Solving Fuzzy Nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm Integral Equations by Using Homotopy Analysis and Adomian Decomposition Methods

Abstract

In this paper, Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and homotopy analysis method (HAM) are proposed to solving the fuzzy nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equation of the second kind$(FVFIE-2)$. we convert a fuzzy nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equation to a nonlinear system of Volterra-Fredholm integral equation in crisp case. we use ADM , HAM and find the approximate solution of this system and hence obtain an approximation for fuzzy solution of the nonlinear fuzzy Volterra-Fredholm integral equation. Also, the existence and uniqueness of the solution and convergence of the proposed methods are proved. Examples is given and the results reveal that homotopy analysis method is very effective and simple compared with the Adomian decomposition method.
