A collocation method based on optimal nodal splines is presented for the numerical solution of linear Volterra integral equations of the second kind with weakly singular kernel. Since the considered spline operator is a bounded projector we can prove that, for sequences of locally uniform meshes, the approximate solution error converges to zero at exactly the same optimal rate as the spline app...

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the superconvergence of “interpolated” collocation solutions for weakly singular Volterra integral equations second kind. Based on solution $$u_h$$ u h , two different interpolation postprocessing approximations higher accuracy: $$I_{2...

In this paper, the analytical solution of an electric and Volterra edge dislocation in a functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) medium is obtained by means of complex Fourier transform. The system is subjected to in-plane mechanical and electrical loading. The material properties of the medium vary exponentially with coordinating parallel to the crack. In this study, the rate of the gradual ch...

in this article the nonlinear mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations are investigated by means of the modied three-dimensional block-pulse functions (m3d-bfs). this method converts the nonlinear mixed volterra-fredholm integral equations into a nonlinear system of algebraic equations. the illustrative   examples are provided to demonstrate the applicability and simplicity of our   scheme.
