On the multiwavelets Galerkin solution of the Volterra-Fredholm integral equations by an efficient algorithm (Q2225545)

Summary: We develop the multiwavelet Galerkin method to solve the Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. To this end, we represent the Volterra and Fredholm operators in multiwavelet bases. Then, we reduce the problem to a linear or nonlinear system of algebraic equations. The interesting results arise in the linear type where thresholding is employed to decrease the nonzero entries of the coefficient matrix, and thus, this leads to reduction in computational efforts. The convergence analysis is investigated, and numerical experiments guarantee it. To show the applicability of the method, we compare it with other methods and it can be shown that our results are better than others.
