Numerical Methods for a Class of Hybrid Weakly Singular Integro-Differential Equations

This paper proposes numerical methods for solving hybrid weakly singular integro-differential equations of the second kind. The terms in these equations are in the following order: derivative term of a state, integro-differential term of a state with a weakly singular kernel, a state, integral term of a state with a smooth kernel, and force. The original class of weakly singular integro-differential equations of the first kind is derived from aeroelasticity mathematical models. Among the proposed methods, the method for solving linear cases is fully based on previously reported approximation scheme for equations of the first kind. For nonlinear cases, a revised method is proposed. Examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods, and the results indicate that the proposed methods facilitate achieving satisfactory and accurate approximations.

On the Well-Posedness of a Class of Hybrid Weakly Singular Integro-Differential Equations

In this study, a revised version of some numerical methods for a class of hybrid integro-differential equations with weakly singular kernels (Abel types) is presented. These equations were developed from a class of integro-differential equations of first kind originating from an aeroelasticity problem. By manipulating the bounds of initial conditions with random variations, this study numerically demonstrated the well-posedness properties of the equations. Finally, an assumption of separating variables, allowed for linear splines to be chosen as a basis and for the differentiation and integration of the integro-differential part to be interchanged;hence, a numerical scheme was constructed.

A Differential Quadrature Based Approach for Volterra Partial Integro-Differential Equation with a Weakly Singular Kernel

Differential quadrature method is employed by numerous researchers due to its numerical accuracy and computational efficiency,and is mentioned as potential alternative of conventional numerical methods.In this paper,a differential quadrature based numerical scheme is developed for solving volterra partial integro-differential equation of second order having a weakly singular kernel.The scheme uses cubic trigonometric B-spline functions to determine the weighting coefficients in the differential quadrature approximation of the second order spatial derivative.The advantage of this approximation is that it reduces the problem to a first order time dependent integro-differential equation(IDE).The proposed scheme is obtained in the form of an algebraic system by reducing the time dependent IDE through unconditionally stable Euler backward method as time integrator.The scheme is validated using a homogeneous and two nonhomogeneous test problems.Conditioning of the system matrix and numerical convergence of the method are analyzed for spatial and temporal domain discretization parameters.Comparison of results of the present approach with Sinc collocation method and quasi-wavelet method are also made.

Numerical Algorithms for Solving One Type of Singular Integro-Differential Equation Containing Derivatives of the Time Delay States

This study presents numerical algorithms for solving a class of equations that partly consists of derivatives of the unknown state at previous certain times, as well as an integro-differential term containing a weakly singular kernel. These equations are types of integro-differential equation of the second kind and were originally obtained from an aeroelasticity problem. One of the main contributions of this study is to propose numerical algorithms that do not involve transforming the original equation into the corresponding Volterra equation, but still enable the numerical solution of the original equation to be determined. The feasibility of the proposed numerical algorithm is demonstrated by applying examples in measuring the maximum errors with exact solutions at every computed nodes and calculating the corresponding numerical rates of convergence thereafter.
