单词 integral equation
释义
integral equation

Physics
  • An equation in which the unknown function is included under an integral sign (see integration). There are many problems in physics that can be expressed as either a differential equation or an integral equation, and it is sometimes more convenient to solve them using the latter. Integrating a differential equation gives rise to an integral equation with built-in boundary conditions. See also calculus.


Mathematics
  • An equation that involves integration of functions. In particular, the information given in an initial-value problem such as y’(x) = y with y(0) = 1 is equivalent to the integral equation

    y(x)=1+t=0t=xy(t)dt.

    This rewriting can be useful as the integral equation lends itself better to treatment by theorems of analysis, particularly to find approximate solutions.


Computer
  • Any equation for an unknown function f(x), axb, involving integrals of the function. An equation of the form

    f(x)=axK(x,y)f(y)dy+g(x)
    is a Volterra equation of the second kind. The analogous equation with constant limits
    f(x)=abK(x,y)f(y)dy+g(x)
    is a Fredholm equation of the second kind. If the required function only appears under the integral sign it is a Volterra or Fredholm equation of the first kind; these are more difficult to treat both theoretically and numerically. The Volterra equation can be regarded as a particular case of the Fredholm equation where
    K(x,y)=0fory>x
    Fredholm equations of the second kind occur commonly in boundary-value problems in mathematical physics. Numerical techniques proceed by replacing the integral with a rule for numerical integration, leading to a set of linear algebraic equations determining approximations to f(x) at a set of points in axb.
