Submission of an original manuscript to the Mathematical Communications will be taken to mean that it represents original work not previously published, that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication; and, if accepted for publication, it will be published in print and online form and it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, for commercial purposes, in any language, without the consent of the publisher. The journal takes the stance that the publication of scholarly research is meant to disseminate knowledge and, in a not-for-profit regime, benefits neither publisher nor author financially. It sees itself as having an obligation to its authors and to society to make content available online now that the technology allows for such a possibility.

Abstract

In this paper we develop a class of generalized extrapolation methods for numerical solution of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The direct representation of this class allows us to simply discretize the nonlinear integral equations with smooth kernels. This approach enjoys several outstanding features of numerical methods such as: economized computational cost, the high order accuracy, direct implementation, discrretization on arbitrary nodes and applying the methods with positive weights. The comparison results demonstrate the superior results of the new class of methods versus the classical and recent approaches.

Keywords
