As an approach to approximate solutions of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind, adaptive hp-refinement is used firstly together with Galerkin method and with Sloan iteration method which is applied to Galerkin method solution. The linear hat functions and modified integrated Legendre polynomials are used as basis functions for the approximations. The most appropriate refinement is determined by an optimization problem given by Demkowicz, 2007. During the calculationsL2-projections of approximate solutions on four different meshes which could occur between coarse mesh and fine mesh are calculated. Depending on the error values, these procedures could be repeated consecutively or different meshes could be used in order to decrease the error values.

In this work we obtain approximate solutions for Fredholm integral equations of the second kind by means of Petrov–Galerkin method, choosing “regular pairs” of subspaces, Xn,Yn, which are simply characterized by the positive definitiveness of a correlation matrix. This choice guarantees the solvability and numerical stability of the approximation scheme in an easy way, and the selection of orthogonal basis for the subspaces make the calculations quite simple. Afterwards, we explore an interesting phenomenon called “superconvergence”, observed in the 1970s by Sloan: once the approximations un∈Xn to the solution of the operator equation u-Ku=g are obtained, the convergence can be notably improved by means of an iteration of the method, un*=g+Kun. We illustrate both procedures of approximation by means of two numerical examples: one for a continuous kernel, and the other for a weakly singular one.

In this paper, Bernstein piecewise polynomials are used to solve the integral equations numerically. A matrix formulation is given for a non-singular linear Fredholm Integral Equation by the technique of Galerkin method. In the Galerkin method, the Bernstein polynomials are used as the approximation of basis functions. Examples are considered to verify the effectiveness of the proposed derivations, and the numerical solutions guarantee the desired accuracy.  Keywords: Fredholm integral equation; Galerkin method; Bernstein polynomials. © 2010 JSR Publications.

In the present paper, a computational method for solving nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm Hammerestein integral equations is proposed by using compactly supported semiorthogonal cubic B-spline wavelets as basis functions. Dual functions and Operational matrices of B-spline wavelets via Galerkin method are utilized to reduce the computation of integral equations to some algebraic system, where in the Galerkin method dual of B-spline wavelets are applied as weighting functions. The method is computationally attractive, and applications are demonstrated through illustrative examples.
