This book provides a comprehensive study of numerical techniques for solving integral and integro-differential equations using wavelet-based approximation methods. It combines both theoretical insights and practical applications, focusing on integer- and fractional-order equations, including those with weakly singular kernels. Starting with key definitions and theorems from integral equations and fractional calculus, the book establishes a clear mathematical framework. It then introduces wavelet-based schemes for approximating solutions, with a particular focus on convergence, stability, and error analysis. Each chapter is enriched with numerical examples, graphs, and tables that demonstrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed methods.
Features
