Numerical solutions for second-kind Volterra integral equations by Galerkin methods

Shu Hua Zhang, Yan Ping Lin, Ming Rao (2000)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we study the global convergence for the numerical solutions of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the second kind by means of Galerkin finite element methods. Global superconvergence properties are discussed by iterated finite element methods and interpolated finite element methods. Local superconvergence and iterative correction schemes are also considered by iterated finite element methods. We improve the corresponding results obtained by collocation methods in the recent...

Numerical solutions to integral equations equivalent to differential equations with fractional time

Bartosz Bandrowski, Anna Karczewska, Piotr Rozmej (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper presents an approximate method of solving the fractional (in the time variable) equation which describes the processes lying between heat and wave behavior. The approximation consists in the application of a finite subspace of an infinite basis in the time variable (Galerkin method) and discretization in space variables. In the final step, a large-scale system of linear equations with a non-symmetric matrix is solved with the use of the iterative GMRES method.

Numerical treatment of a time dependent inverse problem in photon transport

S. Pieraccini, R. Riganti, A. Belleni-Morante (2005)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

The time-dependent intensity of a UV-photon source, located inside an interstellar cloud, is determined by formulating and solving an inverse problem for the integro-differential transport equation of photons in a one-dimensional slab. Starting from a discretizazion of the forward problem, an iterative procedure is used to compute the values of the source intensity at increasing values of the time.

On a contact problem for a viscoelastic von Kármán plate and its semidiscretization

Igor Bock, Ján Lovíšek (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

We deal with the system describing moderately large deflections of thin viscoelastic plates with an inner obstacle. In the case of a long memory the system consists of an integro-differential 4th order variational inequality for the deflection and an equation with a biharmonic left-hand side and an integro-differential right-hand side for the Airy stress function. The existence of a solution in a special case of the Dirichlet-Prony series is verified by transforming the problem into a sequence of...

On a reliable solution of a Volterra integral equation in a Hilbert space

Igor Bock, Ján Lovíšek (2003)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider a class of Volterra-type integral equations in a Hilbert space. The operators of the equation considered appear as time-dependent functions with values in the space of linear continuous operators mapping the Hilbert space into its dual. We are looking for maximal values of cost functionals with respect to the admissible set of operators. The existence of a solution in the continuous and the discretized form is verified. The convergence analysis is performed. The results are applied to...

On convergence of quadrature-differences method for linear singular integro-differential equations on the interval

A. I. Fedotov (2001)

Archivum Mathematicum

Here we propose and justify the quadrature-differences method for the full linear singular integro-differential equations with Cauchy kernel on the interval ( - 1 , 1 ) . We consider equations of zero, positive and negative indices. It is shown, that the method converges to exact solution and the error estimate depends on the sharpness of derivative approximation and the smoothness of the coefficients and the right-hand side of the equation.
