Numerical solution of nonlinear Fredholm integrodifferential equations of fractional order by using hybrid functions and the collocation method (Q443030)

Summary: A numerical method to solve nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of second kind is presented in this work. The method is based upon hybrid function approximate. The properties of hybrid of block-pulse functions and Taylor series are presented and are utilized to reduce the computation of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations to a system of algebraic equations. Some numerical examples are selected to illustrate the effectiveness and simplicity of the method.
