Kreĭn's method and Volterra-Fredholm integral equation (Q2907745)

The solution of integral equations can be obtained analytically using one of the following methods: the Cauchy method, the potential theory method, orthogonal polynomials methods, integral transformation methods and Krein's method. The authors use a numerical method to transform the Volterra-Fredholm integral equation (V-FIE) into a system of linear Fredholm integral equations (SFIEs) of the first kind and obtain the solution of SFIEs. In fact, the authors summarize the content of this paper as follows: The existence of a unique solution of the Volterra-Fredholm integral equation of the first kind is considered in the space \(L_2[-1,1]\times C(0,T)\). The Fredholm integral term is considered in position with discontinuous kernel, while the Volterra integral term is considered in time with continuous kernel. Using a numerical method, we have a system of SFIEs of the first kind. Using Krein's method, the solution of SFIEs is obtained in the form of spectral relationships. Finally, many special cases and applications in fluid mechanics and contact problems are discussed.
