Generalized extrapolation methods for solving nonlinear Fredholm integral equations

In this paper we develop a class of generalized extrapolation methods for numerical solution of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The direct representation of this class allows us to simply discretize the nonlinear integral equations with smooth kernels. This approach enjoys several outstanding features of numerical methods such as: economized computational cost, the high order accuracy, direct implementation, discrretization on arbitrary nodes and applying the methods with positive weights. The comparison results demonstrate the superior results of the new class of methods versus the classical and recent approaches

Solving nonlinear integral equations of Fredholm type with high order iterative methods

The application of high order iterative methods for solving nonlinear integral equations is not usual in mathematics. But, in this paper, we show that high order iterative methods can be used to solve a special case of nonlinear integral equations of Fredholm type and second kind. In particular, those that have the property of the second derivative of the corresponding operator have associated with them a vector of diagonal matrices once a process of discretization has been done. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
