The piecewise polynomial collocation method for nonlinear weakly singular Volterra equations

From MaRDI portal





The paper deals with the numerical analysis of weakly singular Volterra integral equations of the form \[ u(t) = \int^t_0 K(t,s,u(s))ds + f(t) , 0 \leq t \leq T \tag{1} \] by polynomial splines on graded meshes. Using appropriate extensions \(\tilde{K}\) and \(\tilde{f}\) for \(K\) and \(f\) and corresponding results of \textit{G. Vainikko} [Multidimensional weakly singular integral equations, Lect. Notes Math. 1549 (1993; Zbl 0789.65097)] on the second-kind Fredholm integral equation \[ u(t) = \int^{2T}_0 \tilde{K} (t,s,u(s))ds + \tilde{f} (t) , 0 \leq t \leq 2T , \] the authors study the smoothness of solutions and the piecewise polynomial collocation method for equation (1). They derive global convergence estimates and analyze superconvergence at the collocation points, extending considerably known results for equation (1) with algebraic or logarithmic singularities in the kernel.
