Abstract

In this paper, we propose an iterative numerical method for two-dimensional fuzzy Volterra linear integral equations. The method uses a recent fuzzy trapezoidal cubature formula for Lipschitzian fuzzy-number-valued functions applied at each iterative step. The convergence of the method is proved providing an error estimate and some numerical experiments illustrate the accuracy of this method confirming the theoretical results.
