Abstract We have obtained solutions of integral equations such as Volterra convolution type of first and second type and Abel integral equation using Laplace - Stieltjes transform and ap- plications are mentioned through examples. The convolution property for Laplace - Stieltjes transform is obtained. The solution obtained is considered in distributional sense. 1 Introduction Integral transforms, viz. Fourier, Laplace, Hankel, Sumudu, Elzaki, Aboodh, and the wavelet transform among other, have been used [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] to obtain solutions of various types of differential and integral equations. The Laplace transform can be studied and researched from years ago [1, 9] In this paper, Laplace - Stieltjes transform is employed in evaluating solutions of certain integral equations that is aided by the convolution. It is remarked that the solution of integral equations obtained by using Laplace - Stieltjes transform, can also be defined on distribution spaces. Let F (t) is a well defined function of t, for t ≥ 0 and s be a complex number. The Stieltjes integral is 1 Z ∗ −st (LsF )(s) = F (s) = e dF (t); (1.1) 0 which converges on some s0; the Stieltjes integral (1.1) converges on s such that Re(s) > Re(s0). The integral (1.1) is called Laplace - Stieltjes transform of F (t): Its inversion formula is given by b+ic Z est F (t) = lim F ∗(s)ds: (1.2) c!1 s b−ic where i is imaginary unit; b > max(σ; 0) and σ is the radius of convergence. The inversion theorem is given by Saltz [11] and further an improved form of it is proved by Ditzian and Jakimovzvi [2]. Laplace - Stieltjes transform is defined for generalized functions by [3] . Growth for analytic function of Laplace - Stieltjes transform and some other properties are proved by [13, 14]. Convolution theorem and the Parseval equation is defined by [4]. 1. Laplace - Stieltjes transform of derivative is defined by 0 ∗ (Ls(F (t)) = s[F (s) − F (0)] (1.3) 2. When F (t) = tn;the same yields n! G(n + 1) F ∗[tn] = = : (1.4) sn sn 44 Deshna Loonker 3. If α; β are any constants and F (t) and G(t) are functions of t, then the linear property for Laplace - Stieltjes transform is defined by F ∗[αf(t) + βg(t)] = αF ∗(s) + βG∗(s) . (1.5) 4. The relation between the Laplace - Stieltjes transform and Laplace transform is given by 1 1 Z Z F ∗(s) = e−stdF (t) = s e−stF (t) (1.6) 0 0 Theorem 1.1: Let F (t) and G(t) are Laplace - Stieltjes transform of F ∗(s) and G∗(s); respectively. Then the convolution is 1 L [(F ∗ G)] = F ∗(s)G∗(s) S s Proof . The convolution of two function F (t) and G(t) is 1 Z F (t) ∗ G(t) = F (t − τ)G(t)dτ 0 Using Laplace - Stieltjes transform (1.6), we get 2 1 3 Z Ls[F (t) ∗ G(t)] = Ls 4 F (t − τ)G(τ)dτ5 0 1 1 Z Z = s e−stF (t − τ)G(τ)dτdt 0 0 1 1 Z Z = s G(t)dτ e−stF (t − τ)dt 0 0 Now setting t − τ = ξ;we have 1 1 Z Z −s(τ+ξ) Ls[F (t) ∗ G(t)] = s G(τ)dτ e F (ξ)dξ 0 −τ 1 1 Z Z = s e−sτ G(τ)dτ e−sξF (ξ)dξ 0 0 2 1 1 3 1 Z Z = s2 e−sτ G(τ)dτ e−sξF (ξ)dξ s 4 5 0 0 i.e. 1 L [F (t) ∗ G(t)] = F ∗(s)G∗(s) (1.7) s s This proves the theorem of convolution. 2 Solution of Integral Equations by Laplace - Stieltjes Transform Solution of different types of integral equations are given by using different types of integral transforms [1, 6, 7, 8]. In this section we use Laplace - Stieltjes to obtain solution of certain integral equation. 1. Consider the Volterra integral equation of first kind with a convolution type kernel SOLUTION OF ....... LAPLACE - STIELTJES TRANSFORM 45 Z x f(x) = k(s − t)g(t)dt , (2.1) 0 where k(s − t) depends only on the difference (x − t). Invoking the Laplace - Stieltjes transform (1.1) and convolution (1.7), the expression (2.1) yields 1 F ∗(s) = K∗(s)G∗(s) s i.e. sF ∗(s) G∗(s) = : (2.2) K∗(s) Taking inverse Laplace - Stieltjes transform, we obtain sF ∗(s) g(x) = G−1 ; (2.3) K∗(s) as the solution to (2.1). 2. Consider the Volterra integral equation of second kind with a convolution type kernel Z x g(x) = f(x) + k(s − t)g(t)dt . (2.4) 0 On applying the Laplace - Stieltjes transform (1.1) to both the sides, and using convolution formula (1.7), equation (2.4) gives 1 G∗(s) = F ∗(s) + K∗(s)G∗(s) s i.e. G∗(s)[s − K∗(s)] = sF ∗(s) i.e. sF ∗(s) G∗(s) = [s − K∗(s)] and the inverse Laplace - Stieltjes transform, when invoked, gives sF ∗(s) g(x) = G−1 ; (2.5) [s − K∗(s)] which is the required solution of (2.4). Similarly, considering Fredhlom integral equation of first and second kind of convolution type and using the Laplace - Stieltjes transform and its convolution, under similar analysis, solutions for these can be obtained. 3. Now, let we consider the Abel integral equation [5, 7] Z x g(x) f(t) = α dx ; 0 < α < 1 (2.6) 0 (t − x) i.e. −α f = g ∗ t+ , (2.7) −α −α −α ∗ −α where t+ = t H(t); and t+ is Heaviside unit step function . When F [t ] is known and the convolution of the Laplace - Stieltjes transform is employed, the solution of (2.6) will be as follows 1 F ∗[f(t)] = F ∗[g(t)] F ∗[t−α] . s + 46 Deshna Loonker n ∗ G(n+1) When f(t) = t , the Laplace - Stieltjes transform is F (s) = sn . Similarly, we prove that if f(t) = t−α, then the Laplace - Stieltjes transform is F ∗(s) = G(1 − α)sα; where H(t) = 1; t ≥ 0: Putting the value of F ∗[t−α] in above equation, we have 1 F ∗(s) = F ∗[g(t)] · G(1 − α)sα . (2.8) s F ∗(s) 1 F ∗[g(t)] = · .

