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

Based on the original methods of Adomian a decomposition method has been developed to find the analytic approximation of the linear and nonlinear Volterra‐Fredholm (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

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

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new modified version of the homotopy perturbation method (NMHPM) and Adomian decomposition method (ADM) for solving the nonlinear ordinary differential equation arising in MHD non-Newtonian fluid flow over a linear stretching sheet.

Design/methodology/approach

The governing equation is solved analytically by applying a newly developed optimal homotopy perturbation approach and ADM. This optimal approach contains convergence-control parameter and is computationally rather efficient. The results of numerical example are presented and only a few terms are required to obtain accurate solutions.

Findings

A new modified optimal and ADM methods accelerate the rapid convergence of the series solution. These methods dramatically reduce the size of work. The obtained series solution is combined with the diagonal Padé approximants to handle the boundary condition at infinity. Results derived from these methods are shown graphically and in tabulated forms to study the efficiency and accuracy.

Practical implications

Non-Newtonian flow processes play a key role in many types of polymer engineering operations. The formulation of mathematical model for these processes can be based on the equations of non-Newtonian fluid mechanics. The flow of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a magnetic field is of importance in various areas of technology and engineering such as MHD power generation, MHD flow meters, MHD pumps, etc. It is generally admitted that a number of astronomical bodies (e.g. the sun, Earth, Jupiter, Magnetic stars, Pulsars) posses fluid interiors and (or least surface) magnetic fields.

Originality/value

The present results are original and new for the MHD non-Newtonian fluid flow over a linear stretching sheet. The results attained in this paper confirm the idea that NMHPM and ADM are powerful mathematical tools and that can be applied to a large class of linear and nonlinear problems arising in different fields of science and engineering.
