Abstract

A numerical method to solve the nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the first kind with discontinuous kernels is proposed. Usage of operational matrices for this kind of equation is a cost-efficient scheme. Shifted Legendre polynomials are applied for solving Volterra integral equations with discontinuous kernels by converting the equation to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The convergence analysis is given for the approximated solution and numerical examples are demonstrated to denote the precision of the proposed method.
