Hybrid Legendre polynomials and Block-Pulse functions approach for nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integro-differential equations

摘要

This paper introduces an approach for obtaining the numerical solution of the nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integro-differential (NVFID) equations using hybrid Legendre polynomials and Block-Pulse functions. These hybrid functions and their operational matrices are used for representing matrix form of these equations. The main characteristic of this approach is that it reduces NVFID equations to a system of algebraic equations, which greatly simplifying the problem. Numerical examples illustrate the validity and applicability of the proposed method.