By virtue of (1.3), F ∗[G0(t)] = sG∗(s) − sG(0) = sG∗(s): Invoking it in (2.10), we have sin πα F ∗[G0(t) F ∗[g(t)] = ·s[ ]: π s Therefore, the complete solution of (2.10) is obtained as sin(πα) d Z t g(t) = (t − x)α−1f(x)dx . (2.11) π dt 0 . We need to specify the space (or spaces) of generalized function in order to define integral equations on distribution spaces. Then, we need to give an interpretation of the equation in terms of an operator defined in that space of distributions. This interpretation should be such that when 0 applied to ordinary functions, integral equation can be recovered. One is the space D41[a; 1), which is known as mixed distribution space [cf. [5]] that can be identified with the space of 0 0 distribution D (R) whose support is [a; 1). Another distribution space is D43[a; 1), which can be identified with the space S0(R) (tempered distribution space) whose support is contained in [a; 1): The interpretation of integral equation can be achieved by using the concept of convolution of distributions. If both u and v have supports bounded on the left, then u ∗ v is always defined. Actually, if supp u ⊆ [a; 1) and supp v ⊆ [b; 1), then supp u ∗ v ⊆ [a + b; 1):Thus, the 0 0 0 convolution can be considered as a bilinear operation ∗ : D41[a; 1)×D41[b; 1) ! D41[a+b; 1): 0 0 If u 2 D41[a; 1) and v 2 D41[b; 1) are locally integrable functions, then we have Z t−b (u ∗ v)(t) = u(τ)v(t − τ)dτ , t > a + b . (2.12) a 0 0 When b = 0 and v 2 D41[0; 1);we have u ∗ v 2 D41[a; 1) . Thus the convolution, with v; 0 defines an operator of the space D41[a; 1) , which is given by SOLUTION OF .......

First, integral transforms of mathematical physics are defined by using the notions of the inverse transforms and generating operators. The convolutions and generating operators of the integral transforms of mathematical physics are closely connected with the integral, differential, and integro-differential equations that can be solved by means of the corresponding integral transforms. Another important technique for applications of the integral transforms is the Mikusinski-type operational calculi that are also discussed in the article. The general schemata for applications of the integral transforms of mathematical physics are illustrated on an example of the Laplace integral transform.

