A new Taylor collocation method for nonlinear Fredholm‐Volterra integro‐differential equations

The aim of this article is to present an efficient numerical procedure for solving nonlinear integro‐differential equations. Our method depends mainly on a Taylor expansion approach. This method transforms the integro‐differential equation and the given conditions into the matrix equation which corresponds to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations with unkown Taylor coefficients. The reliability and efficiency of the proposed scheme are demonstrated by some numerical experiments and performed on the computer program written in Maple10. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Numerical approximations for population growth model by rational Chebyshev and Hermite functions collocation approach: A comparison

This paper aims to compare rational Chebyshev (RC) and Hermite functions (HF) collocation approach to solve Volterra's model for population growth of a species within a closed system. This model is a nonlinear integro‐differential equation where the integral term represents the effect of toxin. This approach is based on orthogonal functions, which will be defined. The collocation method reduces the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. We also compare these methods with some other numerical results and show that the present approach is applicable for solving nonlinear integro‐differential equations.

Regularity theory for fully nonlinear integro‐differential equations

We consider nonlinear integro‐differential equations like the ones that arise from stochastic control problems with purely jump Lévy processes. We obtain a nonlocal version of the ABP estimate, Harnack inequality, and interior C^{1, α} regularity for general fully nonlinear integro‐differential equations. Our estimates remain uniform as the degree of the equation approaches 2, so they can be seen as a natural extension of the regularity theory for elliptic partial differential equations. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Efficient hybrid method for solving special type of nonlinear partial differential equations

In this article, an efficient hybrid method has been developed for solving some special type of nonlinear partial differential equations. Hybrid method is based on tanh–coth method, quasilinearization technique and Haar wavelet method. Nonlinear partial differential equations have been converted into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation by choosing some suitable variable transformations. Quasilinearization technique is used to linearize the nonlinear ordinary differential equation and then the Haar wavelet method is applied to linearized ordinary differential equation. A tanh–coth method has been used to obtain the exact solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. It is easier to handle nonlinear ordinary differential equations in comparison to nonlinear partial differential equations. A distinct feature of the proposed method is their simple applicability in a variety of two‐ and three‐dimensional nonlinear partial differential equations. Numerical examples show better accuracy of the proposed method as compared with the methods described in past. Error analysis and stability of the proposed method have been discussed.     

Computational methods of solving the boundary value problems for the loaded differential and Fredholm integro‐differential equations

The article presents a new general solution to a loaded differential equation and describes its properties. Solving a linear boundary value problem for loaded differential equation is reduced to the solving a system of linear algebraic equations with respect to the arbitrary vectors of general solution introduced. The system's coefficients and right sides are computed by solving the Cauchy problems for ordinary differential equations. Algorithms of constructing a new general solution and solving a linear boundary value problem for loaded differential equation are offered. Linear boundary value problem for the Fredholm integro‐differential equation is approximated by the linear boundary value problem for loaded differential equation. A mutual relationship between the qualitative properties of original and approximate problems is obtained, and the estimates for differences between their solutions are given. The paper proposes numerical and approximate methods of solving a linear boundary value problem for the Fredholm integro‐differential equation and examines their convergence, stability, and accuracy.

On integro‐differential inclusions with operator‐valued kernels

We study integro‐differential inclusions in Hilbert spaces with operator‐valued kernels and give sufficient conditions for the well‐posedness. We show that several types of integro‐differential equations and inclusions are covered by the class of evolutionary inclusions, and we therefore give criteria for the well‐posedness within this framework. As an example, we apply our results to the equations of visco‐elasticity and to a class of nonlinear integro‐differential inclusions describing phase transition phenomena in materials with memory.

Analytical approximations for a population growth model with fractional order

In this paper, we apply the homotopy analysis method (HAM) to solve the fractional Volterra’s model for population growth of a species in a closed system. This technique is extended to give solutions for nonlinear fractional integro–differential equations. The whole HAM solution procedure for nonlinear fractional differential equations is established. Further, the accurate analytical approximations are obtained for the first time, which are valid and convergent for all time t. This indicates the validity and great potential of the homotopy analysis method for solving nonlinear fractional integro–differential equations.     

