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

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.

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 Fredholm‐Volterra 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

In this paper, Fredholm integral equations of the first kind, the Schlomilch integral equation, and a class of related integral equations of the first kind with constant limits of integration are transformed in such a manner that the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) can be applied. Some examples with closed‐form solutions are studied in detail to further illustrate the proposed technique, and the results obtained indicate this approach is indeed practical and efficient. The purpose of this paper is to develop a new iterative procedure where the integral equations of the first kind are recast into a canonical form suitable for the ADM. Hence it examines how this new procedure provides the exact solution.

Design/methodology/approach

The new technique, as presented in this paper in extending the applicability of the ADM, has been shown to be very efficient for solving Fredholm integral equations of the first kind, the Schlomilch integral equation and a related class of nonlinear integral equations with constant limits of integration.

Findings

By using the new proposed technique, the ADM can be easily used to solve the integral equations of the first kind, the Schlomilch integral equation, and a class of related integral equations of the first kind with constant limits of integration.

Originality/value

The paper shows that this new technique is easy to implement and produces accurate results.

Abstract

Purpose

In this paper, the exact solutions of the Schlömilch’s integral equation and its linear and non-linear generalized formulas with application are solved by using two efficient iterative methods. The Schlömilch’s integral equations have many applications in atmospheric, terrestrial physics and ionospheric problems. They describe the density profile of electrons from the ionospheric for awry occurrence of the quasi-transverse approximations. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach

First, the authors apply a regularization method combined with the standard homotopy analysis method to find the exact solutions for all forms of the Schlömilch’s integral equation. Second, the authors implement the regularization method with the variational iteration method for the same purpose. The effectiveness of the regularization-Homotopy method and the regularization-variational method is shown by using them for several illustrative examples, which have been solved by other authors using the so-called regularization-Adomian method.

Findings

The implementation of the two methods demonstrates the usefulness in finding exact solutions.

Practical implications

The authors have applied the developed methodology to the solution of the Rayleigh equation, which is an important equation in fluid dynamics and has a variety of applications in different fields of science and engineering. These include the analysis of batch distillation in chemistry, scattering of electromagnetic waves in physics, isotopic data in contaminant hydrogeology and others.

Originality/value

In this paper, two reliable methods have been implemented to solve several examples, where those examples represent the main types of the Schlömilch’s integral models. Each method has been accompanied with the use of the regularization method. This process constructs an efficient dealing to get the exact solutions of the linear and non-linear Schlömilch’s integral equation which is easy to implement. In addition to that, the accompanied regularization method with each of the two used methods proved its efficiency in handling many problems especially ill-posed problems, such as the Fredholm integral equation of the first kind.
