Non-polynomial spline functions and Quasi-linearization to approximate nonlinear Volterra integral equation

Abstract

In this work, we want to use the Non-polynomial spline basis and Quasi-linearization method to solve the nonlinear Volterra integral equation. When the iterations of the Quasilinear technique employed in nonlinear integral equation we obtain a linear integral equation then by using the Non-polynomial spline functions and collocation method the solution of the integral equation can be approximated. Analysis of convergence is investigated. At the end, some numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.
