A four-block scheme for nonlinear third-kind Volterra integral equations
摘要
In this study, an efficient scheme is developed to solve a class of nonlinear third-kind Volterra integral equations through the four-block approach. The method is formulated based on the Gauss–Lobatto quadrature rule. Notably, the proposed method eliminates the need for starting values, enabling the simultaneous computation of four unknown function values within each block. The convergence of the scheme is thoroughly examined using Gronwall’s inequality. Finally, three nonlinear examples confirm the approach’s accuracy, robustness, and effectiveness.