Nonautonomous first integrals and general solutions of the KdV‐Burgers and mKdV‐Burgers equations with the source

The method for constructing first integrals and general solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is presented. The method is based on index accounting of the Fuchs indices, which appeared during the Painlevé test of a nonlinear differential equation. The Fuchs indices indicate us the leading members of the first integrals for the origin differential equation. Taking into account the values of the Fuchs indices, we can construct the auxiliary equation, which allows to look for the first integrals of nonlinear differential equations. The method is used to obtain the first integrals and general solutions of the KdV‐Burgers and the mKdV‐Burgers equations with a source. The nonautonomous first integrals in the polynomials form are found. The general solutions of these nonlinear differential equations under at some additional conditions on the parameters of differential equations are also obtained. Illustrations of some solutions of the KdV‐Burgers and the mKdV‐Burgers are given.     

Numerical solution of nonlinear partial quadratic integro‐differential equations of fractional order via hybrid of block‐pulse and parabolic functions

In this paper, an effective numerical approach based on a new two‐dimensional hybrid of parabolic and block‐pulse functions (2D‐PBPFs) is presented for solving nonlinear partial quadratic integro‐differential equations of fractional order. Our approach is based on 2D‐PBPFs operational matrix method together with the fractional integral operator, described in the Riemann–Liouville sense. The main characteristic behind this approach is to reduce such problems to those of solving systems of algebraic equations, which greatly simplifies the problem. By using Newton's iterative method, this system is solved, and the solution of fractional nonlinear partial quadratic integro‐differential equations is achieved. Convergence analysis and an error estimate associated with the proposed method is obtained, and it is proved that the numerical convergence order of the suggested numerical method is O(h³) . The validity and applicability of the method are demonstrated by solving three numerical examples. Numerical examples are presented in the form of tables and graphs to make comparisons with the exact solutions much easier.

Schwarz problem for higher‐order complex partial differential equations in the upper half plane

Linear and nonlinear elliptic complex partial differential equations of higher‐order are considered under Schwarz conditions in the upper‐half plane. Firstly, using the integral representations for the solutions of the inhomogeneous polyanalytic equation with Schwarz conditions, a class of integral operators is introduced together with some of their properties. Then, these operators are used to transform the problem for linear equations into singular integral equations. In the case of nonlinear equations such a transformation yields a system of integro‐differential equations. Existence of the solutions of the relevant boundary value problems for linear and nonlinear equations are discussed via Fredholm theory and fixed point theorems, respectively.     

Two‐dimensional shifted Legendre polynomial collocation method for electromagnetic waves in dielectric media via almost operational matrices

In this paper, a numerical solution of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) for electromagnetic waves in dielectric media will be discussed. For the solution of FPDEs, we developed a numerical collocation method using an algorithm based on two‐dimensional shifted Legendre polynomials approximation, which is proposed for electromagnetic waves in dielectric media. By implementing the partial Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative operators, two‐dimensional shifted Legendre polynomials approximation and its operational matrix along with collocation method are used to convert FPDEs first into weakly singular fractional partial integro‐differential equations and then converted weakly singular fractional partial integro‐differential equations into system of algebraic equation. Some results concerning the convergence analysis and error analysis are obtained. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique.

A stable local radial basis function method for option pricing problem under the Bates model

We propose a local mesh‐free method for the Bates–Scott option pricing model, a 2D partial integro‐differential equation (PIDE) arising in computational finance. A Wendland radial basis function (RBF) approach is used for the discretization of the spatial variables along with a linear interpolation technique for the integral operator. The resulting set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is tackled via a time integration method. A potential advantage of using RBFs is the small number of discrete equations that need to be solved. Computational experiments are presented to illustrate the performance of the contributed approach.
