Comparison Some of Numerical and Analytical methods for Solving Nonlinear Volterra Integral Equations with Applications
Abstract
This paper presents an in-depth investigation into the numerical solutions of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the second kind (NVIE-II). Two distinct methods are applied for approximating the solutions: combining the Laplace transform and the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) using He's polynomials, and the Variational Iteration Method (VIM). The first method involves transforming the integral equation using the Laplace transform, followed by solving it through the Adomian Decomposition Method to produce a series of approximations, which are then compared with the exact solution. The second method, based on VIM, converts the Volterra integral equation into an integro-differential equation and demonstrates the rapid convergence of successive approximations to the exact solution. A thorough comparison is conducted between the exact solution, the approximate results obtained from both methods, and the associated error estimations. The findings offer a detailed evaluation of the effectiveness and accuracy of these methods, providing insight into their practical application for solving nonlinear (NVIE-II).
