An iterative solution for the second kind integral equations using radial basis functions

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to present a new method based on radial basis functions (RBFs) and iterative procedure for the solution of linear integral equations of Fredholm and Volterra types of the second kind. To obtain a primary approximate solution, the collocation method with a small number of nodes, based on the RBFs and their first-order derivatives, can be adapted. Moreover, we present an iterative procedure from the integral equation to improve the accuracy of solution. Numerical examples show that our approach has the potentiality to become an efficient method.
