Here, by converting integral equation of te first kind to a linear equation of te second kind and te ordinary differential equation to integral equation we are going to solve te equation easily. Te metod of successive approximations Neumann s series) is applied to solve linear and nonlinear Volterra integral equation of te second kind. Some examples are presented to illustrate metods. Keywords: Volterra Integral Equation, First Kind, Second Kind, Kernel, Metod of Successive Approximations 1. Introduction Te integral equation originates from te conversion of a boundary-value problem or an initial-value problem associated wit a partial or an ordinary differential equation, but many problems lead directly to integral equations and cannot be formulated in terms of differential equations [7], [10] & [11]. Tere as on for doing tis is tat it may make solution of te problem easier, or sometimes enable us, to prove fundamental results on te existence and uniqueness of te solution. An integral equation is an equation in wic te unknown function ) to be determined appears under te integral sign [3] & [7].A typical form of an integral equation in ) is of te form. ) = )+λ ),)) 1) ) Were Kx,t) is called te kernel of te integral equation, and αx) and βx) are te limits of integration. It can be easily observed tat te unknown function fx) appears under te integral sign. It is to be noted ere tat bot te kernel Kx,t) and te function φx) in equation are given functions; and λ is a constant parameter [1], [3], [5], [7]&[9]. Te prime objective of tis paper is to determine te unknown function fx)tat will satisfy equation 1) using a number of Numerical tecniques. It needs considerable efforts in exploring tese metods to find solutions of te unknown function. Te teory and application of integral equations is an important subject witin applied matematics, pysics, and engineering. In particular, tey are widely used in mecanics, geopysics, electricity and magnetism, kinetic teory of gases, ereditary penomena in biology, quantum mecanics, matematical economics, and queuing teory [], [7], [8] & [11]. Integral equations are used as matematical models for many and varied pysical situations, and integral equations also occur as reformulations of oter matematical problems. Now begin wit a brief classification of integral equations, and ten in later sections, by considering volterra integral equations of te first and te second kind. By doing tis, it elps te researcers to prepare temselves for more callenging problems tat will be considered in subsequent topics.. Significance of te Study Integral equations are often easier to solve, more elegant and compact tan a corresponding differential equation. Because it does not require supplementary initial or boundary conditions and te contribution of tis study is tat: Distinguis te importance of integral equation over te differential equation. Initiate oter researcers for dept study about integral equation using different numerical tecniques.
2 Pure and Applied Matematics Journal 016; 56): It gives clue to extend te concept of integral equation to many interdisciplinary areas instead of using differential equations. It invites oter researcers interested on te rest part of integral equations. 3. esearc Metods In tis researc, we ad used successive approximation metod of integral equations in transforming from ordinary differential equation ODE). Integral equations of te first kind are often extremely ill-conditioned. Applying te kernel to a function is generally a smooting operation, so te solution, wic requires inverting te operator, will be extremely sensitive to small canges or errors in te input. Te treatment of te equation will depend on te smootness of Kx,t) and fx). Integral equations of te first kind linear or nonlinear) are generally suspected of being ill-conditioned or illposed. In suc circumstances small canges in fx) or Kx,t) may ave a large effect in te numerical solution of fx) of te problem. If te original problem ad a solution te perturbed equation may ave no solution, and vice-versa.. Integral Equations and Teir elationsip to Differential Equations Te teories of ordinary and partial differential equations are a fruitful source of integral equations. Te researcer sall sketc ere one of te ways in wic integral equations can arise from ordinary differential equations. Most ordinary differential equations can be expressed as integral equations, but te reverse is not true [10] & [11]. To investigate te relationsip between integral and deferential equations, Te researcer will need te following lemma wic will allow us to replace a double integral by a single one. Lemma 1: eplacement Lemma) suppose tat [,!] I is continuous.

Te kernel is always defined and continuous on u ={,):d) f),d) f)} classification of integral equations. An integral equation can be classified as a linear or nonlinear integral equation as we know in te ordinary and partial differential equations [], [6] & [7]. In te previous section, Tese ave noticed tat te differential equation can be equivalently represented by te integral equation. Terefore, tere is a good relationsip between tese two equations. Te most frequently used integral equations fall under two major classes, namely Volterra and Fredolm integral equations. Of course, Tese ave to classify tem as omogeneous or non omogeneous; and also linear or nonlinear. In some practical problems. Tis researc is focusing on te Volterra integral equations and its solution by te metod of successive approximations Neumann s series) Te classification of integral equations centers on tree basic caracteristics wic togeter describe teir overall structure and it is useful to set tese down briefly before entering into greater detail. I Te kind of an equation refers to te location of te unknown function. First kindequations ave te unknown function present under te integral sign only. Secondkind equations also ave te unknown function outside te integral. II Te istorical descriptions Fredolm and Volterra are concerned wit te integration.interval. In a Fredolm equation te integral is over a finite interval wit fixed endpoints. In a Volterra equation te integral is indefinite. III Te adjective singular is sometimes used wen te integration is improper, eiter. because te interval is infinite, or because te integrand is unbounded witin te. given interval. Obviously an integral equation can be singular on bot counts. 6.

