Fredholm integral equation with a difference kernel containing a periodic multiplier
Keywords:
Fredholm integral equation, periodic multiplier of the difference kernel, periodically layered medium, recurrent solution methodAbstract
A Fredholm integral equation with a kernel of the form λ(x)K(x–t) is considered on an interval [0; n] (n is a natural number), where λ(x) is a 1-periodic function, and K(x–t) represents an integral superposition of exponential functions. It is assumed that the solution of this equation is known for one period, and based on this, a recurrent method for the successive continuation of the solution over the entire interval under consideration is developed. An equation with such a kernel describes processes of transport, optimal filtering, wave propagation, and other phenomena in periodically layered media (for example, in crystals or systems whose properties repeat at regular intervals). The proposed method can serve as a basis for a stable computational algorithm for solving the given integral equation. The obtained a priori estimates make it possible to control the accuracy and convergence of the computational process.
