Abstract

In this paper, the numerical solution of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of the second kind is considered by two methods. The methods are developed by means of the Sinc approximation with the single exponential (SE) and double exponential (DE) transformations. These numerical methods combine a Sinc collocation method with the Newton iterative process that involves solving a nonlinear system of equations. We provide an error analysis for the methods. So far approximate solutions with polynomial convergence have been reported for this equation. These methods improve conventional results and achieve exponential convergence. Some numerical examples are given to confirm the accuracy and ease of implementation of the methods.
