Solving Fredholm Equation of the second kind












4












$begingroup$


Consider the Fredholm Equation of the second kind,



$$phi(x) = 3 + lambda int_{0}^{pi} text{cos}(x-s) , phi(s) ,ds$$



Where the analytical solution is found as,



$$phi(x) = 3 + frac{6lambda}{1 - lambda frac{pi}{2}},text{sin}(x)$$



How could one use Mathematica to find a numerical solution to the same integral equation by using the method of successive approximations (i.e. the Neumann series approach)?

          Use DSolve



          PHI=DSolveValue[[Phi][x] == 3 + [Lambda] Integrate[ Cos[x - s] [Phi][s], {s, 0, Pi}], [Phi],x]
          (*Function[{x}, (3 (-2 + [Pi] [Lambda] - 4 [Lambda] Sin[x]))/(-2 + [Pi] [Lambda])]*)


          The solution can be further used in the form PHI[x].

          Following
          Weisstein, Eric W. "Integral Equation Neumann Series." From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/IntegralEquationNeumannSeries.html, the Neumann series approximation is:



          n = 10; (* for example *)
          [Phi][x_, 0] = 3;
          Do[[Phi][x_, j_] = 3 + [Lambda] Integrate[Cos[x - p] [Phi][p, j - 1], {p, 0, [Pi]}], {j, n}]


          The last term in the series [Phi][x,n] is the approximation to [Phi][x].



          Here is what Mathematica returns for [Phi][x,10].



          phi_of_ten



          To investigate convergence, I guess we could look at the difference [Phi][x,n] - [Phi][x] as n gets large, since you know [Phi][x].

            Made some edits to my answer. Had a couple of typos. Within a function definition it is x_, otherwise x. Also, [Phi][x,j] needs two arguments, one for x and one for the jth approximation. Hope its clear.

            Please clear out your variables, perhaps with Evaluation: Quit Kernel: Local. To print the final (nth) value: [Phi][x, n].

            Made some edits to my answer. Had a couple of typos. Within a function definition it is x_, otherwise x. Also, [Phi][x,j] needs two arguments, one for x and one for the jth approximation. Hope its clear.

          Thank you! When I try to run this, my output is returning the value of 3? How did you get Mathematica to return the series above for [Phi][10]?
