Reproducing kernel method for a class of weakly singular Fredholm integral equations

Abstract

Numerical methods for solving integral equations have been the focus of much research, including reproducing kernel methods. We present a new algorithm to solve weakly singular Fredholm integral equations (WSFIEs). The advantage of this method is that it is possible to pick any point in the interval of integration and also the approximate solution. The advantage of this method is used to remove singularity and reproducing kernel functions are used as a basis. The convergence of approximation solution to the exact solution is also proved. Some examples are displayed to demonstrate that the method is accurate and efficient for WSFIEs.
