Numerical computation of the tau approximation for the Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations (Q1047169)

The authors are concerned with the numerical solution of Hammerstein type Volterra equations using an extension of the tau method for nonlinear integral equations. Spectral methods can be viewed as a special case of the tau method which is applied here in an operational form based on arbitrary polynomial basis functions. The authors provide a theoretical basis for their work, an algorithmic description of the method and some numerical examples illustrating their results.
