An innovative iterative approach to solving Volterra integral equations of second kind

Many scientists have shown great interest in exploring the realm of second-kind integral equations, offering many techniques for solving them, including exact, approximate, and numerical methods. This paper introduces the Hussein-Jassim method (HJ-method) for solving Volterra integral equations of the second kind (VIESKs). The foundation of this approach lies in the principle of Maclaurin expansion. The algorithm of the method was derived, and its convergence was analysed. Furthermore, the method was applied to various Volterra integral equations, encompassing linear, nonlinear, homogeneous, and nonhomogeneous cases. Ultimately, the proposed method successfully addressed these equations, with the approximate solutions converging toward the exact solution.
