Extrapolation of Nyström solution for two dimensional nonlinear Fredholm integral equations (Q5946738)

It is shown that the Nyström solution for two-dimensional nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind of the form \[ u(x,y)= f(x,y)+ \int^b_a \int^d_c K(x,y,t,s,u(t, s)) dt ds,\quad (x,y)\in D= [a,b]\times [c,d], \] admits an asymptotic error expansion in powers of the stepsize \(h\) and \(k\). For a special choice of the numerical quadrature, the leading terms in the error expansion contain only even powers of \(h\) and \(k\), beginning with terms \(h^{2p}\) and \(K^{2q}\). A numerical example is given to illustrate the results obtained.
