Numerical solution of a system of Volterra equations of the first kind (Q1571135): Difference between revisions

The author considers the system \[ \int_0^1K(t.\tau)x(\tau) d\tau=f(t),\quad t\in{[0,1]}, \] where \(K(t,\tau)\) is an \((n\times{n})\)-matrix and \(\mathbf{f}(t)\) and \(\mathbf{x}(t)\) are the known and the unknown \(n\)-dimensional vector functions, respectively. The problems of the uniqueness of a continuous solution of these integral equations in the case of det\(K(t,t)\equiv{0}\) is studied. A numerical method is proposed for solving these systems, which is based on the mid-rectangle quadrature formula.
