Abstract

Rationalized Haar functions are developed to approximate the solutions of the nonlinear Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations. Properties of Rationalized Haar functions are first presented, and the operational matrix of integration together with the product operational matrix are utilized to reduce the computation of integral equations to into some algebraic equations. The method is computationally attractive, and applications are demonstrated through illustrative examples.
