Abstract
The paper presents an application of the homotopy analysis method for solving the nonlinear and linear integral equations of the second kind. In this method a series is created, sum of which (if the series is convergent) gives the solution of discussed equation. Conditions ensuring convergence of this series are presented in the paper. Error of approximate solution, obtained by considering only partial sum of the series, is also estimated. Examples illustrating usage of the investigated method are presented as well, including the example having practical application for calculating the charge in supply circuit of flash lamps used in cameras.
