A Nyström interpolant for some weakly singular linear Volterra integral equations (Q2271961)

The author considers the numerical solution of second kind Volterra integral equations with weakly singular kernel which is a non-compact operator, of the type \[ u(t)- \int^t_0 k(t,s)\Biggl({s\over t}\Biggr)^\mu {u(s)\over s} ds= f(t),\qquad t\in (0,T]> 0,\;\mu> 0, \] and \(f(t)\) a given function. A Nyström type interpolant of the solution based on Gauss-Radau nodes has been derived. The stability of interpolant is conformed by numerical tests and derived convergence estimates.
