AbstractWe construct collocation methods with an arbitrary degree of accuracy for integral equations with logarithmically or algebraically singular kernels. Superconvergence at collocation points is obtained. A grid is used, the degree of non-uniformity of which is in good conformity with the smoothness of the solution and the desired accuracy of the method.

We propose a piecewise polynomial collocation method for solving linear Volterra integral equations of the second kind with kernels which, in addition to a weak diagonal singularity, may have a weak boundary singularity. Global convergence estimates are derived and a collection of numerical results is given.

The piecewise polynomial collocation method is discussed to solve second kind Fredholm integral equations with weakly singular kernels K (t, s) which may be discontinuous at s = d, d = const. The main result is given in Theorem 4.1. Using special collocation points, error estimates at the collocation points are derived showing a more rapid convergence than the global uniform convergence in the interval of integration available by piecewise polynomials.

Piecewise polynomial collocation methods on special nonuniform grids are efficient methods for solving weakly singular Fredholm and Volterra integral equations but there is a widespread belief that those methods are numerically unstable in the case of large values of the nonuniformity parameter r. We show that this method by itself is stable and discuss some implementation problems that may lead to unstable behavior of numerical results.

Abstract In this paper, we consider general cases of linear Volterra integral equations under minimal assumptions on their weakly singular kernels and introduce a new product integration method in which we involve the linear interpolation to get a better approximate solution, figure out its effect and also we provide a convergence proof. Furthermore, we apply our method to a numerical example and conclude this paper by adding a conclusion

In this paper, we propose a Taylor expansion method for solving (approximately) linear Volterra integral equations with weakly singular kernel. By means of the nth-order Taylor expansion of the unknown function at an arbitrary point, the Volterra integral equation can be converted approximately to a system of equations for the unknown function itself and its n derivatives. This method gives a simple and closed form solution for the integral equation. In addition, some illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
