On a nonlinear Volterra integral equation in a Banach space

The equation u(t) + ∝₀^tk(t ? s)g(s) ds?f(t), t ? 0, is studied in a real Banach space with uniformly convex dual. Conditions, sufficient for the existence of a unique solution, are given for the operatorvalued kernel k, the nonlinear m-accretive operators g(t) and the function f. The case when k is realvalued, g(t) ≡ g and X a reflexive Banach space is also considered. These results extend earlier results by Barbu, Londen and MacCamy.     

Nondecreasing solutions of a quadratic singular Volterra integral equation

We study the existence of nondecreasing solutions of a quadratic singular Volterra integral equation in the space of continuous functions on bounded interval. The main tool utilized in our considerations is the technique associated with certain measure of noncompactness related to monotonicity. The results obtained in the paper may be applied to a wide class of singular Volterra integral equations.

A hybrid collocation method for a nonlinear Volterra integral equation with weakly singular kernel

This work is concerned with the numerical solution of a nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equation. Owing to the singular behavior of the solution near the origin, the global convergence order of product integration and collocation methods is not optimal. In order to recover the optimal orders a hybrid collocation method is used which combines a non-polynomial approximation on the first subinterval followed by piecewise polynomial collocation on a graded mesh. Some numerical examples are presented which illustrate the theoretical results and the performance of the method. A comparison is made with the standard graded collocation method.     

A weak stochastic integral in Banach space with application to a linear stochastic differential equation

Cylindrical Wiener processes in real separable Banach spaces are defined, and an approximation theorem involving scalar Wiener processes is given for such processes. A weak stochastic integral for Banach spaces involving a cylindrical Wiener process as integrator and an operator-valued stochastic process as integrand is defined. Basic properties of this integral are stated and proved.A class of linear, time-invariant, stochastic differential equations in real, separable, reflexive Banach spaces is formulated in such fashion that a solution of the equation is a cylindrical process. An existence and uniqueness theorem is proved. A stochastic version of the problem of heat conduction in a ring provides an example.Research supported by National Science Foundation under Grant No. ECS-8005960.

A spectral collocation method for a weakly singular Volterra integral equation of the second kind

The solution y of a weakly singular Volterra equation of the second kind posed on the interval ?1 ≤ t ≤ 1 has in general a certain singular behaviour near t = ?1: typically, \(|y^{\prime }(t)| \sim (1+t)^{-\mu }\) for a parameter μ ∈ (0, 1). Various methods have been proposed for the numerical solution of these problems, but up to now there has been no analysis that takes into account this singularity when a spectral collocation method is applied directly to the problem. This gap in the literature is filled by the present paper.     

The exact solution of a class of Volterra integral equation with weakly singular kernel

In this paper, the weakly singular Volterra integral equations with an infinite set of solutions are investigated. Among the set of solutions only one particular solution is smooth and all others are singular at the origin. The numerical solutions of this class of equations have been a difficult topic to analyze and have received much previous investigation. The aim of this paper is to present a numerical technique for giving the approximate solution to the only smooth solution based on reproducing kernel theory. Applying weighted integral, we provide a new definition for reproducing kernel space and obtain reproducing kernel function. Using the good properties of reproducing kernel function, the only smooth solution is exactly expressed in the form of series. The n-term approximate solution is obtained by truncating the series. Meanwhile, we prove that the derivative of approximation converges to the derivative of exact solution uniformly. The final numerical examples compared with other methods show that the method is efficient.

Spectral methods for weakly singular Volterra integral equations with smooth solutions

We propose and analyze a spectral Jacobi-collocation approximation for the linear Volterra integral equations (VIEs) of the second kind with weakly singular kernels. In this work, we consider the case when the underlying solutions of the VIEs are sufficiently smooth. In this case, we provide a rigorous error analysis for the proposed method, which shows that the numerical errors decay exponentially in the infinity norm and weighted Sobolev space norms. Numerical results are presented to confirm the theoretical prediction of the exponential rate of convergence.     

The existence of asymptotically stable solutions for a nonlinear functional integral equation with values in a general Banach space

Motivated by the recent known results about the solvability and existence of asymptotically stable solutions for nonlinear functional integral equations in spaces of functions defined on unbounded intervals with values in the n-dimensional real space, we establish asymptotically stable solutions for a nonlinear functional integral equation in the space of all continuous functions on R₊ with values in a general Banach space, via a fixed point theorem of Krasnosel’skii type. In order to illustrate the result obtained here, an example is given.
