A new numerical method for solving two-dimensional Volterra-Fredholm integral equations (Q330403)

The authors present a new numerical method for solving two-dimensional Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. A review of block pulse functions (BPFs) and triangular functions (TFs) is briefly given. One-dimensional delta functions (1D-DFs), 2-dimensional delta functions (2D-DFs) descriptions and properties are given. How to use 2D-DFs to reduce the Volterra-Fredholm integral equations to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations is explained. Convergence analysis is given and numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the algorithms discussed.
