Numerical Solutions of a Class of Nonlinear Volterra Integral Equations

Abstract EN

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 functions over a closed interval.

We then use one-point collocation methods with a uniform mesh to construct solutions of the nonlinear (nonstandard) VIE and quadrature rules.

We conclude that the repeated Simpson's rule gives better solutions when a reasonably large value of the stepsize is used.
