Numerical Solution of Volterra Functional Integral Equation by Using Cubic B-Spline Scaling Functions

摘要

In this article, we consider a class of nonlinear functional integral equations which has rather general form and contains a lot of particular cases such as functional equations and nonlinear integral equations of Volterra type.We use a combination of a fixed point method and cubic semiorthogonal B-spline scaling functions to solve the integral equation numerically. We provide an error analysis for the method which shows that the approximate solution converges to the exact solution. Some numerical results for several test problems are given to confirm the accuracy and the ease of implementation of the method.
