Approximate solution of Volterra-Fredholm integral equations using generalized barycentric rational interpolant

It is well-known that interpolation by rational functions results in a more accurate approximation than the polynomials interpolation.However,classical rational interpolation has some deficiencies such as uncontrollable poles and low convergence order.In contrast with the classical rational interpolants,the generalized barycentric rational interpolants which depend linearly on the interpolated values,yield infinite smooth approximation with no poles in real numbers.In this paper,a numerical collocation approach,based on the generalized barycentric rational interpolation and Gaussian quadrature formula,was introduced to approximate the solution of Volterra-Fredholm integral equations.Three types of points in the solution domain are used as interpolation nodes.The obtained numerical results confirm that the barycentric rational interpolants are efficient tools for solving Volterra-Fredholm integral equations.Moreover,integral equations with Runge’s function as an exact solution,no oscillation occurrs in the obtained approximate solutions so that the Runge’s phenomenon is avoided.

Existence of Solutions of a Convolution Integral Equation

In this study, we prove the of existence of solutions of a convolution Volterra integral equation in the space of the Lebesgue integrable function on the set of positive real numbers and with the standard norm defined on it. An operator P was assigned to the convolution integral operator which was later expressed in terms of the superposition operator and the nonlinear operator. Given a ball Br belonging to the space L it was established that the operator P maps the ball into itself. The Hausdorff measure of noncompactness was then applied by first proving that given a set M∈ B r the set is bounded, closed, convex and nondecreasing. Finally, the Darbo fixed point theorem was applied on the measure obtained from the set E belonging to M. From this application, it was observed that the conditions for the Darbo fixed point theorem was satisfied. This indicated the presence of at least a fixed point for the integral equation which thereby implying the existence of solutions for the integral equation.

Volterra integral equation is transformed into a one-dimensional generalized moment problem, and shall apply the moment problem techniques to find a numerical approximation of the solution. Specifically you will see that solving the Volterra integral equation of first kind f（t） = {a^t K（t, s）x（s）ds a ≤ t ≤ b or solve the Volterra integral equation of the second kind x（t） =f（t）＋{a^t K（t,s）x（s）ds a ≤ t ≤ b is equivalent to solving a generalized moment problem of the form un = {a^b gn（s）x（s）ds n = 0,1,2… This shall apply for to find the solution of an integrodifferential equation of the form x＇（t） = f（t） ＋ {a^t K（t,s）x（s）ds for a ≤ t ≤ b and x（a） = a0 Also considering the nonlinear integral equation： f（x）= {fa^x y（x-t）y（t）dt This integral equation is transformed a two-dimensional generalized moment problem. In all cases, we will find an approximated solution and bounds for the error of the estimated solution using the techniques ofgeneralized moment problem.

SINGULAR CONTROL OF STOCHASTIC VOLTERRA INTEGRAL EQUATIONS

This paper deals with optimal combined singular and regular controls for stochastic Volterra integral equations,where the solution X^(u,ξ)(t)=X(t)is given X(t)=φ(t)+∫_(0)^(t) b(t,s,X(s),u(s))ds+∫_(0)^(t)σ(t,s,X(s),u(s))dB(s)+∫_(0)^(t)h(t,s)dξ(s).by Here d B(s)denotes the Brownian motion It?type differential,ξdenotes the singular control(singular in time t with respect to Lebesgue measure)and u denotes the regular control(absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure).Such systems may for example be used to model harvesting of populations with memory,where X(t)represents the population density at time t,and the singular control processξrepresents the harvesting effort rate.The total income from the harvesting is represented by J(u, ξ) = E[∫_(0)^(t) f_(0)(t,X(t), u(t))dt + ∫_(0)^(t)f_(1)(t,X(t))dξ(t) + g(X(T))] for the given functions f0,f1 and g,where T>0 is a constant denoting the terminal time of the harvesting.Note that it is important to allow the controls to be singular,because in some cases the optimal controls are of this type.Using Hida-Malliavin calculus,we prove sufficient conditions and necessary conditions of optimality of controls.As a consequence,we obtain a new type of backward stochastic Volterra integral equations with singular drift.Finally,to illustrate our results,we apply them to discuss optimal harvesting problems with possibly density dependent prices.

Iterative convergence of boundary-volume integral equation method

The boundary-volume integral equation numerical technique can be a powerful tool for piecewise heterogeneous media, but it is limited to small problems or low frequencies because of great computational cost. Therefore, a restarted GMRES method is applied to solve large-scale boundary-volume scattering problems in this paper to overcome the computational barrier. The iterative method is firstly applied to responses of dimensionless frequency to a semicircular alluvial valley filled with sediments, compared with the standard Gaussian elimination method. Then the method is tested by a heterogeneous multilayered model to show its applicability. Numerical experiments indicate that the preconditioned GMRES method can significantly improve computational efficiency especially for large Earth models and high frequencies, but with a faster convergence for the left diagonal preconditioning.

PERTURBATION FINITE VOLUME METHOD FOR CONVECTIVE-DIFFUSION INTEGRAL EQUATION

A perturbation finite volume(PFV)method for the convective-diffusion integral equa- tion is developed in this paper.The PFV scheme is an upwind and mixed scheme using any higher-order interpolation and second-order integration approximations,with the least nodes similar to the standard three-point schemes,that is,the number of the nodes needed is equal to unity plus the face-number of the control volume.For instance,in the two-dimensional(2-D)case,only four nodes for the triangle grids and five nodes for the Cartesian grids are utilized,respectively.The PFV scheme is applied on a number of 1-D linear and nonlinear problems,2-D and 3-D flow model equations.Comparing with other standard three-point schemes,the PFV scheme has much smaller numerical diffusion than the first-order upwind scheme(UDS).Its numerical accuracies are also higher than the second-order central scheme(CDS),the power-law scheme(PLS)and QUICK scheme.

A STUDY ON THE WEIGHT FUNCTION OF THE MOVING LEAST SQUARE APPROXIMATION IN THE LOCAL BOUNDARY INTEGRAL EQUATION METHOD

The meshless method is a new numerical technique presented in recent years.It uses the moving least square(MLS)approximation as a shape function.The smoothness of the MLS approximation is determined by that of the basic function and of the weight function,and is mainly determined by that of the weight function.Therefore,the weight function greatly affects the accuracy of results obtained.Different kinds of weight functions,such as the spline function, the Gauss function and so on,are proposed recently by many researchers.In the present work,the features of various weight functions are illustrated through solving elasto-static problems using the local boundary integral equation method.The effect of various weight functions on the accuracy, convergence and stability of results obtained is also discussed.Examples show that the weight function proposed by Zhou Weiyuan and Gauss and the quartic spline weight function are better than the others if parameters c and α in Gauss and exponential weight functions are in the range of reasonable values,respectively,and the higher the smoothness of the weight function,the better the features of the solutions.

By using an interpolation function to approximate the unknown function, two new recursive formulae were derived, based on which numerical solution can be obtained step by step. The present method can provide accurate numerical results efficiently. It is also very stable for long time calculating.
