A higher-order uniform accuracy scheme for nonlinear ψ-Volterra integral equations in two dimension with weakly singular kernel

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a higher-order uniform accuracy scheme for nonlinear $ \psi $-Volterra integral equations in two dimension with weakly singular kernel by using the modified block-by-block method. First, we constructed a high order uniform accuracy scheme method in this paper by dividing the entire domain into some small sub-domains and approximating the integration function with biquadratic interpolation in each sub-domain. Second, we rigorously proved that the convergence order of the higher order uniform accuracy scheme was $ O(h_{s}^{3+\sigma_{1} }+h_{t}^{3+\sigma_{2} }) $ with $ 0 < \sigma_{1}, \sigma_{2} < 1 $ by using the discrete Gronwall inequality. Finally, two numerical examples were used to illustrate experimental results with different values of $ \psi $ to support the theoretical results.
