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.