Various commonly occurring types of singularity call for individual treatment. Likewise provision can be made for cases of symmetry, periodicity or oter special structure, were te solution may ave special properties and/or economies may be affected in te solution process. We note in particular te following cases to wic we sall often ave occasion to refer in te description of individual algoritms. Te presence of te kernel under te operator makes te

Consider te apparently benign kernel clearly te form of te kernel is crucial to nature of te solution, indeed, to its very existence. A linear integral equation wit a kernel kx,t) = kt,x) is said to be symmetric. Tis property plays a key role in te teory of fredolm integral equations. If Kx,t) =Ka+b x,a+b t) in a linear integral equation, te kernel is called centro-symmetric If te equations of te kernel as te form Kx,t) = KLx,t,yt)M=Kx t)glt,yt)m, te equation is called a convolution integral equation; in te linear case Kx t)glt,yt)m=yt). If te kernel as te form KLx,t,yt)M=K Y Lx,t,yt)M,a t x. KLx,t,yt)M Lx,t,yt)M,x t b Were te functions Y are well beaved. 6.. Te Conversion First Kind Integral Equations to te Second Kind Integral Equations Tus it would appear tat Volterra integral equations of te second kind are more well beaved tat Volterra integral equation of te first kind [7]. To te extent tat tis is true, we may replace any Volterra integral equation of te first kind wit Volterra integral equations of te second kind. Te relation between Volterra integral equations of te first and te second kind can be establised in te following manner. Te first kind Volterra equation is usually. ) = k, ) [) 0) N{ if te derivatives = N ), N = N,) F N = N,) exists and are continuous, ten te equation can be reduced to one of te second kind into ways. Te first and te simplest way are to differentiate bot sides of equation 11) wit respect to x and we obtain by using te Leibnitz rule.

Solution of Volterra Integral Equation In te previous sections, we ave clearly defined te integral equations wit some useful illustrations. Tis section deals wit te Volterra integral equations and teir solution tecniques. Te approac of Volterra equations in muc te same way as it as been done Fredolm equations, but tere is te problem tat te upper limit of te integral is te independent variable of te equation. For tus coose a quadrature sceme tat utilizes te endpoints of te interval; oterwise we will not be able to evaluate te functional equation at te relevant quadrature points. One could adopt te view tat Volterra equations are, in general, just special cases of Fredolm integral equation equations. λ, 9) Were Kx,t is te kernel of te integral equation, φ x a continuous function of x,and λ a parameter. Here, φ xand Kx,t are te given functions but fx is an unknown function tat needs to be determined. Te limits of integral for te Volterra integral equations are functions ofx. Te nonomogeneous Volterra integral equation of te first kind is defined as, 30) Te important class of integral equations in wic many features of te general teory already appeared in te introduction. Tere are a ost of solution tecniques to deal wit te Volterra integral equations Te Metod of Successive Approximations for Linear Volterra Integral Equations In tis metod, replace te unknown function fx under te integral sign of te Volterra equation by any selective real-valued continuous function f t, called te zerot approximation [10]. Tis substitution will give te first approximation f Y t by. Y λ, 31) It is obvious tat f Y x is continuous if φx, Kx,t, and f x are continuous. Te second approximation x can be obtained similarly by replacing f x in equation 31) by f Y x obtained above. And we λ, Y 3) Continuing in tis manner, we obtain an infinite sequence of function f x,f Y x,f x,f x, Tat satisfies te recurrence relation λ, iy 33) for n1,,3,... and f x is equivalent to any selected realvalued function. Te most commonly selected function forf x are 0,1,and x. Tus, at te limit, te solution fx of te equation 9) is obtained as eg 3) so tat te resulting solution fx is independent of te coice of te zerot approximation f x. Tis process of approximation is extremely simple. However, if we follow te Picard s successive approximation metod, it needs to set f x =φx, and determine f Y x and oter successive approximation as follows: Y λ, Y iy λ, i@ λ, iy Te last equation is te recurrence relation.

However, due to recent development of novel tecniques it is now possible to find solutions of some types of nonlinear integral equations if not all. In general, te solution of te nonlinear integral equation is not unique. However, te existence of a unique solution of nonlinear integral equations wit specific conditions is possible. We first define a nonlinear integral equation in general, and ten cite some particular types of nonlinear integral equations. In general, a nonlinear integral equation is defined as given in te following equation: 5 fx= Fx+λ& Kx,tGLftMdt = Fx+λ& Gx,t,ftdt orfx Were αx and βx are constants and te equations are called non linear Fredolm integral equations. fx= Fx+λ& Kx,tGLftMdt orfx = Fx + λ& GLx,t,ftMdt Were αx is constant and xis independent variable te equations are called non linear Volterra integral equations. Te function G f t is non-linear except G =a constant or G fx =fx in wic case G is linear. GLfxM= f x,forn, ten function G is non linear. Example 1 and fx= x+λ& x tdt x=1+λ&kx,tlnlftmdt Are non linear volterra integral equations. By contrast, solving nonlinear Volterra equations usually involves only a sligt modification of te algoritm for linear equations. Te Picard s metod to obtain successive algebraic approximations. By putting numbers in tese, we generally get excellent numerical results. Unfortunately, te metod can only be applied to a limited class of equations, in wic te successive integrations be easily performed. We sall treat everal examples by tese metods to enable teir merits to be compared. Consider te initial value problem given by te first-order nonlinear differential equation. df/dx = φ x, fx wit te initial condition fa = batx=a.tis initial value problem can be transformed to te nonlinear integral equation and is written as =!+&, For a first approximation, we replace tefxin φlx,fxmbyb, for a second approximation, we replace it by te first approximation, for te tird by te second, and so on. =!
