• Resumen

  • In this paper, a novel technique is being formulated for the numerical solution of integral equations (IEs) as well as integro-differential equations (IDEs) of first and higher orders.

    The present approach is an improved form of the Haar wavelet methods (Aziz and Siraj-ul-Islam, 2013, Siraj-ul-Islam et al., 2013). The proposed modifications resulted in computational efficiency and simple applicability of the earlier methods (Aziz and Sirajul- Islam, 2013, Siraj-ul-Islam et al., 2013). In addition to this, the new approach is being extended from IDEs of first order to IDEs of higher orders with initial- and boundaryconditions.

    Unlike the methods (Aziz and Siraj-ul-Islam, 2013, Siraj-ul-Islam et al., 2013) (where the kernel function is being approximated by two-dimensional Haar wavelet), the kernel function in the present case is being approximated by one-dimensional Haar wavelet. The modified approach is easily extendable to higher order IDEs. Numerical examples are being included to show the accuracy and efficiency of the new method.
