The traditional numerical process to tackle a linear Fredholm integral equation on a large interval is divided into two parts, the first is discretization, and the second is the use of the iterative scheme to approach the solutions of the huge algebraic system. In this paper we propose a new method based on constructing a generalization of the iterative scheme, which is adapted to the system of linear bounded operators. Then we don’t discretize the whole system, but only the diagonal part of the system. This system is built by transforming our integral equation. As discretization we consider the product integration method and the Gauss–Seidel iterative method as iterative scheme. We also prove the convergence of this new method. The numerical tests developed show its effectiveness.

To tackle a linear Fredholm integral equation on great interval, two numerical processes are involved: discretization and iterative scheme. The conventional numerical process is discretize first then use an iterative scheme as Jacobi’s method to approach the solutions of the huge algebraic system. In this paper, we propose an alternative numerical process, we apply an iterative scheme based on construction of a generalization of the iterative scheme for Jacobi method which is adapted to the system of linear bounded operators, then we use Nyström method to discretize only the diagonal part of the system. The convergence analysis of this new method is proved and numerical tests developed show its effectiveness.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to study, in the class of Hölder functions, a nonhomogeneous linear integral equation with coefficient cos 𝑥. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of this equation are given under some assumptions on its kernel. The solution is constructed analytically, using the Fredholm theory and the theory of singular integral equations.


The purpose of this communication is to announce certain results relative to the expansion of a symmetrisable function k ( s , t ) in terms of a complete biorthogonal system of fundamental functions, which belong to k ( s , t ) regarded as the kernel of a linear integral equation. An indication of the method by which the results have been obtained is given, but no attempt is made to supply detailed proofs. Preliminary Explanations . 1. Let k ( s , t ) be a function defined in the square a ≤ s ≤ b , a ≤ t ≤ b . If a function ϒ ( s , t ) can be found which is of positive type in the square a ≤ s ≤ b , a ≤ t ≤ b and such that ∫ a b ϒ ( s , x ) k ( x , t ) dx is a symmetric function of s and t , k ( s , t ) is said to be symmetrisable on the left by ϒ ( s , t ) is the square. Similarly, if a function ϒ' ( s, t ) of positive type can be found such that ∫ a b k ( s , x ) ϒ' ( x , t ) dx is a symmetric function of s and t , k ( s , t ) is said to be symmetrisable on the right by ϒ' ( s , t ).

AbstractThe problem of diffraction of a plane wave by a semi-infinite grating of iso-tropic scatterers leads to the consideration of a non-linear integral equation. This bears a resemblance to Chandrasekhar's integral equation which arises in the study of radiative transfer through a semi-infinite atmosphere. It is shown that methods which have been used with success to solve Chandrasekhar's equation are equally useful here. The solution to the non-linear equation satisfies a more simple functional equation which may be solved by factoring (in the Wiener-Hopf sense) a given function. Subject to certain additional conditions which are dictated by physical considerations, a solution is obtained which is the unique admissible solution of the non-linear integral equation. The factors and solution are found explicitly for the case which corresponds to closely spaced scatterers.
