Numerical solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind by using integral mean value theorem II. High dimensional problems

In this work, we generalize the numerical method discussed in [Z. Avazzadeh, M. Heydari, G.B. Loghmani, Numerical solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind by using integral mean value theorem, Appl. math. modelling, 35 (2011) 2374–2383] for solving linear and nonlinear Fredholm integral and integro-differential equations of the second kind. The presented method can be used for solving integral equations in high dimensions. In this work, we describe the integral mean value method (IMVM) as the technical algorithm for solving high dimensional integral equations. The main idea in this method is applying the integral mean value theorem. However the mean value theorem is valid for multiple integrals, we apply one dimensional integral mean value theorem directly to fulfill required linearly independent equations. We solve some examples to investigate the applicability and simplicity of the method. The numerical results confirm that the method is efficient and simple.     

An algorithm based on the regularization and integral mean value methods for the Fredholm integral equations of the first kind

In this paper, an algorithm based on the regularization and integral mean value methods, to handle the ill-posed multi-dimensional Fredholm equations, is introduced. The application of this algorithm is based on the transforming the first kind equation to a second kind equation by the regularization method. Then, by converting the first kind to a second kind, the integral mean value method is employed to handle the resulting Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The efficiency of the approach will be shown by applying the procedure on some examples.

The results confirm that the method is very effective and simple.     

Legendre Galerkin method for weakly singular Fredholm integral equations and the corresponding eigenvalue problem

In this paper, we consider Galerkin method for weakly singular Fredholm integral equations of the second kind and its corresponding eigenvalue problem using Legendre polynomial basis functions of degree ≤n. We obtain the convergence rates for the approximated solution and iterated solution in weakly singular Fredholm integral equations of the second kind and also obtain the error bounds for the approximated eigenelements in the corresponding eigenvalue problem. We illustrate our results with numerical examples.     

On the solution of a class of integral equations

In this paper we consider a class of Fredholm integral equations of the first kind which arise in a large number of problems in applied mathematics. Although only certain special cases of the equations can be solved exactly, it is shown that a constructive method can be developed for reformulating the equations as Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. This approach will be seen to cover and bring together the large number of isolated cases of the equations which have appeared in the literature. Several examples are given to illustrate the general method.     

Cascadic multilevel methods for ill-posed problems

Multilevel methods are popular for the solution of well-posed problems, such as certain boundary value problems for partial differential equations and Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. However, little is known about the behavior of multilevel methods when applied to the solution of linear ill-posed problems, such as Fredholm integral equations of the first kind, with a right-hand side that is contaminated by error. This paper shows that cascadic multilevel methods with a conjugate gradient-type method as basic iterative scheme are regularization methods. The iterations are terminated by a stopping rule based on the discrepancy principle.

In this paper we use parametric form of fuzzy number and convert a linear fuzzy Fredholm integral equation to two linear system of integral equation of the second kind in crisp case. We can use one of the numerical method such as Nystrom and find the approximation solution of the system and hence obtain an approximation for fuzzy solution of the linear fuzzy Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The proposed method is illustrated by solving some numerical examples.

On the numerical solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations by the collocation method

The collocation method for the numerical solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind is applied, properly modified, to the numerical solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations of the first or the second kind but with constant coefficients. This direct method of numerical solution of Cauchy type singular integral equations is compared afterwards with the corresponding method resulting from applying the collocation method to the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind equivalent to the Cauchy type singular integral equation, as well as with another method, based also on the regularization procedure, for the numerical solution of the same class of equations. Finally, the convergence of the method is discussed.     

On Taylor-series expansion methods for the second kind integral equations

In this paper, we comment on the recent papers by Yuhe Ren et al. (1999) [1] and Maleknejad et al. (2006) [7] concerning the use of the Taylor series to approximate a solution of the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind as well as a solution of a system of Fredholm equations. The technique presented in Yuhe Ren et al. (1999) [1] takes advantage of a rapidly decaying convolution kernel k(|s−t|) as |s−t| increases. However, it does not apply to equations having other types of kernels. We present in this paper a more general Taylor expansion method which can be applied to approximate a solution of the Fredholm equation having a smooth kernel. Also, it is shown that when the new method is applied to the Fredholm equation with a rapidly decaying kernel, it provides more accurate results than the method in Yuhe Ren et al. (1999) [1]. We also discuss an application of the new Taylor-series method to a system of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind.

Finally, the advantages of the proposed method have been shown through simulation examples and comparison with Lagrange method.     

An extrapolation method for a class of boundary integral equations

Boundary value problems of the third kind are converted into boundary integral equations of the second kind with periodic logarithmic kernels by using Green's formulas. For solving the induced boundary integral equations, a Nyström scheme and its extrapolation method are derived for periodic Fredholm integral equations of the second kind with logarithmic singularity. Asymptotic expansions for the approximate solutions obtained by the Nyström scheme are developed to analyze the extrapolation method. Some computational aspects of the methods are considered, and two numerical examples are given to illustrate the acceleration of convergence.

     

Solution of linear integral equations by Gregory's method

Solution of boundary-value problems for a degenerating elliptic equation of the second kind by the method of potentials

In this paper we study basic boundary value problems for one multidimensional degenerating elliptic equation of the second kind. Using the method of potentials we prove the unique solvability of the mentioned problems. We construct a fundamental solution and obtain an integral representation for the solution to the equation. Using this representation we study properties of solutions, in particular, the principle of maximum. We state the basic boundary value problems and prove their unique solvability. We introduce potentials of single and double layers and study their properties. With the help of these potentials we reduce the boundary value problems to the Fredholm integral equations of the second kind and prove their unique solvability.

Asymptotic error expansion for the Nyström method for nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind

In this paper the asymptotic error expansion for the Nyström method for one-dimensional nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind is considered. We show that the Nyström solution admits an error expansion in powers of the step-sizeh. Thus Richardson's extrapolation can be performed on the solution, and this will greatly increase the accuracy of the numerical solution.The project has been supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Solving nonlinear integral equations of Fredholm type with high order iterative methods

The application of high order iterative methods for solving nonlinear integral equations is not usual in mathematics. But, in this paper, we show that high order iterative methods can be used to solve a special case of nonlinear integral equations of Fredholm type and second kind. In particular, those that have the property of the second derivative of the corresponding operator have associated with them a vector of diagonal matrices once a process of discretization has been done.
