In this paper, the well known iterated Galerkin method and iterated Galerkin-Kantorovich regularization method for approximating the solution of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind are generalized to Hammerstein equations with smooth and weakly singular kernels. The order of convergence of the Galerkin method and those of superconvergence of the iterated methods are analyzed. Numeric...

This paper proposes numerical methods for solving hybrid weakly singular integro-differential equations of the second kind. The terms in these equations are in the following order: derivative term of a state, integro-differential term of a state with a weakly singular kernel, a state, integral term of a state with a smooth kernel, and force. The original class of weakly singular integro-differe...

A weakly singular form of the hypersingular boundary integral equation (BIE) (traction equation) for 3-D elastic wave problems is developed in this paper. All integrals involved are at most weakly singular and except for a stronger smoothness requirement on boundary elements, regular quadrature and collocation procedures used for conventional BIEs are sufficient for the discretization of the or...

‎A natural algorithm with an optimal order of convergence is proposed for numerical solution of a class of cordial weakly singular Volterra integral equations‎. ‎The equations of this class appear in heat conduction problems with mixed boundary conditions‎. ‎The algorithm is based on a representation of the solution and compound Gaussian quadrature rules with graded meshes‎. ‎A comparative stud...

In this work, the convection-diffusion integro-differential equation with a weakly singular kernel is discussed. The  Legendre spectral tau method is introduced for finding the unknown function. The proposed method is based on expanding the approximate solution as the elements of a shifted Legendre polynomials. We reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations by using operational matrices....

The general Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) type weak-forms of the displacement & traction boundary integral equations are presented, for solids undergoing small deformations. Using the directly derived non-hyper singular integral equations for displacement gradients, simple and straight-forward derivations of weakly singular traction BIE's for solids undergoing small deformations are als...

Some integral identities for the fttndamental solutions of potential and elastostatic problems are established in this paper. With these identities it is shown that the conventional boundary integral equation (BIE), which is generally expressed in terms of singularintegrals in the sense of the Cauchy principal value (CPV), and the derivative BIE, which is similarly expressed in terms of hypersi...
