Quadrature methods with regularization technique for singularly perturbed volterra integral equations (Q3838263)

The authors consider direct quadrature (DQ) methods for singularly perturbed linear Volterra integral equations of the form \[ \varepsilon y(t)= g(t)+ \int^t_0 k(t- s) y(s)ds, \] where the given data are assumed to be smooth and \(k(0)\neq 0\). The behavior of the analytical solution is discussed for a special model problem, while the numerical solution of the problem is based on the \(\theta\)-method. There are numerical examples illustrating the stability of this method, as well as the application of certain regularization techniques. There are, however, no results for more general DQ methods or proofs. In order to obtain a more general, up-to-date picture of the theory and numerical analysis of such problems the reader may consult the survey paper by \textit{J.-P. Kauthen} [Appl. Numer. Math. 24, No. 2-3, 95-114 (1997; Zbl 0883.45003)]; this paper also contains an extensive bibliography.
