Exercise 10
Use the modified decomposition method to solve the following Volterra integral equations:
ˆ x
x x
u(x) = e − xe + sin x + x cos x + xu(t) dt
0
Solution
Grouping the terms as we have makes it so that the series terminates early.
u0 (x) = ex + sin x
ˆ x
u1 (x) = x cos x − xex + xu0 (t) dt = x cos x − xex + x(ex − cos x) = 0
ˆ x 0
Therefore,
u(x) = ex + sin x.