The tool of G-transform is analyzed to be well applied to convolution-typed Volterra integral equation. Keywords: initial value problem; G-transform; Volterra integral equation 1. Introduction It is a well-known fact that Volterra integral equation is equivalent to the initial value problem of ordinary differential equation(ODE). Since the tool used to find the solutions in this article is G-transform, a generalized Laplace-typed transform, we would like to check it up first. In a word, G-transform is a comprehensive form of Laplace-typed transform, and this transform has a strong point in the choice of an integer a. This means that we can freely choose a for a variety of problems. The form of Laplace-typed transform is Z ¥ k(s;t) f (t)dt; 0 and Laplace transform has the kernel k(s;t) = e−st as we know already[8]. This Laplace transform can be rewritten as Z ¥ − t e u f (t)dt 0 by s = 1=u, and so we proposed the general form of Laplace-typed transform by Z ¥ a − t u e u f (t)dt 0 as a natural extension[4].

  • Numerical Solutions of Fredholm Integral Equation of Second Kind Using Piecewise Bernoulli Polynomials
    Numerical Solutions of Fredholm Integral Equation of Second Kind Using Piecewise Bernoulli Polynomials Afroza Shirin1, Md. Shafiqul Islam*2 1Institute of Natural Sciences, United International University, Dhaka-1209, Bangladesh. Email: [email protected]. 2Department of Mathematics, University of Dhaka, Dhaka – 1000, Bangladesh *Corresponding author, Email: [email protected] Abstract: The aim of this paper is to solve the integral equations numerically using piecewise Bernoulli polynomials. The Bernoulli polynomials are derived explicitly over the unit interval. A matrix formulation for a non-singular linear Fredholm integral equation of the second kind is derived by the technique of Galerkin method. In the Galerkin method, the Bernoulli polynomials are exploited as the linear combination in the approximation as basis functions. Numerical examples are considered to verify the effectiveness of the proposed derivations. Keywords: Fredholm integral equation, Galerkin method, Bernoulli polynomials, Numerical solutions. I. Introduction In the survey of solutions of integral equations, a large number of analytical but a few approximate methods are available for solving numerically various classes of integral equations [1, 2, 7, 8 ]. Since the piecewise polynomials are differentiable and integrable, the Bernstein polynomials [5 – 8] have been used for solving differential and integral equations numerically. Recently, integral equations have been solved by the well known variational iteration method [9]. In the literature [7], Mandal and Bhattacharya have attempted to solve integral equations numerically using Bernstein polynomials, but they obtained the results in terms of finite series solutions In contrast to this, we solve the linear Fredholm integral equation of the second kind by exploiting very well known Galerkin method, and Bernoulli polynomials [4] are used as trial functions.

  • Integral Equation
    :Integral Equation: 1. Definition Integral Equation: An integral equation is an equation is which an unknown function appears under one or more integral sign. 2. Linear and Non-Linear Integral equation: An integral equation is called linear if only linear operation are performed in it upon the unknown function. An integral equation which is not linear is known as a non-linear integral equation. Most general type of integral equation is of the form ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) . In this case upper limit may be variable or constant. And = + ∫ , lower limit is always constant. 3. If upper limit is constant then integral equation is known as Fredholm integral equation. If upper limit is variable ( ) then integral equation is known as Volterra integral equation. 4. In above expression if () ≠ then integral equation is third kind. And if () = 0 then integral equation is first kind. Again when () = 1 then integral equation is second kind. If () = 0 then integral equation is homogeneous. 5. Singular Integral equation: When one or both limits of integration become infinite or when the kernel become infinite at one or more points within the range of integration, the integral equation is known as singular integral equation. 6. Symmetric kernel: A kernel (, ) is symmetric (hermitian) if (, ) = (, ) in case of real values = . 7. Seprable of Degenerate kernel: (, ) = ∑ () ℎ() note that () can be regarded as linearly independent. 8. Integral equation of the Convolution type: Kernel must be of type (, ) = ( − ) 9.

Introduction The integral equation method is widely used for solving many problems in mathematical physics and engineering. These problems are often reduced to integral equations of the first kind. This article proposes a novel direct method to solve these equations. Integral equations of the first kind are inherently ill-posed problems, meaning that the solution is generally unstable, and small changes to the problem can make very large changes to the answers obtained [2,4,5]. This ill-posedness makes numerical solutions very difficult, a small error may lead to an unbounded error.
