A new approach to the numerical solution of a class of linear and nonlinear integral equations of Fredholm type
ResearchPublished 1966
ResearchPublished 1966
A description of a new technique for the numerical integration of Fredholm integral equations. The approach appears to possess advantages in the case where k(u,v) is greater than or equal to 0. The reader familiar with the theory of invariant imbedding, particularly its application to radiative transfer, will understand the motivation for the method, which can be applied with equal ease to various classes of nonlinear integral equations. 5 pp. Ref.
