Solving the Volterra Integral Equations with Weakly Singular Kernel by Taylor Expansion Methods

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a Taylor expansion method for solving (approximately) linear Volterra integral equations with weakly singular kernel. By means of the nth-order Taylor expansion of the unknown function at an arbitrary point, the Volterra integral equation can be converted approximately to a system of equations for the unknown function itself and its n derivatives. This method gives a simple and closed form solution for the integral equation. In addition, some illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
