrostatic potential theory, using the modified Lagrange polynomial interpolation technique combined with the biconjugate gradient stabilized method (BiCGSTAB). The framework for the existence of the unique solutions of the integral equations is provided in the context of the Banach contraction principle and Bielecki norm.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors have applied the modified Lagrange polynomial method to approximate the numerical solutions of the second kind of weakly singular Volterra and Fredholm integral equations.

Findings

Approaching the interpolation of the unknown function using the aforementioned method generates an algebraic system of equations that is solved by an appropriate classical technique. Furthermore, some theorems concerning the convergence of the method and error estimation are proved. Some numerical examples are provided which attest to the application, effectiveness and reliability of the method. Compared to the Fredholm integral equations of weakly singular type, the current technique works better for the Volterra integral equations of weakly singular type. Furthermore, illustrative examples and comparisons are provided to show the approach’s validity and practicality, which demonstrates that the present method works well in contrast to the referenced method. The computations were performed by MATLAB software.

Research limitations/implications

The convergence of these methods is dependent on the smoothness of the solution, it is challenging to find the solution and approximate it computationally in various applications modelled by integral equations of non-smooth kernels. Traditional analytical techniques, such as projection methods, do not work well in these cases since the produced linear system is unconditioned and hard to address. Also, proving the convergence and estimating error might be difficult. They are frequently also expensive to implement.

Practical implications

There is a great need for fast, user-friendly numerical techniques for these types of equations. In addition, polynomials are the most frequently used mathematical tools because of their ease of expression, quick computation on modern computers and simple to define. As a result, they made substantial contributions for many years to the theories and analysis like approximation and numerical, respectively.

Social implications

This work presents a useful method for handling weakly singular integral equations without involving any process of change of variables to eliminate the singularity of the solution.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the authors claim the originality and effectiveness of their work, highlighting its successful application in addressing weakly singular Volterra and Fredholm integral equations for the first time. Importantly, the approach acknowledges and preserves the possible singularity of the solution, a novel aspect yet to be explored by researchers in the field.

Abstract

Purpose

Based on the original methods of Adomian a decomposition method has been developed to find the analytic approximation of the linear and nonlinear VolterraFredholm (V‐F) integro‐differential equations under the initial or boundary conditions.

Design/methodology/approach

Designed around the methods of Adomian and later researchers. The methodology to obtain numerical solutions of the V‐F integro‐differential equations is one whose essential features is its rapid convergence and high degree of accuracy which it approximates. This is achieved in only a few terms of its iterative scheme which is devised to avoid linearization, perturbation and any transformation in order to find solutions to given problems.

Findings

The scheme was shown to have many advantages over the traditional methods. In particular it provided discretization and provided an efficient numerical solution with high accuracy, minimal calculations as well as an avoidance of physical unrealistic assumptions.

Research limitations/implications

A reliable method for obtaining approximate solutions of linear and nonlinear V‐F integro‐differential using the decomposition method which avoids the tedious work needed by traditional techniques has been developed. Exact solutions were easily obtained.

Practical implications

The new method had most of its symbolic and numerical computations performed using the Computer Algebra Systems‐Mathematica. Numerical results from selected examples were presented.

Originality/value

A new effective and accurate methodology has been developed and demonstrated.

Abstract

Aims to solve Fredholm and Volterra non‐linear integral equations of the first kind. Uses the Adomian method, but since these equations are not under the canonical form u‐Nu = f, proposes some transformations for reducing the integral equations to integral equations of the second kind, much more appropriate. Uses a perturbation method for Fredholm equations. Concerning Volterra equations, uses a differentiation of the original equation, under sufficient regularity conditions, for obtaining a canonical form of Adomian.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to find methods for solving linear or non‐linear integral equations. The decomposition method may be applied, but a difficulty arises when it is applied to integral equations of the first kind which are not in canonical form. This paper aims to describe some techniques to obtain canonical form of Adomian decomposition method (ADM) for solving integral equations of the first kind.

Design/methodology/approach

Among various numerical methods for solving integral equations, the ADM has shown a good skill for determining the solutions as polynomial series forms. In this paper, some methods based on regularization, derivation or substitution techniques are presented to permit the application of ADM to integral equations of the first kind.

Findings

By using the three proposed methods the decomposition method can then be easily used to solve integral equations of the first kind. The three methods allow to obtain the canonical form and a solution to find using the ADM.

Research limitations/implications

The three methods provide the solution by the application of the decomposition method of George Adomian as extended by other researchers. All are efficient: the derivation and substitution techniques giving interesting results for linear and non‐linear equations of Volterra type; the regularization technique is also efficient for the equations of Fredholm type, but difficulties could arise from the calculations of the required series.

Practical implications

The research provides three efficient methods for solving integral equations of first kind.

Originality/value

The three methods illustrate the powerful use of the decomposition techniques pioneered by Adomian and a result of their applications may be applied for solving of functional equations of any kind. This paper shows some methods for applying the Adomian techniques to integral equations of the first kind.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to solve systems of linear Volterra integral equations of the first kind by the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). An elegant and reliable technique is outlined to find canonical form of ADM.

Design/methodology/approach

The approximate solution of systems of linear Volterra integral equations is calculated in the form of series with easily computable components. In this work, some methods based on substitution techniques are presented to permit the application of ADM to systems of integral equations of the first kind.

It provides immediate and visible symbolic terms of analytical solution as well as its numerical approximate solution to systems of integral equations of the first kind, without linearization or discretization. The presented technique has many advantages over the traditional methods because it takes into account some systems of integral equations of first kind where the kernels present some singularities.

Research limitations/implications

A reliable method for obtaining approximate solutions of linear systems of integral equations of the first kind using the ADM which avoids the tedious work needed by traditional techniques has been developed.

Practical implications
