Abstract
In this paper, a numerical collocation method is developed for solving linear and nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the second kind. The method is based on the approximation of the (exact) solution by a superposition of sigmoidal functions and allows one to solve a large class of integral equations having either continuous or $L^p$ solutions. Special computational advantages are obtained using unit step functions, and analytical approximations of the solution are also at hand. The numerical errors are discussed, and a priori as well as a posteriori estimates are derived for them. Numerical examples are given for the purpose of illustration.
