in this paper, we propose a new method for the numerical solution of two-dimensional linear and nonlinear volterra integral equations of the first and second kinds, which avoids from using starting values. an existence and uniqueness theorem is proved and convergence isverified by using an appropriate variety of the gronwall inequality. application of the method is demonstrated for solving the ...

The first passage time problem for Brownian motions hitting a barrier has been extensively studied in the literature. In particular, many incarnations of integral equations which link the density of the hitting time to the equation for the barrier itself have appeared. Most interestingly, Peskir (2002b) demonstrates that a master integral equation can be used to generate a countable number of n...

In the present paper, we investigate existence of positive periodic solutions for an n-species Lotka-Volterra system with distributed delays and nonlinear impulses. process, convert given into equivalent integral equation. Then, construct appropriate mappings use Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem in a cone Banach space to show solution system. Easily verifiable sufficient conditions are estab...

In this paper, a Jacobi-collocation spectral method is developed for Volterra integral equations of second kind with a weakly singular kernel. We use some function transformation and variable transformations to change the equation into a new Volterra integral equation defined on the standard interval [−1, 1], so that the solution of the new equation possesses better regularity and the Jacobi or...

In this paper, we continue our study that began in recent papers [2] and [3] concerning a simple yet effective Taylor series expansion method to approximate a solution of integral equations. The method is applied to Volterra integral equation of the second kind as well as to systems of Volterra equations. The results obtained in this paper improve significantly the results reported in recent pa...

We consider numerical solutions of a class of nonlinear (nonstandard) Volterra integral equations. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the Volterra integral equation in the context of the space of continuous funtions over a closed interval. We then use one point collocation methods and quadrature methods with a uniform mesh to construct solutions of the nonlinear VIE....

In this paper, we introduce the Petrov-Galerkin method for solution of stochastic Volterra integral equations. Here, we use continues Lagrange-type k-0 elements, since these elements have simple structure and via them, the solution of stochastic Volterra integral equation is reduced to algebraic equations. Also the error analysis of this method is done. In Comparison with other methods, this me...

In this work we are concerned with the numerical solution of a nonlinear weakly singular Volterra integral equation with a nonsmooth solution. We investigate the application of product integration methods and a detailed analysis of the Trapezoidal method is given. In order to improve the numerical results we consider extrapolation procedures and collocation methods based on graded meshes. Sever...
